Nice argentine comedy
javiercba2 May 2020
It is a beautiful argentine comedy that shows the daily life of a divorced radio host who mainly talks about his life on the air. With a very particular humor, Sebastian Wainraich stars funny moments always keeping his serious face. It is very nice to see once again the beautiful Natalie Perez on screen.

Very good Argentinian Sit Com
gabo_alepb24 May 2020
Everything that can go wrong goes wrong. That's the premise of the series. It's cringe comedy with a heart. I really enjoyed it.

Absolutely outstanding... a dark comedy that is actually hilarious
raulcristian-946-6526623 February 2021
This sitcom gets funnier and funnier by the episode. It peaks with the arrival of the brother (Gaston, a heck of an actor!). Highly recommended.

I was looking for something funny after so many so-so shows, and finally found it. Here's rooting for a second season.

Watch it as a last resource
gusferna12 September 2020
The show is not good enough to deserve a second season which will likely have. The script is poor, the acting is not top notch either, I watched it because I used to listen to the radio show "Metro y Medio" (Sebastian is a radio host and does stand up in real life). I dont think Natalie Perez(33) should have the role of Sebastian(46) ex wife Pilar, the age gap is notorious and I just couldnt picture them as a couple in the entire season but I have to say she does a correct job as an actress. There are some sparks of humor and I liked Sombrilla(Santiago Korovsky) who makes the show bearable with his appearances. This show reminds me in a bad way to Seinfeld (both do the same job in the show and real life) but It doesnt deliver a good product.

Not worth the time
qui_j30 May 2020
I really tried to like this but it was such an amateurish production, with a childish script, just did not happen. Perhaps it will have more success in Argentina since the humor and political commentary is most applicable to that country. Not a sitcom that translates well enough to have a lot of global appeal.

Great insight

Into modern urban life in the city of Buenos Aires, where a rich mixture of ethnicities have yielded a thriving culture of the most varied range. The humor in the series, given its autochthonous nature, may go lost on international audiences but it's worth a watch.

Excellent Comedy on a radio personality
Nestor6821 April 2022
I enjoyed it very much. Sebastian is very creative. He shows all the weaknesses and strengths in his daily life as a live radio comedian. A third season is needed to continue with a good life history. We want Pablo Frabegas and Gabriel Schultz back, even Julieta Pink could appear. Thumbs up!!!!

Argentinian humor.
minandap8 June 2020
Loved this show but I'm a bit biased since I was born in Argentina. I live in the US since 1986 but I love Argentinian humor bit depressing but what the heck ...that's us.

A Very Good Argentine Comedy.
carloswilliamhughes19 March 2023
Wainrach basically plays himself but changes his name in this really subtle comedy series from Argentina. I might be misremembering but the kids who play his kids might actually be his or they're in the series but it seems to be based on his real life even down to the football team he supports.

It's very funny in a very understated way, the type of comedy and character that a Jack Dee or a Ricky Gervais would play and if Netflix did an English language version of the show starring either of those comedy actors then it would work wonderfully well.

Wainrach pays tribute to his barrio, his Jewish faith and to the great city of Buenos Aires which he obviously loves. Such a good show and one I feel a lot of British audiences could relate to. If you have come across this and want to watch a really decent comedy with depth but you are bothered about subtitles then - just give it a go, you might be pleasantly surpirsed.
