It is a Spanish TV series that can be watched without getting bored but might annoy or make you laugh from time to time.

The never-ending male vs. Female story is the subject of this series. The series dealt with the subject in the dimension of modern masculinity. But one migth feel that series is also about a version of feminism which tries to imitate the toxic masculinity and glorifies that twisted feminism a little bit (tiny bit!) more :)

While the series does not glorify either the female or the male point of view, it is sometimes unfair to both parties. However, the needle of injustice sometimes leans more towards the male side.

The reason Luis gets those testosterone shots is because he still wants to be with "his wife". No other woman interests him. However, his wife comments that "you need a testosterone shot to be interested in me". Poor Louis! :) It would have been more elegant if Esther would have told her husband that she was no longer interested in him without cheating on him.

It's too much for the Santi character to talk about his sexual life explicitly with his 16 years old daughter who will be considered a child. It's hard for the audience to empathize with that. It is another example of toxic-masculinity when Santi thinks his daughter is a lesbian and tells this to his friends proudly! After all, he and her daughter screw same gender! By the way she is bisexual! :)))

Pedro is what his partner Daniela is. They are both types of people who manipulate a certain group on "any subject" and earn money from it. Both Daniela and Pedro have a "deal" and break up when the terms of the deal are at the "relative" detriment of one party. No obvious love between them...

Here's Raul! Absolute toxic-masculine man. The equivalent of toxic-masculinity in the encyclopedia! Almost the only character who deserves everything that happens to him.

While the character Luz encouraged her friend Esther to cheat on her husband, her reaction when she was cheated on was very hypocritical.

The show definitely deserves a second season. In the second season, It would be much better if the series handeled the relations regardless of gender. But it would be a risk to lose lots of audience from both genders!

If you love spanish humor, you will definitely enjoy Machos Alpha. This show is revolving around four long time friends, now in their forties, and their relationships with their wifes/girlfriends.

So, what is wrong with this series. Well, first thing you'll realize are stereotypes. Both, man and woman, are extremes in this matter. Now, you will instantly get a hint that Pedro and Raul are "bad guys", machists, alphas and so on, while Santi and Luis are typical omegas, submisive, stripped off their masculinity, which show wants to present as a good thing?! Why?? What sort equality is "if a man cheats on a woman, he should be banished to live on an island with man eating lions, while, if woman does the same, man should forgive her because it was his fault in the first place". Toxic feminism should not be praised. Just like all the "isms", this one is extreme and wants man to treat woman not as their equals, but as their superiors and cut them some slack when wronging man.

The season ends on even lower note, and the conclusion is that man shouldn't be man, but woman should be both man and woman and make man miserable. Much potential gone to waste!

Ok where do I start? With the father explaining to his daughter how he slept with strange people on a daily basis describing also what kind of sex he had ? Or do we go with that woman who cheated on her husband tried new things and when they didn't work for her , her husband was there like an idiot ? Or do I go with the guy that he is being forced into an open relationship? Just imagine if it was the guy who was forcing his girlfriend into this what the results would be ! They make males look like idiots in here like they don't have no say ! Safe to say that this show was created by a radical feminist that just wants to exploit males and family values at its core ! It's just trash tv! They made it look like you could have sex with everyone without respecting any relationship! Aaaa and the resolve on the last episode was just awful and very cheap ! So one guy just went with his abusive and cheating wife (loser) the other one also went back with his cheating wife after she destroyed her family and traumatized her kids(also a loser) the other guy got humiliated on live tv just because he was speaking his mind and his girlfriend could not help it! She could not keep up so she asked him to slow down and left the guy no choice but to cross himself (aaa yeah of course they made him look like the bad guy ) and the cherry on top this lawyer wife on this open relationship couple after sleeping with half of the city all of a sudden feels cheated on just because she found out that her bf was sleeping before with someone else . Mind you that she comes up with all these pervert ideas and she don't have a problem trying them (looks to me like she has experience but they won't tell u that in the movie because just in case u didn't figure it out by now they have to make the last guy look like a loser tooo! Ta daaaaa!)she ends up being unprofessional even to her profession leaving this guy with one euro on his pockets because guess what ? Women's ruleee! Like it was a toxic experience! Hopefully they don't make a second season !

At the beginning I was really interested on the vision that the series was going to take, it looked like it was going to explore masculinity and as they keep on saying all trough the episodes, end toxicity.

The main four characters are excellent, they are real people and they evolve, I was very excited to see that the series had both male and female writers, and a female director. Storylines were a bit lame but believable and all the set up is very good, camera photography,etc.

By the time you are half way you can start seeing the cracks on the story, and unfortunately these are all the female characters, there isn't a relatable or likeable one, they are selfish, vain and egocentric. From the crazy ex-wife, the controlling teenager, the idiotic influencer or the liberated lawyer, all of them use men as an accessory, there is no depth on their stories, they do not evolve, and at the end the series is just a huge letdown.

It was a great premise, but poorly executed. I was hoping for a fresh European take on the new gender roles, and ended up with a series where men are just the same stereotypes and women are completely shallow.
