Casi Feliz

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.
