Alpha Males

Four alpha males trying to find their place and reinvent their selves in the time of empowering woman. Sarcastic, ironic, iconic! And so much fun!

I was looking for a comedy and this Spanish production made it for me.

The acting was great, the plots are surprisingly funny and the production was really well done.

Also you can take a great look at the city of Madrid through the series as they saw it to you as beautiful as it can be.

The idea of talking about how males have to evolve to give women the place in society that they deserve, one of the greatest issues that we are concerned about, makes the whole series essential for one to make up your mind in a lot of things that couldn't even imagined.

Looking forward to watch the second season right away.

Real life is never like comedy and rightfully so. For comedy to work you have to exaggerate things and characters to a certain level. Look back at all the comedies you have seen, none of the characters are "real". Forest Gump is not real, nor realistic. The same is valid for the "Machos Alfa". They are vessels to carry the story and link the comic events in a cohesive story.

It's true that comic side of "male-hood" is on display here. But that is not a surprise.. the title is not Alfa Women & Men.. or the story of modern couples.. it's not "Coupling" (brilliant British comic series about relationships).. it's about Alfa Matchos and the comic side of that social farce. It's also a valid mirror of all the feministic blind alleys.. if you are able to see it. But the feminism is not on display here.. it's modern patriarchy.

Well, what can I say? This has been a pleasant surprise.

In a world in evolution four male friends are facing changes in the society that effects their own lives...

"Machos Alfa" approaches with irony topics that are serious and full of complexities. The result is a very enjoyable comedy in 10 episodes (but a second season has been confirmed) that is well written and supported by a cast that is just perfect.

I noticed that most of the very negatives comments are from men, and I am afraid that's because this series touches some 'exposed nerves' from little insecure and weak males. That level of nasty vitriol against the feminist movement seems to confirm that the show has hit the target. Well done.

Personally, I'm looking forward to season two.

It is a funny comment on the situations of couples and romantic/sexual dynamics when men think they are "alpha males", but don't even know the origen of the concept.

Its main characters are the men but they are not the ones calling the shots, which is refreshing; still feels like third wave feminism, but good effort on including a guy constantly calling out on sexist behaviors, they chose to make him annoying, but still...at least it was there.

Overall is funny, entertaining and has a lot of subtext; it is not perfect, but opens the door to the discussion of the toxicity of patriarcal society on men and women.

... it's clever-dialogue throughout all ten-consistently-well-done-episodes ... all the characters-actors are engaging-talented ... production-values on-par-better than much-other-European-programming... it really is hoped they bring it back returning it for at minimum another season

... Ishita Chatterjee in her review at Midguard Times has it right: "The series is a tale of four men learning what their specific blind spots are regarding how they view women and working to make positive changes that will make their lives better. As for the comedy, it works well and takes on an absurdist tone in certain situations like the "vibrator" incident at school. And this makes the show more comical. Overall, [I'd] give this show a try if you want to enjoy a good dose of comedy that will tickle your senses and brain. 7/10"
