Alpha Males

The four protagonists of the show continue to challenge traditional notions of masculinity in the second season, which manages to be even funnier than the first.

The writers skillfully maintain the depth and complexity of the multiple characters, including the return of the female characters from the previous season.

Themes such as non-traditional relationships, identity politics, workplace harassment, feminism, and patriarchy are explored with wit and humor, highlighting the absurdity of modern life. The show manages to entertain while also shedding light on important issues, allowing viewers to learn and laugh simultaneously. In doing so, the show demonstrates that those who are brave enough to learn about and understand different perspectives can gain a deeper understanding of the true meaning of love and peace. It is the brave who are able to find joy and appreciate the beauty of life!

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.

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.

The story follows the lives of four quirky male characters who all have their peculiarities that get them into trouble with the opposite sex.

The series is high-quality film making, with excellent visual storytelling. The performances are strong and the characterisations believable.

Great editing holds the series together along with good cinematography.

At times the dialogue was fast and reading the subtitles was challenging however, the storyline's were easy to follow.

We enjoyed the use of comedy to explore an important social issue, affecting heterosexual relationships.

Overall the series provided a few laughs.

... 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"
