Machos Alfa

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.

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.

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!

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 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.
