Almost Happy

The show is not good enough to deserve a second season which will likely have. The script is poor, the acting is not top notch either, I watched it because I used to listen to the radio show "Metro y Medio" (Sebastian is a radio host and does stand up in real life). I dont think Natalie Perez(33) should have the role of Sebastian(46) ex wife Pilar, the age gap is notorious and I just couldnt picture them as a couple in the entire season but I have to say she does a correct job as an actress. There are some sparks of humor and I liked Sombrilla(Santiago Korovsky) who makes the show bearable with his appearances. This show reminds me in a bad way to Seinfeld (both do the same job in the show and real life) but It doesnt deliver a good product.

I really tried to like this but it was such an amateurish production, with a childish script, just did not happen. Perhaps it will have more success in Argentina since the humor and political commentary is most applicable to that country. Not a sitcom that translates well enough to have a lot of global appeal.

I enjoyed it very much. Sebastian is very creative. He shows all the weaknesses and strengths in his daily life as a live radio comedian. A third season is needed to continue with a good life history. We want Pablo Frabegas and Gabriel Schultz back, even Julieta Pink could appear. Thumbs up!!!!

Guiòn es excelente, las actuaciones también. Es una serie simple con matices de humor irònico. Espero ansiosa la segunda temporada.

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.
