Apache: La vida de Carlos Tevez

I am not very knowledgeable about soccer and had actually never heard of Carlos Tevez before I watched the series, but really enjoyed it. Portrays Telez' struggle to survive and succeed amidst the poverty, drugs and violence in the Fuerte Apache district of Buenos Aires. As someone familiar with Mexican Spanish, the language used in this series was full of colorful idioms and difficult to understand, but it fit the characters and setting. Great biographical story of family and community and soccer, although not that much soccer. One thing I didn't like: they kept repeating the same pan-shot of the Fuerte Apache about ten times each episode. Otherwise, yes this series has flaws but still highly recommend it.

Let me start by saying, I am Italian, I was born not far from the San Paolo Stadium in Napoli, where my greatest player of all time played...Diego Armando Maradona but I am the biggest Juventus Fan and I loved when Carlos Tévez joined us....I absolutely love him as a player.

So when I read an article about (Apache: La vida de Carlos Tevez). I could not wait to sit down and watch the grim rise of Carlos from Fuerte Apache, one of Buenos Aires's most dangerous, drug fueled neighborhoods. And Carlos through almost naive understanding of his surroundings, somehow managed to stay away from stray bullets, drugs and crime. He followed his passion to play football.

The performances are mesmerizing none more than from Balthazar Murillo, what a find, at times looking at both Carlo and Balthazar there are a lot similarities........

A pleasure to watch and learn how these famous playera struggled in life on daily basis without looking back and further achieve there goals !!!

It is a interesting story, that has a couple of needles final 2 chapters where the story becomes a bit of a caricature.

Even if you are not a soccer fan, you can watch it. I myself am not a huge fan of Carlos Tevez, and I was a sceptic before starting this show. Oh, my! The action keeps going, the show keeps you glued to the screen. And the chain of events is great, not too fast, not too slow. I would say the best part of the show is cinematography- the shabby buildings and clothes, poverty, gangs, they all depict the terrible conditions of poor hoods in S.America. The main actors did a great job here, too. A masterpiece, give it a try.
