O Faz Nada

I really enjoyed this series De Niro is amaizing, as newyorker narrating Buenos Aires culture, most of the series was in Spanish. The slang language and culture came through so beautifully authentic and genuine. The actors manage in an incredible way to make you feel, smell and desire. They archive to get us into the plot, making us happy, ridiculing us, loving us, hating us.

The verbiage used to describe the flavors were so poetic, epic and romantic . This was so well written. It's a deep simple story, like our lives themselves Luis Brandoni is definitely a very talented actor, as the rest of the team, this one is really really good!

To someone who is bilingual in Spanish and English this series was music to my ears. I really enjoyed De Niro lightly narrating in the beginning while most of the series was in Spanish. The Argentina language and culture came through so beautifully authentic and genuine. The verbiage used to describe the flavors were so poetic and romantic that it made the foodie in me, love food even more. This was so well written. It's a simple story yet had so much depth. I felt very connected with the character's passion and struggles. Luis Brandoni is definitely a very talented actor. I was really impressed with the acting. If you want a series that's easy to watch yet keeps you wanting to watch more, this one is really really good!

I had no idea what to expect when watching this short (5 episodes) series. The plot is unsurprising but solid, the acting is excellent, and the cinematography is superb. I have never been to Buenos Aires, but I honestly wonder whether the tourist board has contributed to the financing of this project, because now I want to go there.

Lots of luscious Argentinian food is shown and talked about. The characters are fun, and the conclusion is surprising but good. I strongly recommend watching this in Spanish, with subtitles if you don't speak Spanish (I don't) -- the music of the language is a big part of the charm.

What I appreciated the most is the tempo -- it's slow. I can't stand current movies with their dizzying action sequences and their seizure-inducing flashes and explosions. This is a series that takes its time to tell its story, and it tells it in a lovely and loving manner.

Something so simple and different but captivating and beautiful. If you are a person with an open heart you will have a very happy feeling of fulfillment while watching this mini-series with 2 master actors - Luis Brandoni & Robert De Niro! Mini-series starts "in medias res" and very fast you will be captivated with a strange but interesting "grandpa" figure which is not capable of taking care for himself without his maid. This life story is something else and different and doesn't contain that cliche scenes you often see in today's "fast screenplay" series which are result of a hyper production due to vast number of different streaming options. Most highly recommended!!!

When the subtle and the sophisticated are in balance, the result is this series, which far from being complex and inorganic, stands out for the precision in detail that makes it beautiful, fun and stripped. The dialogues are exquisite as well as the silences and Luis Brandoni is all that is good, he is the Anton Ego from Rio de la Plata. Robert de Niro's participation aims to give the product a certain status, do you need it? No; does it make sense? Yes. He highlighted the duo of the protagonist and the Paraguayan employee, a very real encounter of two worlds that take the best of each other. Real that I am hungry for more, there are few times that you see on the screen the combination of a good script, excellent performance, beautiful photography and art, good shots ... The combination of ALL this and more, makes NOTHING a work of art where the pretentious and the simple merge creating a microclimate of which you are part in the 31' that lasts each episode. Directors Duprat and Cohn are a duo that has already been giving us good substance, with a sharp style that I intuit aims to become a cult.
