    Great series!

    Im not a big fan of Argentinian cinema in general (including tv shows). But I have to admit that I was hooked from the beginning of the first episode! Francella never disappoints as an actor and in this case he portrays the character of Eliseo perfectly! Apart from Francella, its perfectly casted. Great actors everywhere. The script is complex and it's very interesting how while watching the show you see the details of everything play out. It's a great balance of comedy/drama/mistery. It makes you go from love to hate (and back again) in one episode! Although it's so trapping, it's easy to watch, light and funny. Actually makes me reconsider my inicial opinion about Argentinian shows and movies. I can't wait for season 4. 100% recommended. MUST WATCH.

    A smart, funny and very well acted black comedy of human miseries

    I was expecting quality stuff, but not at this level. It literally surpassed all (my) expectations:

    • Plot
    • Cast
    • Music
    • Comedy level


    I've enjoyed Only Murders in the Building but never got super addicted to it. With this one, instead, I couldn't stop watching. Guillermo Franchella is an outstanding actor. He was part of the cast of the Oscar-winning The Secret in Their Eyes. The director makes an incredible job with not only the shooting but also with keeping the pace of every episode. The constant mini-ost helps a lot in this regard, engaging every thought, look, action, and drama...it´s just gold.

    Do yourself a favor and watch this. It's worth it.

    An absolute gem! Wickedly funny & superbly acted tale of manipulation & deceipt. A must-see Classic

    This series took me completely by surprise & is undoubtedly going to remain a firm favourite. The lead actor provides a virtuoso performance of a man in confident control of his own little world & the characters in it. Seducing the audience into enjoying his self-serving nastiness & manipulation. The definition of a lovable rogue.

    The atmosphere of the smart apartment block feels perfect & the delicate balance of scene music & natural ambient sounds completes your engagement.

    A superb cast make this clever, winding tale of plots & problems, class distinctions & everyday survival, a memorable must see.

    Actually pretty good

    This is the best show from South-America I've come across. It's a dark comedy with decent script and acting. It's not like other comedies from there, it's not insane and over the top - it's actually pretty sophisticated.

    There were some moments when the characters acted in a way that was unbelievable but other than that there's not much to criticize. The ending was a bit weird, I mean the amount of money they were willing to spend for...but I don't wanna spoil anything.

    Over all a good series. Even the music was fitting and the sounds were balanced. I sure hope they'll get to make season 2 for this.

    Wow, what a surprise...

    I didn't even knew about this series but saw a somewhat high rating and gave it a try.

    Honestly the production quality is superb, everything looks good, feels properly placed, the colors, camera angle and placement, music, etc.

    I thought it was a bit slow at the start but decided to watch a second episode to see if the script was on par... that same day ended up watching 2 whole seasons, just keeps getting better.

    It's also not very predictable, wich is a big deal since i watched too much of these series to often predict the outcome, i was thankfully mistaken on many occasions.

    I won't go into details to keep the review spoiler free but if you're into suspense, manipulation and fake morals give it a try.
