Puerta 7

The idea of the movie is good, just need more action.

Get rid of them subtitles. Listen in Spanish. Dialogue's good 'n' punchy, and If you like football and intrigue this one's definitely for you. Lots more violence than normal for Latin Teleseries, so not for Mum. Storyline's not terribly great, but this one's not badly paced over just 8 episodes, with a large body-count - and producers that REALLY say it like it is!! Don Hector, the soccer hooligan-cum-mafia boss, played by Carlos Bellosi has such screen presence that the hapless Dolores Fonzi , cast as Security-Chief Diana is plain usurped. Hector's a bit like the male counterpart of Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones. Difficult to take eyes off, but for ALL the wrong reasons. You'll love and loathe him. Lo recomendo.

Often a challenge of trying to familiarise yourself with Spanish through Netflix is the dearth of watchable shows available, particularly for Argentina. Thankfully Puerta 7 is gripping in its own right thanks to the casting and compelling subject matter. The nature of football hooliganism and its political impact in Argentine culture is explored through entertaining and earnest characters, being a drama it is of course at times embellished but the themes it explores are largely relevant and present in Argentina. Thankfully the writing allows plenty of room for a strong storyline in any potential further seasons, I'd love to see an original Argentine drama given a chance on Netflix after Edha flopped.

The main character, Lomito, is a terrible actor. What a waste. Where are the good old actors from Argentina?

A refreshing change to the typical South American series. Don't expect an Argentinian version of 'Green Street,' as you will be disappointed. The focus of this series is the culture , corruption, politics and criminality surrounding a fictitious football club in the suburbs and the lives of the people who run it. Although it is a slow burner at times, there is enough drama to keep the viewer entertained. I was hooked , a great watch!!

Es un gran cambio a las típicas series de Suramérica. No esperes una versión argentina de la película inglesa 'Green Street, 'ya que te decepcionarás. El enfoque de esta serie es la corrupción, la política y la delincuencia alrededor de un club de fútbol ficticio y las vidas de los personajes que lo administran. Aunque sea un poco lento, a veces hay suficiente drama que entretiene al espectador. Me ha encantado. Lo recomiendo a ojos cerrados.
