Okupas

In the year 2000 this gang of 4 friends, taking drugs, making some robery.

This is about friendship and be an underdog in Buenos Aires Argentina being poor.

This a well made product. And in USA says "..you talk the talk..speak slang..." It's a cult serie. Don't missed.

I'm from Argentina myself and I can say this series is one of the best ones this country has ever shot. It depicts a 2000/2001 crisis we were living through and how ordinary people had to struggle with life evey single day.

Every character is unique and you have no choice but to end up loving or hating them. Not only the four MC are cool, but also the antagonists and even their pet, a lovely and really intelligent dog, are amazing!

You know, due to Copyright issues, there was no official DVD released ever. However, it's still popular nowadays and views keep going up!!!

You can only watch it on Youtube or download it illegally around, and I think no subtitles exist. (If I happen to see people asking for it, I'll sub every episode on my own)

Okupas is one of those shows which show up every 50 years. So it's a must to watch it!

If you want the subtitiles, just mark my review as helpful and once I see enough clicks on YES, I'll start working into it!

everything is excellent in this serie, if you have the chance you cannot miss it. 4 young man with different backgrounds merge in the same house and have to face new experiences living in a stolen house, being prosecuted by the police and other gangs. The serie consists of 11 episodes.

In such a crude and realistic way, it portrays the experience of young people without financial support who live on questionable acts to gain resources. In short, a shocking drama with some overtones of social horror and suspense on a fairly well calibrated level. The best Argentine series.

I´M a movie director myself and I only can say this is the kind of story I would like to shot someday. There´s no middle term, you love it or you hate it, but reality is always there. When I see "Okupas", I´m seeing that someone is talking of something that lived in own flesh, was on that places, connected with that kind of people, and mixed with a sense of fiction and caracthers construction ends up in a total identification; you´re no longer an espectator you just live and experience from inside. Some people saw "Okupas" as a show of crime, an allegory of dope using, and lower class habits and ways of life, and said that they prefered to watch the 8 o´clock news to see what´s wrong with the country. To others there´s nothing better to deeply know about it without discriminate and then start a social change and a work of unification for a most acceptable kind of living... If you liked "Okupas", I can also recommend you: "Pizza, Birra, Faso"

(Pizza, Beer, Cigarrettes- Stagnaro), "Tumberos" (Adrián Caetano), "Un

Oso Rojo" (A Red Bear, Caetano), and "El Bonaerense" (Pablo Trapero).
