Puerta 7

Unique story line. Spot on. Rarely do the fans get a chance to see the challenges of running a soccer club. Rarely do owners get to see that they are not alone in these challenges. Puerta 7 is not a repeat of the same old story. And while it is fiction, it is not far from the truth. Lomito's character runs parallel to one already experienced. Others are just as close. And the situation is more usual than the general fans would know.

Hopefully the series will continue and the realities will be exposed. The acting is not perfect because the real-life characters are not perfect. Bravo. Let's pray there will be more. A contested election and what happens will be very spicy. Add in the interests of the federation and the national sports board for realism, and take it up that notch.

Go for it! Forza Puer7a

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.

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.

Anyone who is familiar with football in some countries knows that what this series tells is real Unfortunately bad acting and plot.

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