Nada

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 am not a fan of "Curb your exuberance" . In fact I despise it. But this Argentinian show is very engrossing.

The scenery makes Buenos Aires feel like Paris of the seventies. Brandini, as a food critic who cannot get the motivation to finish a book he has received an advance on, is brilliant. DeNiro has cameo roles explaining, in English, some cultural terms. He does it in a simple, face to camera style. Lovely.

The acting is convincing and has a scent of Aldomavar about it. Like Bon-Bon El Perro. Gentle pace. Realistic feel.

The idea that over forty years, the house keeper had created a manual of cooking, cleaning and recipes was so sweet. The deceased voice reads the contents as Brandini tries to follow.

I found this series so curious I kept watching, no idea of where it was headed. Then before I knew it, I was swept into another world with people I cared about.

It ended too soon. I wanted more. Wanted to stay with their company. The lead actor and actress are superb. I loved the food attention. And the foreign setting and customs.

The series is quiet. You lean forward into it to not miss a trick. The main character is so attractive while being innocently cranky. Yes he's preposterous, but completely real and reasonable, to himself. And so to us.

I was completely charmed by De Niro. Never have seen him so honest.

Bravo. More please.

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!!!

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.
