Heureux... ou presque

Wainrach basically plays himself but changes his name in this really subtle comedy series from Argentina. I might be misremembering but the kids who play his kids might actually be his or they're in the series but it seems to be based on his real life even down to the football team he supports.

It's very funny in a very understated way, the type of comedy and character that a Jack Dee or a Ricky Gervais would play and if Netflix did an English language version of the show starring either of those comedy actors then it would work wonderfully well.

Wainrach pays tribute to his barrio, his Jewish faith and to the great city of Buenos Aires which he obviously loves. Such a good show and one I feel a lot of British audiences could relate to. If you have come across this and want to watch a really decent comedy with depth but you are bothered about subtitles then - just give it a go, you might be pleasantly surpirsed.

Everything that can go wrong goes wrong. That's the premise of the series. It's cringe comedy with a heart. I really enjoyed it.

The show is not good enough to deserve a second season which will likely have. The script is poor, the acting is not top notch either, I watched it because I used to listen to the radio show "Metro y Medio" (Sebastian is a radio host and does stand up in real life). I dont think Natalie Perez(33) should have the role of Sebastian(46) ex wife Pilar, the age gap is notorious and I just couldnt picture them as a couple in the entire season but I have to say she does a correct job as an actress. There are some sparks of humor and I liked Sombrilla(Santiago Korovsky) who makes the show bearable with his appearances. This show reminds me in a bad way to Seinfeld (both do the same job in the show and real life) but It doesnt deliver a good product.

Into modern urban life in the city of Buenos Aires, where a rich mixture of ethnicities has yielded a thriving culture of the most varied range. The rather self-deprecating humor in the series, given its autochthonous nature, may go lost on international audiences but it might still be worth a watch.

Guiòn es excelente, las actuaciones también. Es una serie simple con matices de humor irònico. Espero ansiosa la segunda temporada.
