Okupas

What a gem.

The series addresses several themes, from the housing problem, passing through the youth's lack of perspective on life, to the chronic violence that comes from the brutal inequality typical of Latin American societies.

Without ever falling into moralism, far from trying to teach the public hypocritical lessons, it manages to amuse and entertain with a compelling story that have moments of comedy, action, suspense and a bit of drama.

With the remastering and release by netflix in 2021, I was finally able to watch the 11 episodes of this magnificent series, being able to understand the status it conserved through the years.

Watch it!

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.

This story takes place in an Argentina economical crisis, and these 4 guys, living in a house that is not theirs, have to face not only the police, but other gangs who want to take "their" house. And even though they are not saints, they will win your hearts, you will definitely love them.

I believe this is not just a story about the harsh reality or how many obstacles these people have to face, but a story about friendship.

Esta historia transcurre en un momento de una gran crisis económica en Argentina. Y estos 4 amigos, que viven en una casa que no les pertenece, deben enfrentar a la policía y a otros bandas que quieren ocupar "su" casa. Si bien ellos no son ningunos santos, logran ganarse tu corazón.

Creo que esta serie no trata simplemente la cruda realidad de este grupo de chicos, ni los obstáculos que deben enfrentar, sino más bien es una historia de amistad.

The series is really short so give it a try, you would be on the last episode without realizing. Great acting, characters development, directing. Everything was on point.

I must say I´m a little conflicted by the ending, it finished a little bit open in my opinion, I mean it´s really probable some people would say "oh that was good, where´s the second season?". It hasn´t got another one so and it doesn´t need it. But at least they should have added 10 minutes more for a definitve closure.

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.
