Alpha Males

Four alpha males trying to find their place and reinvent their selves in the time of empowering woman. Sarcastic, ironic, iconic! And so much fun!

I was looking for a comedy and this Spanish production made it for me.

The acting was great, the plots are surprisingly funny and the production was really well done.

Also you can take a great look at the city of Madrid through the series as they saw it to you as beautiful as it can be.

The idea of talking about how males have to evolve to give women the place in society that they deserve, one of the greatest issues that we are concerned about, makes the whole series essential for one to make up your mind in a lot of things that couldn't even imagined.

Looking forward to watch the second season right away.

Real life is never like comedy and rightfully so. For comedy to work you have to exaggerate things and characters to a certain level. Look back at all the comedies you have seen, none of the characters are "real". Forest Gump is not real, nor realistic. The same is valid for the "Machos Alfa". They are vessels to carry the story and link the comic events in a cohesive story.

It's true that comic side of "male-hood" is on display here. But that is not a surprise.. the title is not Alfa Women & Men.. or the story of modern couples.. it's not "Coupling" (brilliant British comic series about relationships).. it's about Alfa Matchos and the comic side of that social farce. It's also a valid mirror of all the feministic blind alleys.. if you are able to see it. But the feminism is not on display here.. it's modern patriarchy.

I know this might come shocking as a comparison, but this series is by far the funniest one I've seen since Friends. It tackles relevant issues - gender identity, social culture, couple dynamics, you name it - with humour and a well balanced POV as it manages to present all these topics in a raw and relatable manner. It's definitely worth a watch if you are into light-hearted comedies that are rich in life content and manage to get through important messages in between the laughs and smirks. We are all human, we all struggle to identify who we are, how we should behave, and, more importantly, when to sit back and stop taking yourself too seriously.

The second season is just as good, if not better than the first, so I can't wait for the next season. Give it a chance - I've binge watched it with my hubby, and we couldn't put it to rest. It's a satire, it doesn't hold back, and that's the beauty of it. Enough with lukewarm dialogues, this one is fun and honest to express all kinds of opinions: enjoy the ridicule of some of the situations and get a chance to reflect.

... it's clever-dialogue throughout all ten-consistently-well-done-episodes ... all the characters-actors are engaging-talented ... production-values on-par-better than much-other-European-programming... it really is hoped they bring it back returning it for at minimum another season

... Ishita Chatterjee in her review at Midguard Times has it right: "The series is a tale of four men learning what their specific blind spots are regarding how they view women and working to make positive changes that will make their lives better. As for the comedy, it works well and takes on an absurdist tone in certain situations like the "vibrator" incident at school. And this makes the show more comical. Overall, [I'd] give this show a try if you want to enjoy a good dose of comedy that will tickle your senses and brain. 7/10"

The story follows the lives of four quirky male characters who all have their peculiarities that get them into trouble with the opposite sex.

The series is high-quality film making, with excellent visual storytelling. The performances are strong and the characterisations believable.

Great editing holds the series together along with good cinematography.

At times the dialogue was fast and reading the subtitles was challenging however, the storyline's were easy to follow.

We enjoyed the use of comedy to explore an important social issue, affecting heterosexual relationships.

Overall the series provided a few laughs.
