Il Boss del condominio

I was expecting quality stuff, but not at this level. It literally surpassed all (my) expectations:

• Plot
• Cast
• Music
• Comedy level

I've enjoyed Only Murders in the Building but never got super addicted to it. With this one, instead, I couldn't stop watching. Guillermo Franchella is an outstanding actor. He was part of the cast of the Oscar-winning The Secret in Their Eyes. The director makes an incredible job with not only the shooting but also with keeping the pace of every episode. The constant mini-ost helps a lot in this regard, engaging every thought, look, action, and drama...it´s just gold.

Do yourself a favor and watch this. It's worth it.

Guillermo Francella is an excellent actor both as a comedian and in drama. He has done other works such as "The secret in her eyes", along with Ricardo Darín, which is a drama about a dark period in the Argentinian political and social turmoil in the 70s and 80s. Also the very enjoyable "My masterpiece" along with Luis Brandoni, and many more works.

This story describes a very narcissistic man and, in my opinion, a classic psychopath. He is absolutely wicked. Everything he does is for his own benefit.

At the same time, we get to know the residents of the building. Some are very bad, but none reach the level of wickedness of this character. It is very funny and also a great study of personalities done in a very pleasant and entertaining way.

The quality of Francella was already a guarantee, but without a doubt, he manages to revalidate his reputation. Although sometimes the series could be somewhat predictable, the visual narrative and the scene-to-scene changes are phenomenal in keeping the viewer engaged. As viewers, we also suffer from a dual personality in that for brief moments we empathize with the protagonist since we see everything from his perspective, but at the same time, there is always that rejection of his behavior present in us. The first 3 minutes of the first episode of the first season and the last 3 minutes of the last episode of the second season best describe the series and its character. Congratulations to the cast.

Im not a big fan of Argentinian cinema in general (including tv shows). But I have to admit that I was hooked from the beginning of the first episode! Francella never disappoints as an actor and in this case he portrays the character of Eliseo perfectly! Apart from Francella, its perfectly casted. Great actors everywhere. The script is complex and it's very interesting how while watching the show you see the details of everything play out. It's a great balance of comedy/drama/mistery. It makes you go from love to hate (and back again) in one episode! Although it's so trapping, it's easy to watch, light and funny. Actually makes me reconsider my inicial opinion about Argentinian shows and movies. I can't wait for season 4. 100% recommended. MUST WATCH.

This is a lot of fun and a great idea that I'm sure will be redone for the American audience. The sometimes sinister, sometimes macabre, and always Machiavellian machinations of Eliseo, the thirty-year concierge of a posh high-rise tower who is about to be tossed out in order to make room and money for a roof-top swimming pool for the residents.

Eliseo is the obvious underdog and the guy we are rooting for as he scrambles undercover to sway residents against the vote for the pool project. But Eliseo's methods and tactics become increasingly evil. He proves again and again that he's a fantastic doorman and a jack of all trades, but his real talent is in deception and intrigue to the point that I half-expect in the final episode to have a CIA representative meet with him and recruit the handyman for service in the spy world.

Although I rate this series at Ten Stars, it could have been much better, funnier, and with better writing, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it thus far (eight episodes).
