Old Dog, New Tricks

This is peak comedy or something you'll fondly remember for a long time. It is, however, a short show that manages to deliver what t promises. A crusty and jaded old vet getting a job at modern, corporate vet office. Cue conflict between old school vet and younger pet owners. Pets with anxiety, dog who lifts wrong leg when peeing..... There are some background stories that pretty much play the same notes.

It's a fine enough series to watch over couple of days. Enough laughs and funny plots to keep you going even if you need to suspend your disbelief from time to time.

I love the brilliant Luis Zahera in everything so that alone was enough for me to check out this series about a down-on-his-luck rural Vet who is forced to work as the resident Vet in his young niece's large pet store.

His disdain for the corporate hard-sell of ridiculous products in the store and the stupidity of some of the pet owners is really funny. His love of animals shines through and his relationship with a local bar owner is well played.

With its quirky soundtrack, the series is a funny and pleasant watch with the brilliant Luis Zahera just perfect in this role.

It will take me a long time to get over the fact that there will probably be no season 2 of this show. I laughed to tears. The plot may seem like nothing new and a bit ordinary, but with the blend of Spanish humor it is taken to another level. I simply lived Luis Zahera's performance. Big thumbs up to everyone who worked on the show.

Another great Spanish production: It has what many productions are lacking nowadays: it is a great piece of entertainment!

The main character, Antón (superbly performed by Mr Zahera), is a very down-to-Earth, kind of guy; maybe because Antón was born and educated in the last century. His "no-patience-for-stupidity" personality is what makes the show funny and real. The pace of the movie is dynamic, what makes an enjoyable experience. All the other aspects of the production are great. Starting with the acting, great actors and performances! The other aspects of the production are particularly good and well designed: Direction, set decorations, costumes, locations.

Most important displays a critical eye on our contemporaneous society in this crazy politically correct and post pandemic world. Congratulations to all the team!

A relaxing and very...humane film. Animals are our mirrors.

The series has a reasonable length, you don't get bored.

The humor is quality. The actor in the title role is great. If they don't manage a season 2 as good, the filmmakers can leave the series here, they did their job.

I've seen series by Galician studios, ALL were above average.
