In a world full of gigantic fight against the end of the world (because all superheroes save the world) or terrible views of hideous superheroes that hide a villain under the mask. We finally find an everyday man, with an everyday life in an everyday neighbourhood. It entertains without cause anxiety and it the yoga of superheroic series

The show had good performances all around from the leads to the supporting room mate roles. It feels like a show that would fit right in at in the vain of a Fox show such as Brooklyn Nine Nine or The Last Man on Earth. It is an easy watch at about 30 minutes per episode with nothing too serious and some decent special effects and decent acting. I'm not sure what these other people are expecting with their low reviews. I'm glad to see a non-American made show on Netflix with a focus on fun instead of a focus on superheroes (probably where some of the negative reviews come from). I enjoyed the season as did my wife and we hope to see a second season.

My first ever Spanish series is this comic book adaptation and suburban superheroic sitcom. Glorious fun with a deeply endearing cast and charismatically unpretentious. A fair amount of it is quite clunky and awkward but it works with it and there are some magnificent moments dotted throughout. Sad that we'll not see more of it - but a cute and diverting series and a characterful introduction to the world of Spanish TV. Also, I've never related more to a character than José Pamón. He is my king.

If you're looking for a superhero series, this isn't for you. This is based on a small group of people living mostly next door to each other and one of them just happens to have super powers. The rest of the story comes from their interactions. This series is about real human beings, so if you're after something else, go elsewhere.
The series deserves a lot of praise for attacking a parasitical industry in modern Spain: the now ubiquitous neighborhood casinos. They have truly become a plague in the country and amount to a heavy tax on the underclass.
The short episode format is a definite plus as so many series on Spanish TV run way too long (as well as every other country these days). I'm so sick of two hour movies that shouldn't even run 90 minutes. 23 minutes isn't much of a time commitment.
It's billed as a comedy and it is very funny at times. To be exact, it's funny in every scene in which Camello appears (or Litos "Soy Litos, solo mi madre me llama Carlos"). He is the marijuana dealer for the apartment block and he is freaking hilarious. He has brought to life a new archetype of the Spanish stoner. He's so much funnier than Sean Penn's Spicoli or Keanu Reeves's forays into playing druggies.
It's a simple idea and an even simpler execution. The budget for this was probably twenty thousand times less than any series on Netflix. The only places where the low budget is problematic are in the special effects scenes which are so awful that they should have just left them out altogether. Lots of shows have great special effects and they are complete rubbish. This show has real people which I don't se very often on TV.
If the writers of this show are reading this, humor isn't about awkward situations. Most of the attempts at "humor" in this show are I Love Lucy crap from the 1950s.
Even though I gave this 10 stars and said some good things about the series, my review hasn't been well received, so it's time to take the gloves off (I also lowered my rating, for F you all). There were a million ways this series could have gone, yet they chose the most tedious path imaginable. Without the humor of Camello, this would have been a total disaster. Unfortunately, he plays a minor role. The two principals are annoying, at best.

Saw the trailer and gave it a go, but was not expecting too much, because of the low budget production that becomes evident after seeing the trailer.
It turns out that the show is very very good. I ended up watching the 5 first episodes in a row.
The acting is very good (mainly from the main character), and the simplicity of the environment along with the writing is excellent.
Very refreshing show within a story that is not new (a normal guy that ends up with powers), which makes even more relevant the great writing here.
I genuinely laugh a lot, which is something very hard to find (at least for me) on most of the comedy shows from last years ( and some with high budgets).

We've seen a lot of superheroe movies and series. This serie can provide us with dome entertainment time but this does not occur in most scenes. The principal character is way to stupid. The only thing positive about this is as allways Clara Lago. Great and wonderfull actress

Why did you have to transform the characters into dumb, silly, imbeciles in the 2nd season, really childish writing! The whole Lola Julia twist is ridiculous and unnecessary! Neta, que lastima que lo echaron a perder! Me encanto when Javier imitated us Mexicans, it was funny a gem of a piece! As another comment stated, lost potential!!!

The first season of El Vecino is very light, breezy comedy largely focused on establishing characters and relationships. All is well for undemanding but amusing sitcom style entertainment. The second season Netflix strikes! Suddenly the normal heterosexual relationships are forced aside in favor of Woke gay propaganda. Netflix is particularly obsessed with lesbians and thus the two lead women are forced into an inorganic relationship that the first season never suggested. The breaking of relationships and focus on radical left propaganda poisons the series, destroying the comedy.
Spanish culture is unique; it is the worst kind of colonialism to force American Woke idiocies upon them. Netflix is bullying creators to the detriment of the end product.

Love this show, dry humour, cringe worthy. Makes you want to watch more. As mentioned compact episodes executed very well.
Don't mind the rating give it a view.

The tv series started all good at first 2 episodes with a good promising scenario then ended up grinding and repetitive with just a very few times had a small grin on my face with some average scenes. Wasted potential on what could have been a great series

It's a refreshing twist on the superhero trope. It's very funny and well written, even translation (probably even funnier in Spanish) and well acted.

"El Vecino" is really very entertaining, has a very good sense of humor, is well acted and written. Without a doubt you will find in it an extremely naive, simple humor, ideal for having a good time. I understand that this is what is proposed and it is really accomplished.

This is a show which made no impression on me whatsoever. It answers the question of what if a person who completely did not deserve it got superpowers. This question has been answered in much more entertaining ways in other media. It might only be interesting because it gives a glimpse into what daily life is like in Spain. But if this is the typical TV show from Spain, it is easy to imagine why their television has not captured the imagination of the world. It's boring, mundane and never even remotely funny. I made it all the way through the first season, but was unable to make it past the first couple of episodes of the second.

... I'm loving it. I guess the cynics out there will find a thousand problems with this series, but honestly it's simple, good fun. Great choice of soundtrack, fantastic blend of superhero stuff with real elements of Spanish everyday life. I hope it keeps it up !
