O Faz Nada

To someone who is bilingual in Spanish and English this series was music to my ears. I really enjoyed De Niro lightly narrating in the beginning while most of the series was in Spanish. The Argentina language and culture came through so beautifully authentic and genuine. The verbiage used to describe the flavors were so poetic and romantic that it made the foodie in me, love food even more. This was so well written. It's a simple story yet had so much depth. I felt very connected with the character's passion and struggles. Luis Brandoni is definitely a very talented actor. I was really impressed with the acting. If you want a series that's easy to watch yet keeps you wanting to watch more, this one is really really good!

NADA is an absolute masterpiece in its own right. It dares to challenge the conventional by offering something so brilliantly subtle, yet profound. It's not about overwhelming you with excessive features or flamboyance; it's about appreciating the beauty in what isn't there. The experience of NADA leaves you with a deeper sense of clarity, as if you're finally free from the clutter of modern distractions.

In a world of excess, NADA stands tall as a refreshing reminder that sometimes, less truly is more. Perfect for those who seek meaning beyond the noise. Highly recommend for minimalism enthusiasts and anyone needing a break from the chaos.

I started out hating this tale of an old gentry-class creep looking for a new servant to wipe his behind. How about doing your own housework? Ugh, Latin America is the land of masters and servants. Most households with even a middle class income have some other human being at their disposal to do housework. This servant class is highly abused from what I have seen first-hand and read about.

The guy's long-time servant croaks and the first thing that occurs to him is that he needs someone to wait on him hand and foot like else his former doormat.

I held on and became charmed, if not by the protagonist, then by the city and language of Buenos Aires. I enjoyed the language lessons as there is so much new for someone living in Spain. The accent is sort of cool, and the vos familiar pronoun form is something we don't use here.

The weakest link in this is Robert De Niro. Between his pigeon Italian and Manuel's zero command of English, their conversations were just silly and stupid. De Niro just seemed to be phoning it in. If he were left out, this would have been 9 for me.

Something so simple and different but captivating and beautiful. If you are a person with an open heart you will have a very happy feeling of fulfillment while watching this mini-series with 2 master actors - Luis Brandoni & Robert De Niro! Mini-series starts "in medias res" and very fast you will be captivated with a strange but interesting "grandpa" figure which is not capable of taking care for himself without his maid. This life story is something else and different and doesn't contain that cliche scenes you often see in today's "fast screenplay" series which are result of a hyper production due to vast number of different streaming options. Most highly recommended!!!

I found this series so curious I kept watching, no idea of where it was headed. Then before I knew it, I was swept into another world with people I cared about.

It ended too soon. I wanted more. Wanted to stay with their company. The lead actor and actress are superb. I loved the food attention. And the foreign setting and customs.

The series is quiet. You lean forward into it to not miss a trick. The main character is so attractive while being innocently cranky. Yes he's preposterous, but completely real and reasonable, to himself. And so to us.

I was completely charmed by De Niro. Never have seen him so honest.

Bravo. More please.
