Okupas

everything is excellent in this serie, if you have the chance you cannot miss it. 4 young man with different backgrounds merge in the same house and have to face new experiences living in a stolen house, being prosecuted by the police and other gangs. The serie consists of 11 episodes.

I'm from Argentina myself and I can say this series is one of the best ones this country has ever shot. It depicts a 2000/2001 crisis we were living through and how ordinary people had to struggle with life evey single day.

Every character is unique and you have no choice but to end up loving or hating them. Not only the four MC are cool, but also the antagonists and even their pet, a lovely and really intelligent dog, are amazing!

You know, due to Copyright issues, there was no official DVD released ever. However, it's still popular nowadays and views keep going up!!!

You can only watch it on Youtube or download it illegally around, and I think no subtitles exist. (If I happen to see people asking for it, I'll sub every episode on my own)

Okupas is one of those shows which show up every 50 years. So it's a must to watch it!

If you want the subtitiles, just mark my review as helpful and once I see enough clicks on YES, I'll start working into it!

Ricardo (Rodrigo de la Serna) has let everyone down all his life, after dropping out of medical school, his cousin Clara has entrusted him in looking after an old apartment that is part of the family 'no quilombos' she orders but does Ricardo listen? When has he ever so the drama begins.

He doesn't want to live alone so brings his old school friend along 'Negro Pablo' who is a lot more streetwise than Ricardo along the way, they bring in rolinga Walter and Chiqui along to keep each other company. There doesn't seem to be a calming influence amongst the four as they get into one scrape to another with Ricardo getting far too out of his depth with the seedy underworld of Buenos Aires.

I watched the whole series in Peru where it was on Netflix, excellent acting and a great storyline, well worth a watch indeed.

The series is really short so give it a try, you would be on the last episode without realizing. Great acting, characters development, directing. Everything was on point.

I must say I´m a little conflicted by the ending, it finished a little bit open in my opinion, I mean it´s really probable some people would say "oh that was good, where´s the second season?". It hasn´t got another one so and it doesn´t need it. But at least they should have added 10 minutes more for a definitve closure.

In such a crude and realistic way, it portrays the experience of young people without financial support who live on questionable acts to gain resources. In short, a shocking drama with some overtones of social horror and suspense on a fairly well calibrated level. The best Argentine series.
