The Boss

This is the best show from South-America I've come across. It's a dark comedy with decent script and acting. It's not like other comedies from there, it's not insane and over the top - it's actually pretty sophisticated.

There were some moments when the characters acted in a way that was unbelievable but other than that there's not much to criticize. The ending was a bit weird, I mean the amount of money they were willing to spend for...but I don't wanna spoil anything.

Over all a good series. Even the music was fitting and the sounds were balanced. I sure hope they'll get to make season 2 for this.

This series took me completely by surprise & is undoubtedly going to remain a firm favourite. The lead actor provides a virtuoso performance of a man in confident control of his own little world & the characters in it. Seducing the audience into enjoying his self-serving nastiness & manipulation. The definition of a lovable rogue.

The atmosphere of the smart apartment block feels perfect & the delicate balance of scene music & natural ambient sounds completes your engagement.

A superb cast make this clever, winding tale of plots & problems, class distinctions & everyday survival, a memorable must see.

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).

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.

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.
