I had no idea what to expect when watching this short (5 episodes) series. The plot is unsurprising but solid, the acting is excellent, and the cinematography is superb. I have never been to Buenos Aires, but I honestly wonder whether the tourist board has contributed to the financing of this project, because now I want to go there.
Lots of luscious Argentinian food is shown and talked about. The characters are fun, and the conclusion is surprising but good. I strongly recommend watching this in Spanish, with subtitles if you don't speak Spanish (I don't) -- the music of the language is a big part of the charm.
What I appreciated the most is the tempo -- it's slow. I can't stand current movies with their dizzying action sequences and their seizure-inducing flashes and explosions. This is a series that takes its time to tell its story, and it tells it in a lovely and loving manner.

Season 1 was excellent, season 2 not so much, and season 3 was pretty good. I'll review season 3 here, since seasons 1 and 2 have been reviewed ad nauseam.
Season 3 centers around the possible acquisition of the channel by a billionaire (played quite well by John Hamm) who is an obvious stand-in for Elon Musk, but without the weirdness. In this universe, he is just a typical, ruthless capitalist.
There is much drama, obviously, and you'll have to watch to see what happens, but I overall enjoyed it. New characters are introduced, and they tend to be intriguing. New alliances are formed, some quite surprising. It's definitely worth a watch.

This is just an old-fashioned slapstick comedy. If you're not amused by a kick in the balls, this may not be for you.
The acting is terrible, of course, but that's part of the genre. Nothing is taken seriously, it's just a bunch of kids having fun, the story is ridiculous, but a real story would actually be a distraction here. Bowen Yang and Conan O'Brien do a fine job, and the main characters are pretty much the same as what you see on SNL.
The production is actually quite good, this kind of movie is typically done more on the cheap.
So no, an Oscar is not likely, but if you just want to have fun with a bunch of goofballs, you may enjoy this movie.
