Review of Alpha Males

Alpha Males (2022– )
8/10
Clever and smart, a change from the usual Spanish Telenovela
2 January 2023
This series is one of the cleverest and well produced to come out of Spain. It's modern, deals with current social media issues as well as the absurdities of modern living. The characters could use more development but that may happen if the series is renewed for a second season. For example, if the creators are serious about the characters exploring all aspects of their masculinity, personality and sexuality, they need to do so in a sensitive and tasteful manner. It would make the premise for series more believable I.e that the men are interested in making the journey to evolve and discover what it means to be "masculine". The negative is that like most of the series from Spain, the audio is terrible. This makes the dialog inaudible at times, especially when the actors deliver their lines as if they are just reading them rapidly from the script.

Unfortunately, the second season loses the innovation and momentum of the first and is not as enjoyable or engaging. The writing deteriorated as did the acting which becomes more mechanical. The rapid fire dialog and poor audio quality makes the speech inaudible and incomprehensible. The characters seem stuck in their stereotypes and show little development. If there is a third season, one can only hope that it regains its uniqueness and momentum!
