What comedy used to be
chulex11 March 2023
Great comedy that would be canceled by most mainstream.

Being incorrect is funny and the series starts with a 10 points episode, then it gets a little repetitive but effective with a new high in the electronic party episode.

I would definitely suggest viewing as what it is, a low cost comedy with lots of jokes surrounding the Buenos Aires culture.

Great acting . Music is also fun.

Some people emphasize that the critic to political correctness is focused on the actual government of the city and I think they it is just not to them but all governments that cosndier themself inclusive but in the end they are full of discrimination. Also sometimes being inclusive ends up stigmatizing, the series shows this with great humor.

So silly but I loved it

This made me laugh out loud so many times. The series took precisely aimed potshots at many of the shibboleths of modern society. Political correctness, wokeness, affirmative action, corruption, ministerial maneuvering, ableism and many more.

All the time the writers kept the jokes coming and the action fast. The episodes were tautly constructed of twenty five minutes each. Any longer and the plot would sag. Within each one we see this motley crew being set up to fail and realise why later on in the series.

There was a cliffhanger. The squad's opponents next time are going to be harder to vanquish. But I'm sure the comedy will be just as good.

What a great surprise

I think this show represents the future of comedy. Or how it should be.

Buenos Aires' mayor hires a group of civilians to work as community guards. They specifically hire people of minorities or with disabilities. There's is a crime involving one of them, so they try to solve it, at the same time that they try to do their job as guards, which not always goes well.

The best of the show is that mostly EVERY SINGLE LINE is a joke, and a really funny one. They address issues like discrimination and stereotypes in such a clever way, I've not yet seen it in USA's comedy and anywhere else. I had to go back sometimes not to miss any phrase, and discovered new things to laugh about. This was really carefully thought.

Kudos for Santiago Korovsky, he is fantastic as the main character and also writes the show.

A must-see!

I can't stop laughing!!!

Im originally from Argentina and I had no very high expectations from this show because I almost didn't know any of the actors. This fun crime / suspense comedy, where a guy that seems very dumb ends up waking up in his life when he stars working by mistake in a community squad. He makes friends with the most diverse group of people you could ever imagine. As another reviewer said, every line is a punch line you can't help it and start laughing... I think the humor is the type of British comedies, I love it but I understand might not be for everyone, style can be similar to the original Death at a funeral, a bit dark and gruesome at times, but very smart! Really well job from the director.

Excellent!!!

Finally, a good Argentinian comedy, the show is about an unsrespected "force", a division made to include minorities and to carry out simple tasks. The characters are hilarious, and the dialogues top notch! It's great how they managed to blend these minoritie's "problems" with some everyday tasks, the show is very human at the same time, bringing human relationships to the front.

It's short, very entertaining, irreverent.

Well I don't know what else to write.

Bla bla, just watch it, if you like light and fast comedy. I had a great time, the 2nd season is being produced so great, hope you enjoy it too!!
