I really enjoyed this series, even if (though I'm Argentinian) I've never been a hardcore fan of Fito Paez or Argentinian music in general. That being said, I love a lot of that music and I know a lot of it very well, as I grew up listening to it and it's part of my culture and it's burned in me, it brings back beautiful memories.
On my forties now, and living abroad for almost half of my life, I wish I was a part of all that, watching this series made me quite melancholic and that's pure merit of the production value which is outstanding. The costume and settings design is excellent, and the attention to detail lifts up the experience really high.
Knowing the musicians that appear in the story and the melodies and songs that Fito plays even in their early stages of development is something that probably Argentinians will enjoy the most, but even someone that doesn't know the characters could get interested in researching further into these music legends of our country and find some of these gems which probably are not known internationally.
As mentioned before, the cinematography (I'm a photographer/cinematographer, so I get quite technical in this aspect when I watch) is absolutely beautiful, it's really one of the best aspects of the show, really high standards for a "TV series"!!
And again, I felt very touched throughout the episodes, which speaks of good writing, so another great achievement there!
I have to say, some times the performances were uneven, mostly from the main character Fito (played by Ivan Hochman) who felt a bit overacted by moments, but I understand the real Fito has some special, intense body language (even for an Argentinean!) and that can be a huge challenge! Still, it's not something that ruined the show and the physical resemblance really helped. Specially Micaela Riera as Fabiana Cantilo, incredible resemblance!!
Overall an excellent show, I really enjoyed it and I'm really looking forward to see more Argentinian artists brought into more series of this quality.
Well done all the team, and thank you for bringing me back home.
