Argentinian web tv series

[+ José Soplanucas]

I found this pearl recommended in the Argentinian forums:

 

You can start with the first episode there and keep going if you like it. You have English subtitles if you need them.

 

I just finished the 8 episodes, the only low point I noticed is during the fourth episode, which is very good but in which the philosophical conversations disrupt a little the flow of the action.

 

The plot is simple and not very original. A group of 4 gay friends (30 years old average) get together as they usually do, to learn that the host hired an escort to be his companion in a family reunion, and the escort is coming any time to have his interview, as the contract would be for a whole week end. That is the situation and the excuse for the characters to show themselves and their relationships.

 

It is a great sample of the high quality creative talent we have in Buenos Aires. Acting, writing, directing, everything is at outstanding level. It is entertaining if you just want to watch a comedy. It is engaging if you are into gay politics and he post-gay/old gays vs new gays controversies. It is interesting if you want to learn the Buenos Aires slang and Spanish dialectal version. It is insightful if you are looking for a picture of the Buenos Aires middle/upper middle class gay culture.
