El Presidente (2020– )
4/10
Far below my expectations
23 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
El Presidente shows us how corrupted is football asociations around the world, not only CONMEBOL. That's something that everybody who loves football knows (including myself) and El Presidente put it on real numbers but with a small comedic atmosphere.

So far I have no complaints.

But... and it's a big BUT... I was expecting a lot more. I have the feeling that some aspects neededed to be polished. From the Jadue's bald hair to the Harris wig.

Some episodes feels like empty and that's including the last episode. The first half hour it's completely pointless and slow.

And something I can't stand in an Amazon TV show: Unless you were Wagner Moura in Narcos, why in the earth they couldn't search for a cast that natively speaks the language of the character that they perform? There are argentinian actors playing brazilian and american roles, chilean actors playing uruguayan roles, mexican actors playing chilean roles and so. I really don't understand why they didn't search for a native cast depending of the character.

The ending shows us that a 2nd season is coming and it's going to be about João Havelange. So I hope that in the next season they could make the TV show that is up to the task of what we were expecting of the first one.
