Trivia:

Many have connected this series with "The A-Team" (1983). As Hannibal does there, Mario Santos (the head of the team) always smokes a cigar when the plan has completed (the only exception being episode 2.8, when he lights a pipe).

Quotes:

Santos: Of course we can fail. But, let's suppose that you need an urgent medical operation. It can fail too, but you'll try to find the best surgeon available. Well, in this case, we're not only the best surgeons... we're the only ones.

The best TV series ever made in the world!

This TV series is the best a human mind can create. Is about four men that solve problems, but this problems occurs to normal people with normal lifes. The method they use to solve problems is the simulation.

Many people in Argentina thinks why this series being remaded in other countries hadn't have the success that had in this country. In my opinion the answer is simple, Los Simuladores is a series to be made only in Argentina for the type of humor, themes treated and also the problems that this four men solve are typical for Argentina's habitants. That's why Los Simuladores inmediatly entered in Argentinian's homes. Los Simuladores are so Argentinian as Maradona or Tango are.....
