The first serie was very cool and it set high expectations but ZeroCalcare has been able to exceed them. There is definitely a political aspect however, beyond that, there is much more. The stories of Zero and his friends are an excellent picture of the society and its contradictions which generate hate and social tensions. It is not an easy topic but he never slips into the essay, the stereotypes, the boredom, etc. This is remarkable. On top you have a lot of funny moments which burst laugh few seconds before an emotional moment. All together supported by an amazing soundtrack composed by original tunes, classic rock/pop songs and hidden gems.
