I want to start off by mentioning that I am argentinian, a huge Boca fan and I particularly like Carlos Tévez as a person and as a player. So, all of those things naturally inclined me to eagerly watch this series. I've always thought that his life should be turned into a movie, but that would be too short, so better make it into a tv series. I was a bit skeptical in regards to the narrative quality and the production values of this effort but as soon as I tuned in, I was pleasantly surprised, since I watched a high quality product. From the production design, the locations, the script, the actors and the direction, it was all phenomenal. The main cast give a stellar performance, so incredibly believable in each of their parts.
Carlos Tévez had a very rough upbringing in the dangerous streets of Fuerte Apache, one of Buenos Aires' most notorious neighbourhoods due to high crime rates, including theft, murder and drug trafficking. And he somehow managed to dodge those heavy bullets and followed his passion to play football, and specially to play for Boca, the team of his affections. I really hope we get a second season, to show his rise to stardom, and everything in between.
Kudos to Balthazar Murillo (he plays Tévez), Vanesa González (she plays Carlos' aunt, Adriana), Alberto Ajaka (Segundo; Carlos' uncle), Sofía Gala (Fabiana; Carlos' birth mother) and Matías Recalt (Danilo, Carlos' best friend), they all did a magnificent job in their respective roles.
