El vecino: Season One

January 6, 2020 6:22 PM - Season 1 (Full Season)

Javier is going through a bad patch. His business of T-shirts with de-motivational slogans isn't taking off and his relationship with Lola is circling the drain. The last thing he needed was for an alien to fall on him and transfer his powers to him before dying. A Spanish language Netflix original.

The first two episodes are directed by Nacho Vigalondo.

I watched the first episode over the holiday break, but didn't feel drawn to continue. Javier was just so unappealing to me. Like, I get that that's kinda the point/joke of an unheroic person getting superpowers, and maybe he rises to the occasion over the season, but it felt too far over the line from 'lovable loser' to 'outright douchebag' for me.
