The Boss

Eliseo runs an upscale apartment building and keeps a polite, unobtrusive face for the tenants, but he privately believes he holds absolute authority over the community. He quietly manipulates situations, steers neighbors' choices and cultivates influence so his position goes unchallenged. The balance begins to wobble when a proposal to build a pool sets residents against each other and threatens the one thing Eliseo cares about most, his job. The series follows the escalating tensions and the everyday maneuvers of a man who treats a condo like his kingdom, mixing comedy with tense social observation.

Released in 2022, the show was created by Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat and stars Guillermo Francella as Eliseo, with Gabriel Goity and Darío Barassi in supporting roles. The creators are known for blending satire and character study, and their voice is clear throughout the episodes.

Critics and viewers gave the series strong marks, reflected in an average vote of 8.051 out of 10 from 256 votes. Reviews tended to praise the sharp tonal shifts, the script's attention to small power plays, and Francella's central performance. Major themes include authority, reputation, status anxiety and the petty politics that can define a close-knit community, presented with a mix of humor and dramatic awkwardness.

Beyond its plot, the show sparked conversations about everyday power dynamics and the odd reverence people can give to gatekeepers in shared spaces. Francella's portrayal of a likeable yet controlling superintendent became a frequent topic on social media and in reviews, and the series invited viewers to think about how minor institutional roles shape communal life and who gets to make decisions for everyone else.
