Puerta 7 (2020) User Reviews

My sleeping cats are more exciting

[lisamazzone · 5/10 · 4 March 2020]

When in episode 1 I already pause the series every few minutes to grab my cell phone, get a drink or play with the cats, I already know that it will not be a great success.

Hmm, I don't know. Had a different expectation: tension, darkness, drugs, hooligans ... But it's actually a bit boring. Little happens.

It annoys me that a young woman thinks she can handle the entire system on her own and also manages to do everything. Totally not credible.

But the most annoying thing is the music / tunes in between the scenes. A guitar chord that reminds me of Married with Children, The Nanny and those kind of programs. Of those silly tunes at all times without any purpose.

In short: a very moderate series.

Good story, terrible acting

[glutz-07410 · 5/10 · 27 February 2020]

The main character, Lomito, is a terrible actor. What a waste. Where are the good old actors from Argentina?

Terrible

[bfontoura · 4/10 · 9 March 2020]

I'm a huge fan of argentinian cinema, but what a disappointment this series is.

Terrible acting, terrible story, full of clichés and plot holes.

The director, Israel Adrian Caetano, is a very good one, as he already proved in "Oso Rojo" - one of my favorite action films - and "Pizza, birra, faso", an argentinian classic. The problems here are with the script and acting.

It's a shame that such a rich and full of possibilities theme as the argentinian football and its barra bravas was so wasted like this.

It could have been better

[daltonpedro · 3/10 · 8 April 2020]

The plot could have been better, and with more action, it is not bad, however in my case I lost the focus therefore I could not pass the 1st chapter

Simply terrible!

[qui_j · 2/10 · 1 March 2020]

I'm not sure what kind of audience Netflix had in mind for this series but it is just a confusing and chaotic story that made no sense. Twenty minutes of the first episode will tell you not to waste your time on it.

A Great Watch

[clewispurvis · 9/10 · 13 January 2022]

A refreshing change to the typical South American series. Don't expect an Argentinian version of 'Green Street,' as you will be disappointed. The focus of this series is the culture , corruption, politics and criminality surrounding a fictitious football club in the suburbs and the lives of the people who run it. Although it is a slow burner at times, there is enough drama to keep the viewer entertained. I was hooked , a great watch!!

Es un gran cambio a las típicas series de Suramérica. No esperes una versión argentina de la película inglesa 'Green Street, 'ya que te decepcionarás. El enfoque de esta serie es la corrupción, la política y la delincuencia alrededor de un club de fútbol ficticio y las vidas de los personajes que lo administran. Aunque sea un poco lento, a veces hay suficiente drama que entretiene al espectador. Me ha encantado. Lo recomiendo a ojos cerrados.

Obnoxious but quite accurate.

Anyone who is familiar with football in some countries knows that what this series tells is real Unfortunately bad acting and plot.

Brave Castellano innovation by NETFLIX. Looking forward to Sequel.

[refordgarry · 9/10 · 11 March 2020]

Get rid of them subtitles. Listen in Spanish. Dialogue's good 'n' punchy, and If you like football and intrigue this one's definitely for you. Lots more violence than normal for Latin Teleseries, so not for Mum. Storyline's not terribly great, but this one's not badly paced over just 8 episodes, with a large body-count - and producers that REALLY say it like it is!! Don Hector, the soccer hooligan-cum-mafia boss, played by Carlos Bellosi has such screen presence that the hapless Dolores Fonzi , cast as Security-Chief Diana is plain usurped. Hector's a bit like the male counterpart of Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones. Difficult to take eyes off, but for ALL the wrong reasons. You'll love and loathe him. Lo recomendo.

Great Spanish Language Show to learn with

[pwil-84161 · 10/10 · 26 July 2020]

Often a challenge of trying to familiarise yourself with Spanish through Netflix is the dearth of watchable shows available, particularly for Argentina. Thankfully Puerta 7 is gripping in its own right thanks to the casting and compelling subject matter. The nature of football hooliganism and its political impact in Argentine culture is explored through entertaining and earnest characters, being a drama it is of course at times embellished but the themes it explores are largely relevant and present in Argentina. Thankfully the writing allows plenty of room for a strong storyline in any potential further seasons, I'd love to see an original Argentine drama given a chance on Netflix after Edha flopped.

To run a Soccer club - a background

[indepthtraining · 10/10 · 23 March 2020]

Unique story line. Spot on. Rarely do the fans get a chance to see the challenges of running a soccer club. Rarely do owners get to see that they are not alone in these challenges. Puerta 7 is not a repeat of the same old story. And while it is fiction, it is not far from the truth. Lomito's character runs parallel to one already experienced. Others are just as close. And the situation is more usual than the general fans would know.

Hopefully the series will continue and the realities will be exposed. The acting is not perfect because the real-life characters are not perfect. Bravo. Let's pray there will be more. A contested election and what happens will be very spicy. Add in the interests of the federation and the national sports board for realism, and take it up that notch.

Go for it! Forza Puer7a

For Football fans

[schzoom-267-461236 · 10/10 · 25 October 2020]

It is great fun to spend some time watching an intriguing war between to the leaders of an Argentinian football club and those of the club's primary faction of hooligans. Each side tops the other until? You'll have to watch to find out.

Great story, but it could be better

[petyrchoo · 8/10 · 28 March 2020]

The idea of the movie is good, just need more action.

Brilliant

[tiaracolusso · 10/10 · 24 July 2020]

Excellent portrayal of the passion, politics and corruption that happens in football clubs in Argentina. The acting is also 10/10. One criticism I do have is the Netflix English translation doesn't accurately convey some of the Argentinian sayings that really make the show, for example; "me rompe los huevos" translated to "it bothers me"...

Great story for those who are living football

[drahimi-91735 · 10/10 · 17 April 2020]

It is one of these kind of series that building the excitment and the story by every episode, this serie will drive your love for the football's world, and will live you thrilled after every episode ending.

Amazing

[ferbalbino · 10/10 · 20 April 2020]

This series has a great way to show the reality of the system that runs in the latin american soccer and the community society that fight to have a better life. Great acting and script.
