A new series, with the potential of becoming a cult classic

This series has everything you have been asking for. Music, drama, love, bromance, (even some action) and music. Lots of great music. Really great music.

You might be thinking that because you were not alive at that time or you didn't leave anywhere near the Bronx, you might not understand it. But i lived all my life in Argentina, and i was born on 1999 and i have really adored it. The scriptwriters understand their job perfectly.

The speed on storytelling is plainly delightful, and the story itself makes you suffer and wonder a lot. Its awesome. And lots of fun. Lots.

Please watch it, we need more series like that on Netflix. We deserve, as a society, good entertaining quality shows like this.

I hope you enjoy it as much as i did.
