División Palermo

Santiago García of Infobae wrote: ‘The series knows how to find a way to laugh with the minorities without disrespecting them. That humour that people no longer dare to make or that can often lead to someone being cancelled. There is something healthy and luminous in being able to recover those jokes about things that affect us and that we live with on a daily basis. The real integration is that everyone can be part of the comedy. And most importantly, it is a really funny comedy’.^[4]

Mikel Zorrilla of Espinof highlighted ‘[the] ability [of the series] to play with different archetypes that in another time would have served as the basis for jokes that did not go beyond the offensive -and the particular ability of the comedian in question to put his personal stamp on them’.^[5]

Alejandro Modarelli, from Página/12, says that División Palermo poses ‘a social and cultural debate on freedom of speech’ in whose plot the Urban Guard is ‘made up of freaks hired in the neoliberal city as cosmetic instruments of the actual repressive policies’. The writer points out the intention of reflecting ‘the astuteness of the right wing politicians when they claim to be liberal, in its eagerness to hide difference under an export carpet or to instrument it, uncritically, as objects of consumption in the cultural markets’.^[6]
