Machos Alpha is a Spanish Netflix comedy that the streaming platform has decided to exploit it in accordance with the different sensibilities of the various countries. Italy has also fallen and with the production of Greenland Maschi Veri was born, of which on October 7, 2026 was released the second season. The already excellent and well-balanced cast of the first season by the four males Maurizio Lastrico, Matteo Martari, Francesco Montanari and Pietro Sermonti, the women of their lives, Thony (Tiziana), Sarah Felberbaum (Ilenia), Laura Adriani (Daniela), Alice Lupparelli (Emma), Nicole Grimaudo (Federica), was enriched with the arrival of Carolina Crescentini (Simona).
Many actors, many stories for a comedy in 8 very light episodes that flows away, chasing a gag that never enters, waiting for that decisive moment to give a leg that is reduced to being a caress. Without being able to (justly) enter too much details, the second season flows away by taking back the broken threads of the first, rebuilding them and reaching a final that gives the feeling of being even definitive.
Destructured by toxicity but still determined to understand and love the feminine universe. Mattia, Massimo, Riccardo and Luigi are all looking for the ransom in this new season between new works, new loves and other novelties of life. The TV series tries to maintain the system of the first season with the prologue of each episode entrusted to a “life lesson” but it stumbles in a forcing that will be explained during the bets but that besides being unrealistic is also little consistent with the motivation itself (you can not say more but going forward in the episodes will become all clearer).

Even more than the first season you have the feeling of being in front of an Instagram reel collection, good scenes to scroll with your thumb while you are doing nothing, but little narratively structured. There are situations that would seem to be taking place at the same time but that reveal the limit of credibility, there are lines of dialogue that go beyond coherence (“we see you tomorrow in the office” “no, tomorrow is Saturday” and when they see themselves in the office they talk about what happened in the previous scene saying “ieri”). There is a total feeling of superficiality that lets the bets flow as if they were not even there, chasing those positive conclusions from Italian generalist fiction that are now also infecting the stream.
At least to make everything safe, there is the cast, which tries to go beyond the characters they wrote, trying to give a different shade, beyond the stamping of the set card. Of course some are depotentiated even compared to the first season (Thony and his Tiziana on all), others are sub-used (Davide Iacopini and his Eugenio could give more satisfaction), altogether they are a little all of the stains more than the real characters, but the four males work and especially their most goliardic scenes are among the best. Too bad that every character exists only if on stage, turn off the spotlights disappear letting it be the story to explain the various evolutions.
