Around the Web
there was much more detail, formalism and aesthetic care in El Lobista (2018), a Pol-Ka series starring Rodrigo de la Serna as a "business facilitator" connected to lawmakers, business executives, public officials, and even a shadowy sector of the clergy. Created by Patricio Vega, the series features remarkable performances (Darío Grandinetti, Alberto Ajaka) and enjoyed a strong critical reception.
Pablo Díaz Marenghi on Clarín Visually, El lobista exhibits a stylization rarely seen in television (wide panoramas, high and low angles, tracking sequence shots, etc.), through which Barone captures the sordidness of the environments it delves into, rife with extortion, deceit, violence, and impunity.
Maximiliano Curcio on EnClave de Cine El lobista is sustained above all by the merits of its screenplay. There are solid, decisive, convincing characters. They talk a lot (the dialogues are very well-written and crafted), but their intentions always remain evident through action. Moving comfortably in a genuine television language, enriched by precise editing, the gripping story flows and never gets bogged down in minutiae.
