Venga Juan' is round: HBO Max's political satire returns claiming the title of best comedy of 2021

 With four nominations for the Feroz Awards serving as a cover letter (in case the two excellent previous installments weren't enough), HBO Max premieres this Sunday ' Venga Juan ', the political comedy starring Javier Cámara. And it's no surprise to anyone if I told you it's brilliant and hilarious .

After seeing his decline as a minister in ' Vota Juan ' and his attempt to assault Moncloa in ' Vamos Juan ', this time we meet Juan Carrasco (Chamber) at the peak of his life with a job in an energy company thanks at revolving doors, more hair (four thousand foluncles) and less weight .

Something that collapses overnight when an investigation takes place in the city of Logroño and some papers that implicate him in a corruption plot . Thus, our pathetic protagonist will try to do everything possible to get rid of punishment. And I'm not going to go any further because I prefer you to find out for yourself, but if you thought I was going to do sensible things ... you are wrong.

The sinking of Logroño

It is curious how, without trying to go towards the gag or towards a physical humor - in fact they flee in their inclination for a drama that does not finish happening -, Diego San José, Víctor García de León and the rest of the creative team of the series achieve provide forceful laughter with the adventures and dialogues of the series.

I would dare to say that, even, one laughs more than with the two previous installments . Perhaps by the very nature of a story that revolves around things that we read in headlines day in and day out, there is a bit of laughter because the alternative, the thought that this is tremendously real and it happens, is depressing.

But of course, the characteristic of satire is precisely that approach to uncomfortable reality through even more uncomfortable characters . And if they are interpreted with the mastery of Javier Cámara, who dominates his Juan Carrasco precisely, much better.

In addition, this domain allows comedy to be less choral than usual this season. That Juan has always been the absolute center of everything, but the script expresses his loneliness in the face of circumstances . Whoever does not have a team (Macarena and company), and who is separated, takes its toll on the character. Although we do not stop seeing the usual characters of the series, there is coldness.
