About Envidiosa
Envidiosa is an Argentine romantic comedy created by Carolina Aguirre and directed by Gabriel Medina that premiered globally on Netflix on September 18, 2024. It follows Vicky, a sharp, neurotic Buenos Aires woman approaching forty who cannot stop measuring her own messy life against the seemingly settled, engaged-and-married lives of the friends around her. The result is a warm, fast-talking comedy of modern envy, where every wedding invitation and group chat update lands like a small personal verdict.
After a painful breakup, Vicky throws herself into a quest for new love and a life that finally matches the timeline everyone else seems to be on. Along the way she juggles a maybe-fiance, a string of awkward dates, a sister whose choices she cannot help comparing herself to, and an exasperating therapist who keeps refusing to give her the easy answers she wants. The show mines real anxiety for comedy, treating Vicky's jealousy not as a flaw to be cured but as an honest, very human reaction to the pressure of arriving late to milestones.
Anchored by a much-praised lead performance from Griselda Siciliani, Envidiosa became one of the biggest Latin American Netflix hits of its season and was quickly renewed, expanding into multiple seasons. Its blend of neurotic wit, romantic misadventure and genuine emotional warmth drew comparisons to a Buenos Aires answer to the modern single-woman comedy, and turned Vicky into one of Argentine streaming's most relatable recent heroines.
