About Nada
Nada is a 2023 Argentine comedy-drama created by Mariano Cohn and Gaston Duprat for Star Plus, the Disney-owned streaming home for adult-skewing Latin American originals. Set in an elegant, slightly faded apartment in Buenos Aires, the limited series follows Manuel Tamayo Prats, a celebrated and famously demanding food critic whose refined tastes are matched only by his sharp tongue. For decades his comfortable, orderly life has been quietly held together by others, leaving him free to pronounce judgment on restaurants and people alike from behind a wall of wit and old-world manners.
When the household routine he has always taken for granted suddenly collapses, the curmudgeonly critic is forced to confront just how little he knows about running his own life. Into this disorder arrives Marina, a young Paraguayan housekeeper whose warmth, candor, and unbothered practicality slowly chip away at Manuel's armor. What begins as a transactional arrangement between an exacting employer and a newcomer gradually becomes something gentler, as the two negotiate class, pride, and loneliness across five tightly written episodes.
True to the deadpan, observational style of Cohn and Duprat, Nada mines its comedy from manners, snobbery, and the small absurdities of Buenos Aires high culture rather than broad gags, and a memorable guest appearance by Robert De Niro nods to the show's affectionate view of fame and legacy. Underneath the wit runs a tender story about learning warmth late in life, as a man who has spent his career consuming the world's pleasures finally learns to share them.
