"El mundo de los videos" is a story of greed, being stuck in a job with no future, loneliness, and unrequited love; and it's hilarious.
The show is bit slow-paced, but that is probably a consequence of the idiosyncrasy of the main characters, which (in my opinion) faithfully resembles the idiosyncrasy of the Uruguayan people. Héctor, Jaime, Ricardo and Willy (the boss) will show you around their video store, one of the last ones in the city, and their everyday lives while working at it. The characters, each flawed in their own way, try to cope with the fact that the store is dying or are simply too busy to see it while they deal with their own (and, at times, ridiculously mundane) problems. The writing and the acting are fantastic, and Néstor Guzzini does a particularly superb job with his character Héctor.
If you enjoy mockumentaries and humour based on akward characters/situations instead of jokes, you won't be dissapointed.
