The Neighbor

2019–2021 · 2 seasons

A breezy, silly superhero comedy that coasts on charm and awkward everyday mishaps rather than spectacle.

Overview: Javier is going through a bad patch: he can hardly make it to the end of the month, his business of T-shirts with de-motivational slogans is not quite getting the attention, and his relationship with Lola is shacking. The least thing he needed was for an alien to fall on him and transfer his powers to him before dying.
How it feels: Light, whimsical, satirical and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, power, ambition, friendship
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
