The Neighbor
Created by Raúl Navarro, Miguel Esteban
On Netflix
A lighthearted superhero comedy about an underdog navigating sudden powers while managing personal and professional struggles, grounded in character and relationship humor rather than spectacle.
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.
