Carizzma on Netflix: the Argentine comedy that tells the crisis of an influencer's thirties

The life of a digital icon can collapse in ten minutes. This is the premise of Carizzma (original title Carísima), the Argentine comedy series streaming on Netflix from May 20, 2026. Ten episodes, of ten minutes each that reflect the fragmentation of the social existence of Caro Pardiaco, protagonist played by Julián Kartún.

The plot: when the party turns into a nightmare

Caro Pardiaco dominates streaming and nightlife. Queen of post-pop and digital entrepreneur, she approaches thirty with the awareness that something is not working. The existential crisis that precedes this age threshold manifests itself forcefully, but the arrival of Leo complicates everything. This character, played by Alex Pelao, brings with him multiple personalities and psychopathic behavior that threatens the birthday party, career and emotional balance of Caro.

The series builds its rhythm on brevity: each episode lasts as long as a viral video, and perhaps it is not coincidental. The narration proceeds in fragments, like the content that Caro produces for her audience. The identity crisis develops while the protagonist tries to maintain control over a situation that escapes, episode after episode.

The short format and the narrative choice

Netflix has chosen to distribute Carizzma in short-form format, a decision that reflects the consumption habits of the younger audience.

Caro Pardiaco's crisis is not only personal: it is generational. The influencer who faces thirty represents a recognizable figure, suspended between the public image built on social media and private fragility. Leo, with his multiple personalities, becomes the distorted mirror of this identity fragmentation.

The cast and recent projects

Julián Kartún, who plays Caro Pardiaco, has recently worked in Argentine productions. Alex Pelao, in the role of Leo, brings to the screen a character who acts as a catalyst for the protagonist's crisis.
