Netflix’s División Palermo (Community Squad) took home the 2024 International Emmy for Best Comedy. Created by and starring Santiago Korovsky, this Argentinian comedy follows Felipe, a mild-mannered Jewish man placed in a PR-driven “Urban Guard” alongside various misfits, including a one-armed playwright, a blind sharpshooter, and two real cops.

In the second season, Felipe secretly infiltrates a local crime operation, confronting baristas, mafia members, as well as his own IBS.
