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. The show blends absurdist humor with thoughtful commentary on tokenism and performative politics, reminiscent of series like This Fool, No Activity, and English Teacher.
