Farsantes is a legal drama concerning a law firm located in Greater Buenos Aires. It fills the timeslot of the telenovela Sos mi hombre. It was initially conceived as a miniseries, but as the host show Showmatch did not have a 2013 edition, it was expanded into a regular telenovela.[1] The series is written by Mario Segade and Carolina Aguirre and directed by Daniel Barone and Jorge Bechara.
The cast is composed of many notable actors, including Julio Chávez, Griselda Siciliani, Benjamín Vicuña, Leonor Manso, Gabriela Toscano and Facundo Arana.[1] Arana received proposals from both El Trece and Telefe. Telefe had proposed that he work in a telenovela with Pablo Echarri; he finally chose to work for El Trece.[2] Actors Gonzalo Heredia and Joaquín Furriel were proposed as cast members during the early stages of production, but declined to stay in the project. Furriel's character was finally played by Benjamín Vicuña.[2]
Actress Griselda Siciliani suffered a bone fracture during filming. Facundo Arana, who was being filmed struggling with a pair of extras and with Siciliani next to him, pushed her by accident. She was taken to the hospital "Sanatorio de la Trinidad", and received an orthopedic cast for a couple of months.[3] The actress confirmed that the fracture was the result of an accident, and subsequent filming managed to hide her orthopedic cast.[4]
Guillermo Graziani (Julio Chávez) is a lawyer who establishes a new law firm in the Greater Buenos Aires, after serving a time unable to work as a lawyer. He is gay, but stays married with Ana (Ingrid Pelicori) to conceal his homosexuality. He has a crush on fellow lawyer Pedro (Benjamín Vicuña), who is married to Camila (Julieta Cardinali). Alberto Marini (Facundo Arana) is a former prisoner, and the other lawyers of the firm are Marcos (Alfredo Casero) and Gabriela (Griselda Siciliani).
The 2013 prime time of Argentine television is highly disputed by the channels El Trece and Telefe. El Trece airs Solamente Vos and Farsantes, and Telefe airs Los Vecinos en Guerra and Celebrity Splash!, both channels with similar ratings.[5]
