The private world of Adrian Suar He is convulsed and although he appears serene and contemplative, the idea of close definitely his television production company Polka. There are many aspects that lead you to make such a decision. In the first instance, television changed forever with the emergence of platforms and the public does not stop migrating towards streaming and social networks.
Secondly, his continued successes in theater: first starring alongside Diego Peretti at work “Immature” in which he filled the National hall for two years in a row, and now “Let’s vote”, in which he put together a true theatrical dream team to be sold out every night at the Metropolitan room. This is not counting its goose that lays the golden eggs called “Piaf”which for a year has been making the Lyceum audience explode with tickets that are not cheap at all from Wednesday to Sunday.
Third and almost decisive, the high costs of Argentine productions that become little tempting for investors when a turkish novel 2010 is half the value and yields twice as much.

In Polka Nobody denies or confirms anything. The only certain thing is that the offices themselves announced that throughout 2024 and 2025 there will be no scheduled activity, so it is assumed that it will be imminent wave of layoffsthere is talk of more than 120 employees that will be unemployed. A situation that was already sensed in 2020 after the abrupt end of “Separadas” when the Covid 19 pandemic ruined the world’s plans. But Suar He is not a man who allows himself to be defeated by other people’s actions, so he continued with all the necessary protocols and in 2021 he surprised with the launch of his novel “La 1-5/18, we are one.”
His latest production so far is the one starring his son Thomas Kirzner, “Good guys”who changed his schedule until he found his audience who, although loyal, does not meet expectations of the producer or the channel. One of the lethal blows that led the production company to this situation was the resounding failure of the second season of “ATAV 2”which ended in September 2023, when it was expected to be the rebirth, not only of the company but of everything The thirteen. Something is also true, the general rating of Argentine television is increasingly lower and achieving double figures is already a miracle.
History
In recent decades, Argentine television has undergone many transformations. But it was the emergence of Polka the one that forever changed the way we watch television, because his fictions were filmed under the codes of cinema. His first novel was “Polithief” in 1995 and showed the closest thing to Hollywood, with explosions, shots, helicopters and even bazookas. A novelty that later also continued due to a change of concept both in language and in narrative. And with this, a new breed of actors emerged from Mariano Martinez, Nicolás Cabré, Gabriela Toscano, Eugenia Tobal, Diego Peretti and Nicolás Vázquez, who attracted all types of audiences. “Vulnerable”, “Gasoleros” and “Champions of life”among many other fictions, thus became classics while they were broadcast.
Among so much political, media and artistic confusion, where a DNU sent by the Argentine President Javier Milei puts institutions such as the INCAAthe National Theater Institute and the National Endowment for the Arts, Adrián Suar must think carefully about his next step, especially for its credibility, prestige and for the good of its loyal employees. Perhaps an indefinite cessation of activities, without ruling out some co-production with the tanks HBO, Disney or Cablevisión Flow, is what lies ahead. For the moment we just have to wait, although the turning off of the cameras and the blank scripts is something that Argentine television is already suffering from.
