“My 2 Cents” (original Italian title: “Due Spicci”), released on Netflix on May 27, 2026, is an Italian adult animated comedy-drama series. It is the third installment in a trilogy created by cartoonist Zerocalcare, following “Tear Along the Dotted Line” and “This World Can't Tear Me Down.” The series follows Zero, a 40-year-old, and his friend Cinghiale (Wild Boar) as they attempt to run a small bar. Their lives quickly spiral into financial struggles, misunderstandings, and complex personal issues, further complicated by Wild Boar's entanglement with a dangerous organized crime family. The show explores themes of messy adulthood, anxiety, friendship, and the pressures of modern life, shifting from an awkward comedy to an urban noir narrative involving violence and intense situations. It is aimed at mature audiences.
Things to Consider
Violence
The series contains graphic and intense depictions of violence, including organized crime activity, brutal injuries, and murder. The narrative escalates into urban paranoia with a violent mob enforcer.
Scenes include a 'dog lapping a puddle of blood' in a poorly-lit street at the opening of the first episode. There are 'vast amounts of blood or people (and Zero himself) being gruesomely injuried' in 'Imagine Spots,' and the Tartallegra family is depicted 'torturing Sloth and gunning down the rest of the Fratelli family.' The character Lorenzo Montini 'finally snaps and kills Tripwire' after Tripwire attempts to kill his dog, leading to Montini's arrest. The plot involves Wild Boar's entanglement with the 'terrifying Tartallegra mob family' and their 'unstable debt collector' Tripwire, whose 'obsession with Zero and his friends becomes increasingly violent,' leading characters to 'prepare for battle against Tripwire.'
Profanity
The show incorporates strong language and expletives, consistent with an adult animated comedy-drama. The trailer dialogue itself contains explicit profanity.
Scary & Intense Content
The series contains highly intense and frightening content, escalating from an awkward comedy to urban paranoia due to organized crime. It features threats, violent confrontations, and psychologically stressful situations.
