Verdict

I must say that I'm biased when comes to Brazilian shows, being a native i feel more deeply connected with the pieces and want to support the artwork that my country is doing, whoever is not always that I'm capable of supporting a show, every country has bad work, happily this is not the case.

Camila Morgado and Lena Roque are the stars in this piece, i love how the high and intense tone of the character Heloisa gives balance with the silent and the fader tone of Dinorah in the first episodes, the dynamic of them, with a very condense and eloquent dialogue that looks almost like a play is delightful. The supporting cast is mixed, with a lot of weak acting with some high points here and there, sometimes too much character with interesting stories, but no screen time for a deeper work on their storylines and there's in a lot of scenes the use of camera technique with visual effects combine to create an emotion that doesn't look the greatest too, looks a bit too much.

The script very often repeats explanation that is very clear to the audience and can make the show look a little tiresome but all this doesn't take the fact that the plot is a very good one, can be cliché, but if you look closer is a very interesting study on how the problems of the Brazilian prison system are all very well connected with politics, big companies and our police system.

I really hope a second season on this one!

I loved it! Very realistic and exciting. The actress Camila Morgado, who also acts in the great series 'Bom dia Veronica', is magnificent in a totally different role, a great actress!!.

The truth is that all the actors are fantastic!

I hope there will be a second season, since the ending left me stunned and waiting for mooore!!

Do not miss it!

I wanted to give it a try and watch a brazilian tv show.

The main actress is too much; the supporting actors are really bad actors (some of them you can't really call actors), but the plot isn't that bad (it's only ok).

Thumbs up: the plot.

Thumbs down: the cast (most of the time it felt fake and extremely awkward).

The actors are outstanding and the storyline gets more and more intense with each episode. The young actor playing the son is very talented. I'm glad they gave him his own storyline.

The last episode leaves us hanging in suspense. Please hurry with season 2!

Anyone who knows me knows that I love crime thrillers. I come from all nationalities: American, European, Nordic. No problem.

But this one, being Brazilian, spent in São Paulo, got me down. I often had to stop to breathe. It's our reality.
