Pedaço de Mim

This series is incredibly well-written and directed, with a great cast! Overall an amazing production which kept me hooked from start to finish. A Brazilian telenovela at its best!

The series tackles difficult and dark themes such as sexual assault, misogyny and discrimination. It shows different kinds of abuse that women suffer from men (including their supposed "friends" and even their husbands), from gaslighting to date rape. It also deals with the guilt and shame that a woman may feel after being sexually assaulted, which may last years and even decades.

Another important theme explored in the series is ableism, which is reflected in a secondary plot. The scenes involving this character are very sensible and the actor (who has the same condition as the character in real life) did an amazing job.
