It's not easy to escape the clichés when talking about crime and drug trafficking in Rio de Janeiro. We see the sensuality and rawness of funk balls, guns, swear words, cocaine lines, sex, but Dom offers much more than that. The story revolves around the relationship between Dom and his father, who does everything to save the boy predestined to a tragic life. The two are on opposite sides: the father on the side of law and responsibility and the son with two feet rooted in marginality and vice.
A breathtaking series, with 8 electrifying chapters of a lot of drama, humor, action and reenactment of an exquisite period, the highlight, at the end, is the direction of actors. Gabriel Leone and Pedro Lima at the front. Director Breno Silveira is an ace, he knows how to extract emotion from actors like no one else.
Another quality of the series is the contextualization of the Carioca environment in the 60s and 70s, showing the beginning of drug sales in the favelas and police corruption, including in the military sphere, during the dictatorship, with a general dealing weapons for the bandits, protected by dome.
A super-production like that is not common in Brazil.
