Os Filhos do Rock (2013)
Awakening and Rebirth
This series takes us through suburban city life in 80's Portugal. In a country that just came straight out of a military revolution, in a very fragile economical situation and essentially still stuck in the past, we follow the lives of 3 young men who want to change mentalities. They form a revolutionary rock band and, absorbing the style and examples of both the US and Western Europe, who at the time were at least 20 years ahead, they will shake everything in its past. An amazingly creative and rhythmical period piece, where everything feels as vintage as it should. A true work of rebellion and ambition that everyone, regardless of their nationality, should see.
Odisseia (2013)
An artistic approach, a must-see
This is truly a work of art. The two protagonists are both the producers and play themselves in this utterly unexpected thrill of a ride. As you start going deeper into the story you begin to realize you can't really trust in which reality is which in this meta-humoristic approach. Layer upon layer of reality, you stop knowing what is happening, what is being filmed, and what is 'really' happening. Everyone is playing on everyone, and it is so brilliantly done. Along with beautiful scenery and clever introductions, it makes 'Odisseia' a truly unique television experience. You've yet to see anything remotely similar.
