Best movie of this year hands down!

Fresh and Exciting

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Just a quick note about the the chemistry of this show. It all works. Extremely well. The plot lines worked very well, drawing the viewer into the worlds of both the very rich and the lower working class of Rio, Brazil, exposing the inner workings of both street politics and traditional politics found within Brazil. The show has been able to pull together an extremely talented cast from Brazilian Television. The structure of the show is much better than your run of the mill novella normally found on Brazilian Television. I heard that there may only be one season due to tax issues with the government of Brazil. That is a pity. I hope that the producers are able to resolve the issues and begin generating additional episodes (The writers believe they have another 4 years of scripts available).
