Guten Morgen, Verônica

Good morning, Veronica is a very nice Brazilian surprise on Netflix. With a good quality script, aided by the excellent criminologist and writer Ilana Casoy, the series features some very credible characters such as the psychopath Brandão and his abused wife, Janete. The direction is convincing, but there is certainly room for improvement. Brazilian crime dramas still suffer a bit, specially in the action scenes and here this can be noticed at times. Not top notch, but good enough. The cast is somewhat uneven. Du Moscovis and Carmila Morgado, in the roles of the problematic couple, are extremely good and convincing. The protagonist, Tainá Müller, feels very restrained and sometimes fails to demonstrate the expected emotions, especially in her family sequences. But she shows some growth throughout the series, improving at the end. Some other actors are ok, but the other policemen and criminals offer nothing more than overacting caricatures, resembling bad characters from soap operas. In general, despite having points which can be improved, it is a very interesting series that is worth watching. Just give it a chance.

Rarely this isn't heavily soapy which I found unusual for a Brazilian production The English dubbing is much better than usual.

I watched both series in a week

Both season have pretty heavy content matter so use discretion.

Lead female carries both series well, however some of the support pails in comparison. Never the less it's worth a watch, doesn't get bogged down as these type often do.

Liked it a lot. Heroine was made to be weak at times, strong at others. There has to be room for growth or it will be a one season show

I enjoyed the first season and it was really exciting with very good scenario.

The second season is significantly worse and the quality is declining.

The third is even worse.

The first season really had me glued to my chair, while I watched the other two just to watch.

Sometimes I felt like I was watching a completely different series, unrealistic and uninteresting with lots of holes in the content.

Anyway, I would recommend watching this series, with an emphasis on the first season.

Please don't make a fourth season.

My final ratings by season 1st season 8/10 2nd season 6/10 3rd season 5/10.

American writers & directors should take notes! I've enjoyed the culturally sprinkled series & movies over the years that Netflix offer But the Brazilian series are the most authentic and well acted. Didn't think I would ever give a crime series a 10 (Perfect Score)!
