Olhar Indiscreto

The series has one of the most unlikely scripts in recent times. They wanted to navigate all the so-called modern narratives of relationships, mainly sexual ones. The locations are few and poor. The actors, almost all of them have a poor. Acting. The comings and goings in time are now a cliché and, in this case, they confuse the story a little. The plot fails to create an atmosphere of tension, primarily due to the temporal spoilers, also due to the actors' unconvincing performance, which in my opinion were poorly directed. Not even the sex scenes manage to create an erotic atmosphere. In short, a tremendous catastrophe.

It feels like a lot of reviewers know very little about the culture from whence this series came. Thankfully this is not a Hollywood creation. The series is not obliged to conform to the expectations of an American audience, nor is it reliant on the American audience to measure its success. This isn't the first foreign series to get review bombed and still be mega successful on the global level, as indicated elsewhere on the world wide web where people are already asking for a second season.

Let's clarify a couple things. There wasn't as much sex in the series as some of the reviewers would have you believe. They make it sound like it's every 5 minutes. It's not. There are plenty of other things going on.

To be fair, the "voyeur" instances were few. Some were repeated via flashbacks to add additional details that set up upcoming plot twists. Based on that I don't feel feel that the title fit the series overall, but it's a catchy title nonetheless.

Two stars off. One for Ingrid Klug being cast as Rita, and the second star off for the writing for Rita. I've said this in a lot of my reviews: voice inflection and body language are important. Her characterization as Rita was corny, cheesy, and immersion breaking, but that was, in part, because of really bad writing for the character. Since Rita doesn't have much relevance to the overall story to have such a big part in it. I fast forwarded through most of the scenes with her in them.

The beauty in this type of storytelling is that just when you think you've figured out the plot, and who did what, you find out that you haven't figured out anything at all. The story twists and turns with murder, danger, sex, romance, betrayal and intrigue. It keeps you engaged, which is the kind of storytelling that I have grown to love in telenovelas. This one was one of the most complex and detailed that I've ever watched.

If you're familiar with Latin American and Iberian style storytelling you'll enjoy this thoroughly. It's not perfect, but it's really good.

Yes, you read the headline correctly. I actually watched the entire first season of "Lady Voyeur". I don´t know if there is going to be a second season. But if it comes my interest would be mild. Some of the sex scenes in this TV series were unnecessary in my opinion. The other sex scenes were okay or quite good. Some plot twists were a bit too complicated if you ask me. And other plot twists were suprising.

Miranda. How should I describe her? She´s beautiful and brave. I don´t know anything about hacking computers, so I can´t say if the hacking scenes are realistic. But it seems like Miranda knows enough about the subject. I also think that she was a bit gullible.

If there is going to be a second season I would wish for a better written plot, more courtship before the sex scenes and more clarity.

Some actions are not the best possible, but in a police thriller series, such excellent acting is not needed.

I didn't exactly understood the hacking scenes, I don't think they're pretty accurate, but for people who don't understand much about hacking, the fake scenes ain't obvious.

Débora Nascimento stands out from the other actors, she seems to be on another level in relation to them.

For Brazilian standards, Lady Devoyeur stands out for its production and photography.

Summing up, if you just want to spend some time watching a police series that entertains you in a satisfactory way, Lady Devoyeur is a correct choice.

I stuck it out till ep 5 because it has a good story line and it did grab me for a while, but I dont think I could sit through the next 5 episodes because of the sex scenes and the plot getting thicker and thicker and dragging on. Who has that much sex in their life? Who has that much drama in their lives? No one. The men and women are like Ken and Barby and the sexy computer hacker just touches a key and everything is magically opened to her. There is no such thing as security in voyuerland. This is a soap opera like 'Days of our lives'. If you like soapies, watch it. If not, then avoid it like the plague.
