Mirada indiscreta

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.

No pun intended of course. The international title being quite ... well sassy I suppose. The show itself being steamy to a point (with some nudity), but also full of cliches too. There's so much backstabbing and so many twists your head will surely not sit right after watching this (and no I did not call you Shirley).

That all being said, I've seen better but also worse thrillers. Don't expect this to be too titilating I suppose or too clever for that matter. Actually after episode 1 you can almost skip to the last episode - because you get a recap of almost everything important anyway - with an explanation ... if that helps ... still you have to dig the premise and all that ... otherwise you will be bored I assume.

Lazy writing. The series follows a "50 Shades of Grey" kind of formula where the plot and characters are poorly developed and are there just to unsuccessfully connect a bunch of mediocre erotic clips while some random music plays in the background, completely leaving aside the thriller proposal.

Even if you forget about it and just try to give a chance to the erotical foccus of the series, Lady Voyeur also fails in delivering a good experience: the bad acting, misplaced catchphrases and the constantly attempts to create a sexual tension between the characters (almost every scene, even in the most akward situations) results in secondhand embarrassment only.

An ultimately silly and repetitious series feature one gorgeous woman after another. While I was drawn in at first, the writing's mediocrity became quickly apparent. It doesn't make sense that the protagonist, presented as THE voyeur, herself enjoys normal sex...a lot! To title a series after a pathology would do better to focus on it, otherwise it has no essential function to character development, only to launch the ho-hum plot, whose dreary, predictable coincidences seem contrived as opposed to spicy. Watched two episodes in one sitting, realized the next day that any residual curiosity had totally vanished. Note to self: visit Brazil soon on a "business trip", send wife on cruise with her friends. Just kidding, but those women ARE beautiful.

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.
