Mirada indiscreta

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.

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.

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.

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.

The show has various TV-MA scenes but if you can get pass that I would recommend watching it. Once you start watching it at every last few minutes of each episodes it shows partially future events that makes you want to proceed to watch the rest of the episodes continuously to see who's behind it all . It's definitely decent with unpredictable twist and turns To say the least ( it focus mainly on Miranda a voyeur and extremely skilled hacker who spies through her window across the opposite building , who happens to meet a client of the woman she spies on as she watches and cares for her dog in her apartment which leads to her fate changing and a serious of events involving her past and the past of the two men she meets to tangle among other things) . The amount of severe sex & nudity doesn't take away the good twisted plot this show has is worth watching.

Just a side note : Netflix definitely warns about the show and its content as it begins on the top left corner language, nudity, sex, and violence is depicted in this show.
