El reto del beso

Simply put it's just brilliant. It's so so beautiful. The scene with Chico standing by the window is probably the most beautiful scene ever. There's something so feminine in that scene and the moment later when he lays down on the bed. I love that Chico is muscular and knows what he wants instead of the usual small thin guy who's not sure what he wants. And Maurilio! Finally some diversity in the lgbtq+ characters. I probably love this series as much as Sense8. This has younger characters but I don't really mind that. They do an amazing job. Beautiful colours, beautiful music. I'm a bit worried if they can keep this up with the 2nd season (if there'll be one) but I really hope it will be a success as well. There's definitely more to the story than what is being spelled out.

The only reason I gave this a 9/10 and not a 10/10 is because it feels a little bit like what I'd imagine a bad acid trip feels like. The camerawork is incredible, but hurts your eyes sometimes.

It's so so so good. The acting is good. I didn't cringe once.

It's LGBTQ+ representation is absolutely amazing.

And they have uniforms!!!! (No schools have uniforms ever in TV)

I put this show on randomly to pass some time and it ended up as a huge, amazing surprise. Very artsy, unique cast chemistry - great acting too, by the way - and very current, daring themes. I love how simple, yet enchanting, the atmosphere feels. The main characters are amazing and it's not predictable at all. I look forward to many more seasons and more appreciation, it deserves it!

Recently I've been watching lots of YA and teen contents, and I must say this is an astonishing show. In a way is really baroque but contemporary, allegorical but realistic. I'm very curious about how a second season for this is going to be, because now it looks like something in between. And I must say there's a lot of things that completely looks like thought for our times and this was written and shoot before corona virus. Kudos.

We can feel there is a unique Brazilian sauce on it. Besides the looks and acting that is great at most of the scenes, as a Brazilian i could see an amount of refereces to our culture: tipical historical buldings of small Brazilian towns, the wealthy livestoock market and the Power of its owners; Farm employers and employees generation-after-generation relationship. Those aspecs gives it unique shades to a story that is more about brazilian conservatism than about any supernatural desease.
