Senna

It is quite obvious that the Senna - Da Silva family had a hand in this, and a very strict one at that. Senna is described as a saint. He's always kind and nice and puts up with everything that's done to him. That's boring and superficial. There are no conflicts except with Prost and Balestre.

The dialog is so incredibly flat, any daily soap is literature by comparison. I want to be first. He's the best. I'm the fastest. I want to win. But that's dangerous! But I want to win. But you've already won. But I want to win again.

What about Senna's women's stories? That would have had potential. Didn't he have any vices? People like that don't exist. But when his mother is involved in writing the script ...

His parents also come across as saints. Always understanding, always patient, kind, indulgent and noble. Yes, of course.

The action pictures are top-notch, though. Not completely groundbreaking, but very impressive. Especially the sound design was awesome.

For all that say "this is a one-sided story", do you also think Amadeus is a one-sided story? Is also Ford vs Ferrari? Maybe people don't relate because they saw this happen by other perspective, by another narrative. Now think, if your brother go into a fight, would you ever ask him why or would you just jump into it to protect him? That's how I feel now, i don't really care who was to blame back then, i know one thing, that boy watching races in the middle of the night, that boy chanting "Senna Senna", that boy crying because his hero died was also me. I was born few years before he became a F1 champion, and every sunday i was there to watch him racing his life away.

We brazilian watched one of ours becoming the greatest F1 driver of all time, carrying our flag, telling everyone he had all his people in that car, finishing that race in first place. I'm sorry for all those who don't know how it feels to hear out loud from that character named Galvão Bueno saying "AYRTON SENNA DO BRASIL, CAMPEÃO MUNDIAL DE FORMULA 1" ("Ayrton Senna of Brazil, Formula One world champion") and that song that played in the series, played in many of our weekends for some years, a shame it didn't last longer. I, as a little boy, wish it had endured for an eternity. I cried at the end like I cried in 94, my childhood hero has became a myth, who cares if they didn't tell the exact truth, i lived to see it, watching the series made me felt like I had felt back then, and the series brought back all those joyfull and sad emotions.

I was still young when the first Formula 1 race came to Hungary... I was there and watched in amazement a black and gold car as a young driver dismissed famous great drivers one after another. I will never forget how I saw in this driver the fighting spirit, the love of racing. I loved him from the first moment... Since 1986 I have been an unwavering fan of Ayrton Senna, the best racing driver the world has ever seen. I saw every race he did after him... I was personally there among the enthusiastic audience at many races. I read every available newspaper article, news, book about him that I could. His accident and death really affected me... I didn't watch Formula 1 racing for years afterwards. In recent years I have started watching Formula 1 races on TV again... It is very different from when he was there. Of course, this is a different generation. I miss the passion, the desire to win, the heroism that I saw in him every minute he was in the car. Ayrton Senna is a three-time world champion. Others may have more world championship titles, but they will never be as iconic as SENNA.

He was the best... He is still the best!

Senna was and still is a hero for Brazil, actually for many people in the world in different countries. The best racer of all time and his story is beautiful, he was a wonderful and respectful man. I am Brazilian and I live in United States, I wish people here watch more productions from other countries...seriously you guys lose so many wonderful stories from Brazil, Norway, France..just because "oh I don't like voiceover...but I don't like read the captions either" this limited a lot. US productions are incredible too but sometimes it's like the same as always. You guys won't retreat to watch other cultures, visions, new worlds! Netflix have a lot of Brazilian productions, it's the 2nd biggest country on Netflix after US.

EN Translate: I am a 23 year old Turk and I started watching F1 this season and after seeing that it was a much bigger competition than my favorite sport, football, I started to like it more than football. Then I heard about Senna. I was eagerly waiting for this series to air so that I could get to know him better. I finished the series in one sitting and liked it very much. The acting, the camera transitions, everything was made into an engaging series. Later, when I watched the behind the scenes and saw the cars being made, I realized that I never asked myself where these cars came from. There is an incredible amount of effort in the series. We, the normal viewers, usually don't even notice these things. I may not have written a review for a series before, but I wanted to write for this one. I don't get emotional easily in a series, but I had a hard time holding myself back in this one. You managed to take me into a world I hadn't experienced. You introduced this legend to my generation and maybe the next generations will get to know him thanks to you. Congratulations, you really did a great job.
