Good but not excellent (big Senna fan here)
The first episodes are excellent, evoking nostalgia and making me cry. The racing scenes, paired with the actor playing Galvão Bueno, captured the magic I felt as a kid. Early on, Senna is shown as human, making mistakes, but once he joins McLaren, he's portrayed almost as a god-like figure, with amusing X-Men-style effects dramatizing his vision on the track. The show misses key elements: Senna's deep friendship with Gerhard Berger is barely explored, and his reconciliation with Prost is weak and inaccurately placed at Imola. Reginaldo Leme, crucial to Senna's early career, is reduced to the background. While nostalgic, it misses opportunities to humanize Senna further.
