"Morangos Com Açucar" only functions with cliché lines and cliché situations. Season after season, the storyline remains the same only with new actors, replacing the previous ones with identical characters.
The basic plot suits the basic actors and the even more basic audience.
Every ten minutes, some political/social message is said without having a direct relation to the situation. Two characters may be having a discussion and out of thin air, the subject of recycling is brought up. Once there was a dialog between a main character and an extra, solely for the purpose of indicating to the young audience that smoking is harmful to our health.
The editing is beyond any doubts, the worst I've seen. Part of the problem is the fact that certain scenes were written and shot without the writer and director applying something called "logic". I've seen a boat chase in which they've actually shot the scene alternating between a static and a moving boat.
Another poor thing which is a result of a poor script and editing, is the fact that characters speak in a specific order, without overlaying the others:
A - "Did you know that he stole the money?"
B - "Really?"
C - "Is that so?"
D - "This is bad..."
E - "Are you serious?"
F - "That can't be..."
And every time a character speaks, there's a close up paired with an annoying post production sound. How annoying...
In four seasons, there is only one good thing I've seen in this show: at some point we could relate to the female antagonists and protagonists.
