Bom Dia, Verônica

I liked the series a lot. It's so tense and scary.I was on the verge all the time afraid of what might happen next. The show does a great job in depicting abuse both mental and physical. It has a strong female lead who I liked and sympathized. This is a good detective series, one of the best for the last year. It should definitely get more publicity.

Good Morning, Veronica: Veronica witnesses a woman's suicide in her homicide unit and what starts off as an investigation into a conman who drugs and robs women soon takes a grimmer turn. A serial killer is also at work. Noir isn't a dark enough word to describe this Brazilian drama which is replete with disturbing scenes of violence, torture and murder. A tale of conspiracy and police/political corruption stretching back for generations unfolds. Not for the squeamish or faint of heart. Created by Raphael Montes who wrote the novel it's based on. Eight episodes, on Netflix. 8/10.

If anything season 2 of Good Morning, Veronica is even better. The conspiracy deepens as Veronica has to combat a powerful Religious Cult leader with mafia links. The cult runs human trafficking, infiltration of the police and government. Children at an orphanage run by the Cult are trained to fill these positions or become mercenaries, those who don't make the cut are trafficked. Veronica is on the run but she has helpers. Her family and the world at large believe that she is dead. Some horrifying scenes, again not for the squeamish. The constant tension is maintained throughout the narrative as Veronica uncovers more dark secrets. Some of this disturbing hidden history is personal to Veronica. Six episodes on Netflix. 8.5/10.

Just 3 episodes in Season 3 but it neatly wraps things up with yet darker and even more depraved transgressions being uncovered. While the serial killer elements remained throughout the series, the Cultic, conspiracy and corruption tropes involving a perfect intersection of mafia, church, police and politics moved to the foreground. I highly recommend Good Morning, Veronica. On Netflix. 9/10.

Liked it a lot. Heroine was made to be weak at times, strong at others. There has to be room for growth or it will be a one season show

I think this is the best brazilian show on Netflix ever.

I'm not brazilian but if you gonna watch it, keep in the original language!!!

It's so unique, brilliant and goosebumps

Good morning, Veronica is a very nice Brazilian surprise on Netflix. With a good quality script, aided by the excellent criminologist and writer Ilana Casoy, the series features some very credible characters such as the psychopath Brandão and his abused wife, Janete. The direction is convincing, but there is certainly room for improvement. Brazilian crime dramas still suffer a bit, specially in the action scenes and here this can be noticed at times. Not top notch, but good enough. The cast is somewhat uneven. Du Moscovis and Carmila Morgado, in the roles of the problematic couple, are extremely good and convincing. The protagonist, Tainá Müller, feels very restrained and sometimes fails to demonstrate the expected emotions, especially in her family sequences. But she shows some growth throughout the series, improving at the end. Some other actors are ok, but the other policemen and criminals offer nothing more than overacting caricatures, resembling bad characters from soap operas. In general, despite having points which can be improved, it is a very interesting series that is worth watching. Just give it a chance.
