Les Morceaux de notre vie

What could've been a good 3-4 episode miniseries was dragged endlessly on and on for a whole 17 episodes. Yes the story is original and has some interesting ideas, but it was all drowned. In the end I kept skipping the last episodes forward simply because I was already into the story and wanted to see the ending, but couldn't bear the pace. It reminded me of a 2000-episode telenovela.

A lot of the characters weren't believable with their actions. I couldn't sympathise with any of them. There were contradictions and plot holes and lots of unnecessary details as well. All in all, a waste of my time.

Brazilian tv series thought I would give it a go as it was dubbed into English. The premise of the story being unusual as a woman gave birth to twin boys but from different fathers not even sure if it is possible to conceive from 2 different men on different occasions producing 2 sons. However regardless that makes for a very interesting story given the relationship between the parties involved. The main gripe I have is the bizzare decisions that unfold from this a lot that would just seem mad even from the craziest people but I guess they had to make a story of it I am on episode 7 the sons are around 11 funnily enough the adults don't seem to age at all and they all look exactly as they did pre birth. Not sure where this story is heading as it has 17 episodes for me it comes across more of a Soap Opera style series which is fine if your into that kind of show.

Thjs story is just amazing. So many twists. The writer did such a great job telling this story and connecting the characters. The acting waa superb. The entire cast were committed! The drama never got or gave boring. The powerful messages in it can change lives. I didnt mind that it had 17 episodes at 45mins i like having shows i can keep watching overtime everything is not about binge watching overnight these days. Everything isnt microwave quality. This could have been a film thats how good it is. Well done! Can't wait to see more from Miss Chavez. This was DEEP. Much appreciated.

Kia. Rosee.

This series is incredibly well-written and directed, with a great cast! Overall an amazing production which kept me hooked from start to finish. A Brazilian telenovela at its best!

The series tackles difficult and dark themes such as sexual assault, misogyny and discrimination. It shows different kinds of abuse that women suffer from men (including their supposed "friends" and even their husbands), from gaslighting to date rape. It also deals with the guilt and shame that a woman may feel after being sexually assaulted, which may last years and even decades.

Another important theme explored in the series is ableism, which is reflected in a secondary plot. The scenes involving this character are very sensible and the actor (who has the same condition as the character in real life) did an amazing job.

The ideas were good but it's unnecessarily long. 17 episodes is way too much for a single season. The storytelling is also very bad compared to what it could be. You're challenged to believe is so many coincidences throughout the story that made it very hard for me connect with. Like all characters are connected somehow through some unrealistic coincidences. On top of that, it's same old of a typical brazilian show that a couple who fell in love with each other are separated by another couple who want each of them to be with the main couple and then the villains form another couple...for some reason storytellers from Brazil can't get away from this structure in most cases. Besides the main couple and the sister-in-law, I think most acting was 'meh'.
