Dom

Booooooorrrrringgggg. Wooden characters. Absolutely flop show.

A great way to show the world how Rio de Janeiro works.

Hot story line & you won't feel bored at all.

Victor character is very strong..

This review is based on season 1 and 2. Good series in general, but without a doubt the first season stands out, it is the best!! The second season seemed too unrealistic and somewhat heavier to me.

The story is very well told and edited and the action is fantastic, all the actors in general seem very good to me. I do not recommend it to anyone under 18 years of age, and even so, I would think about it, it is quite strong, a looot of drugs and violence.

The series almost falls into a mini soap opera environment at times, but not entirely because the story between Pedro Dom and his family must be told in detail, especially the relationship with his father. So..This mini soap staff didn't bother me, and the exciting moments of action, chases and tension exceed the familiar and necessary dialogues, especially at the beginning of the first episode, .... give the series the chance it deserves!!

I must also highlight the photography of the beautiful beaches of Brazil, they give us that necessary break between scenes and transport us to the atmosphere of vacations on the beach.

I especially recommend the first season, very exciting and beautiful story, a great combination!

Very good plot, based on a true story, exceptional acting especially Gabriel Leone who plays Pedro Dom. Pedro Dom the head character is intelligent, grew up with his family outside of the favela, but he's hungry for more and doesn't know fear, due to something missing in his brain. He's comes from a good family, but is attracted to the favela. His best friend is from the favela and from a young age they start using drugs and Dom lives for adrenaline. Than when he gets older he proceeds to being a criminal and with his tactics robs houses and basically he and his gang mates (women and males) are all greedy, they want more money, more sex and more drugs.

The series also is about the father that cares for his son (Pedro Dom) and tries to help him get off drugs. You'll also see the father when he was younger and gets dragged into a secret mission as a diver and after that goes undercover in the favela in the 1970's and becomes close to a drugslord. You basically see the war on drugs and the father is part of that.

Overall, it's a good series and a big bonus is also the behind the scenes videos on Amazon prime, so you'll understand the story and characters better.
