Back to 15

As luck would have it, I found this series while scrolling through the Netflix recommends. As someone who loves a time travel plot, this unfamiliar Brazilian show caught my attention. Now the first surprise comes from the fact that no one in the United States came up with this idea hence why there's an English dub for the American viewers watching. I don't mind it at all. The next surprises comes at how well the show is structured using the protagonist and her photo website as the time travel plot element. The acting isn't bad, maybe the voice over for the English dub was hit or miss, but interested to see how this story progresses in another season or few!

Show starts with a cliche "if you could go back to your teen years what would you change?" premise and develops it in a funny, quirky way. You have your time travelling hijinx, accidentally making references to future, being frustrated by old technology (how did we ever live with this?". But it's also heartwarming, deals with more emotional aspects, personal growth....

Some futures seem to have been done more with an eye for humour and having our heroine learn her lesson about meddling too much and for wrong reasons.

In some.scenes people overact and act too dramatic and awkward situations are overdone, but overall a highly enjoyable series.

Surprisingly good series about Anita, a 30 year old single trainwreck, who logs into her high school days photos online, but doing so she finds in 2006 at age 15, suddenly see an opportunity to change some wrongs in her life, but will she, or mess it up?

A delightful show, for teenagers and adults who remember what it's like being a teenager. The cast really perform well nobody stands, even the girl playing young Anita, she lights up the moment when ever she's on camera. I'm excited for more episodes.

A very charming show with strong dual leads in Maisa and Camila Queiroz. Though the show may appear to be "nostalgia bait," it has strong, emotional storylines about family, adolescence and what it is to be your own person. There's the usual romantic plots that are melodramatic, but its teenagers and it never feels overly convoluted. The six episode seasons are snappy, though it occasionally feels too fast in regards to secondary character stories. Coming at this from someone unfamiliar with Brazilian pop culture, in 2006 or now, there are certainly references I miss but it is enjoyable to find new music or shows.

If you want something with heavy sci-fi or a strong understanding of how the time travel works, this is not the show for you. Or at least manage your expectations. This show utilizes it's time well, has good performances from all the cast, a compelling plot, and great music. Though the English dub isn't bad, I highly recommend the original Portuguese track with subtitles. Perfect show to binge over a weekend.

Its amazing series i really enjoyed it the critics are making smt of what this show isnt based on realisam ora maturity and coz of that it works very well the season 2 was also amazing and then end leaves for whatever end the viewer want to imagine for me it was Car and Dugles Anita and Fabio as couples end game The charcter development for Fabio from season 1 to the season 2 was amazing absolutely love it and they changed him as a love intrest so that worked. I wish there was more of the story not the time travle but how it naturlly plays out how they finish high school and get on with their lives it was fun to watch it and would love more high school well made shows with plenty of charters plots goals.
