Turn of the Tide

I'm not gonna lie, my expectations were really low but I was still curious about it, I start watching it and the story was just too addicting to just stop in the first episode, the more you watch, the more you wanna watch. It's a great feeling I haven't felt in a while! If you are into kind of thriller slightly dark humor vibe with a lot of profanity, I really recommend you take a look at this. Enough to say that the story is actually part real, part fiction... Just like titanic... The events are real but the story itself is not, but actually I was surprised of how accurate the show came out to be to the real event that took place in Azores. I was also surprised by the quality of the visual effects and editing, besides some art choices, and dialogue comparing the budget of this show compared to some mainstream shows. I would totally recommend to see it!

This is an amazing show-a tour de force of writing, acting, directing, filming, story-telling. The plotting is remarkable, in that it unfolds as it must have had to, but is surprising at every turn. It is a series fully aware of itself in the history of such movies as it mentions-Dirty Harry, Carlito's Way, even Matrix-but never derivatively. It's rammed with life, history, local and world culture. It's wicked and delightful all along, and every single performance, every line of dialogue and voiceover narration, hits home with the viewer and with the characters in the action. It's themes of poverty, the will of God, and the motives that animate the human condition suffuse every scene and shot and situation. Great too is the the use of language-Portuguese, Italian, English-and of the actors who move in and out of them as they work out their fates.

Loved this show so much I wanted to rewatch it right away over and over again!! 😁 Gongratz to all the people who worked on this show!! It was so beautiful to watch and so exciting!! Every episode was so engaging it grabbed my attention and didn't let go!! From the start the characters brought the viewer onto that island and kept us all entertained. It was really refreshing to watch and the most beautiful part is where it was filmed: in the azores! Such beautiful place! Every scene with natures , the mountains and ocean all around them were breathtaking! I totally recommend everyone to watch!! Have fun!

A top-notch cast, brilliant plot, excellent realization. Finally a Portuguese product of such quality. All those involved deserve congratulations and it's a giant step forward for Portuguese television.

Pepe Rapazote proved once again to be a high-flying actor and made the series even more interesting when he started to appear. José Condessa played the role of the protagonist excellently. The entire cast was very well chosen, and well played in having given the Italian role to Marcantonio Del Carlo.

The town of Rabo de Peixe is very well represented and makes you want to visit the filming locations. The whole island was very well used for the filming. I can't wait for the second season.

Rabo de Peixe is a true gem that effortlessly captures the spirit of community, resilience, and hope. Set in a picturesque Portuguese fishing village, this captivating series weaves together multiple narratives, delving into the lives of well-developed characters who feel like real people. The attention to detail in the set design and cinematography immerses us in the vibrant world of Rabo de Peixe, while tackling important social issues with grace. With top-notch direction and production values, this must-watch series creates an unforgettable viewing experience, portraying the strength of community and the power of dreams.
