This has been one of the cleverest and most engaging series I've had the pleasure to watch in years. I have a pretty demanding sense of humor, so the fact that this series makes me laugh out loud frequently and has me smiling almost throughout the whole thing is impressive to me. The acting and the cinematography are overall excellent, and the plot is quite original, with lots of witty commentary on the human experience and the strange ways humans organize themselves and act. It also has genuine drama (that is, it doesn't feel artificial or contrived) and many unexpected plot twists that will keep you guessing, and which make this a very engaging watch. Along with Sex Education, it's the only other series I'm looking forward to the next season with bated breath!
To put icing on the cake, the English subtitles are absolutely top notch and convey the seemingly untranslatable jokes from Portuguese into English seamlessly (I watched it in Portuguese with English subtitles on for amusement). Props to the translator(s)!
Please do yourself a favor and give this quirky series a chance! If you're not hooked in by the first episode, then it's probably not for you.
