Buongiorno, Verônica

Liked it a lot. Heroine was made to be weak at times, strong at others. There has to be room for growth or it will be a one season show

American writers & directors should take notes! I've enjoyed the culturally sprinkled series & movies over the years that Netflix offer But the Brazilian series are the most authentic and well acted. Didn't think I would ever give a crime series a 10 (Perfect Score)!

I just finished watching season 2, after watching season 1 over again to remind me exactly what happened.

There are a whole slew of things that happen in this TV series that are simply not plausible. But really, the subject matter, acting, and story are so compelling that it really doesn't hinder the viewer from watching it. Frankly I was spellbound throughout the series.

There are a lot of unexpected turns of events and there is a lot of suspense and drama. Definitely adult subject matter and not appropriate for children. The writers are quite courageous in tackling some difficult topics that many writers may tend to avoid. Don't want to give too many details away. But aside from the in your face abuse of women, this series touches on subjects such as fanaticism, femicide, cultic mind control based abuse, strange cultic religious beliefs and practices, and a plethora of sinister mafia based activity and infiltration of various agencies including police authorities.

Apparently some or maybe a lot of the subject matter is based on real events. It kind of reminds me of Eyes Wide Shut in that people wielding incredible power are doing extreme evil right under peoples' noses or behind the scenes and no one seems to suspect a thing. Or if they did suspect a thing they didn't live very long. Along comes Veronica who gets curious and starts her own investigation which leads her into discovery of crimes that stagger the imagination. In effect going in where angels fear to tread. As each horrific detail is discovered by Veronica, the deeper she gets involved, until she is in over her head. But somehow she musters up the resolve, courage and strength to not give up. She gets help along this hellish journey from some very courageous people.

The number one plus of this series besides the unique story line and suspense is the great acting by Taina Muller and she is a looker too. As others have said her acting itself actually gets better throughout the two seasons. Some of the other acting is somewhat uneven but overall very convincing.

I was glued to my TV to watch every second of it and it really kept my attention on high alert. Which is the mark of an entertaining TV series. Definitely the best thing out of Brazil that I have seen, and rivals many of the best foreign crime dramas from many other countries. The ending looks like it will result in a season 3.

Really good. Worth seeing it! Great direction, acting and photography.

Good morning, Veronica is a very nice Brazilian surprise on Netflix. With a good quality script, aided by the excellent criminologist and writer Ilana Casoy, the series features some very credible characters such as the psychopath Brandão and his abused wife, Janete. The direction is convincing, but there is certainly room for improvement. Brazilian crime dramas still suffer a bit, specially in the action scenes and here this can be noticed at times. Not top notch, but good enough. The cast is somewhat uneven. Du Moscovis and Carmila Morgado, in the roles of the problematic couple, are extremely good and convincing. The protagonist, Tainá Müller, feels very restrained and sometimes fails to demonstrate the expected emotions, especially in her family sequences. But she shows some growth throughout the series, improving at the end. Some other actors are ok, but the other policemen and criminals offer nothing more than overacting caricatures, resembling bad characters from soap operas. In general, despite having points which can be improved, it is a very interesting series that is worth watching. Just give it a chance.
