New Bandits

Awesome show from start to finish. Instead of rating each episode, I couldn't find a weak one so ill just rate it an overall 10. It had a authentic feel to it. In my honest opinion, it felt like the movie Heat. It great casting, the writing was well done. Each character had their own thing going on but it was just enough time for you to understand each one. Nothing felt rushed. Action, suspense and the writing was legit. You can easily binge all 8 episodes. No cliff hangers really just a plot that has you curious for more. Its has an authentic feel to it so If you're into heist series or movies, this is a must watch!

The cinematography of this show is mind-blowing, for a brazilian show, Prime Video totally got it right. It shows how politics are done far in the smalls cities in Brazil, how they play dirty to accomplish their own goals and make the citizens as their means to get it - and after getting, forgetting them, making the people suffer with poverty, have not water and not a single way to live better cause most of these people are so needy to have something that they are easily bought when the time of elections begin again.

It also brings to the plot the cangaço. There's a known real story lived by Lampeão and Maria Bonita, but the writter and director did such a well done job creating a new story without having to refer to that story. This series deserves a second season - which is already written, but Prime Video has yet to confirm the new season. If they do it, it could easily be one of the best original brazilian shows ever done by Prime. Not even Netflix or Star+ (disney) has a show in this quality. Everything is so well done, there's no plot holes. You can feel the adrenaline while watching. It's not a 10 cause i Want to see the end whe the story is actually over in a new season.

As a northeastern girl, I'm honored to be represented by this series. The way they studied our culture, our language and how everything was so relatable to my reality got me right in the heart, haha For those who don't get the emotion: 99% of the Brazilian productions talk about the southeast, we were completely forgotten even tho we are the real culture of our country.

The cast is amazing, I can say I'm so angry with the maleiros as I am with Bolsonaro! And believe me, that's a loooot.

The cangaço lived in my family and I can say I feel represented with this masterpiece. I'm truly happy to recommend it.

If you are going to watch this series, be prepared to feel a mix of every feeling a human can feel: angry, sadness, joy, anxiety, disgust.

What you will watch is a very stereotypical vision of northeast culture, along with very accurate elements of the day to day life of these fearless, struggling and suffering people. If you can watch this in Portuguese - its original language, you will see how rich, diverse and unique is their vocabulary.

It is incredible to watch the story and growth of Ubaldo, which is the same as a lot of people from Brazil's northeast: they migrate to São Paulo seeking a better life but they struggle there and always end up coming back to their "terrinha".

So interesting to see Ubaldo reganing his own identy, stolen from him when he was just a little boy. Not to mention the strong women on the plot, they own every single scene.

You will get attached to characters with real deep motivations, even though they are cangaceiros, the bad guys.

Stunning production, brilliant performance, and the end leaves mragin to a next season. I did not expect to watch such a well made Brazillian production. Nice one!

I am a big fan of Brazilian productions like "City of God" or series like "The Mechanism", so consequently I've watched this one without knowing anything about this product. I recommend to not read anything about it to enjoy it the most.

First, the series starts super strong. Best I have watched in a long time. Great cast, amazing production, no cheap CGI and enough blood for fans like me that love series like Gomorrah, Zero Zero Zero or as mention before great Brazilian productions like Tropa De Elite.

Second, the script is great for the first 3/4 of the series but suddenly it becomes super predictable if you have watched similar series. I mean anything is perfect so I understand you get out of ideas and you take this from here and something from there, that is obviously done before.

So, overall the experience is excellent and I'm going to watch season 2. This series is on the way of becoming a masterpiece or get out of ideas and become just another one.
