Una parte di me

This show (actually soap opera) is so good, it catches you with the story and the good acting! It is a good way to start the productions of soap operas for streaming platforms, a short story with much drama (important thing drama with quality and not like some Mexican shows). Brazil has so many good movies and tv shows, so many good actors and actress, comedy and drama are the best in Brazilians productions, and I see that sci-fi is growing in Brazilian productions too.

Anyways you need to give this show a try, and if you can try to watch with subtitles, the voice in the acting matter a lot...they're great actors. I hope we can see more Brazilian shows after this one trending in US and in the world Recommendations for you: 3% (Tv shows, Netflix) Good Morning, Veronica (Tv show, Netflix) Girls From Ipanema (Tv Show, Netflix) Invisible City (Tv show, Netflix) DOM (Prime Video) City Of God (movie) Central Station (Movie Second Mother (Movie) Bacurau (movie)

Globo aesthetics, with a lot of mistakes taking into account current state-of-the-art on series productions. For example, soundtrack doesn't match Brazilian cultural mainstream at the mid-2000s. Also, when someone sings, fake ambience is applied with autotune. Tomás and Oscar characters are poorly depicted, in a Manichaean way when their personality should be nuanced, and vice-versa. Plot twists are erratic to the detriment of character construction or, on the other hand, most characters aren't developed at all and don't get any depth even after a lot of episodes. Sadly, the plot has a good starting point, but it couldn't get rid of the "novela" aesthetics.

The idea is good, the fact its based in a true story validates it...but...

TERRIBLE STORYTELLING.

Excessively long, 17 episodes to tell what? We needed 17 in Game of Thrones not in this.

So many better ways to portrait the handling of the situation. To improve the story.

Just a sequence of poor decision making, poor dialog, poor explanations.

AND WHATS UP WITH THE ABSURD EXCESSIVE BLUE PROPS in the tv show? A dozen blue items in every single scene. Just too much. OK, colors communicate but do it in a sutil way.

Everything is blue.. blue pacifier, blue shirt, blue wall, blue pans, blue dishes, blue stuff in the table, blue book, blue skies, blue everything. Annoying and distracting.

Well it was way to long and the sex scenes so boring and predictable, but the series was enjoyable, the acting incredible, yes it was melodrama but at its best, you get to love the good characters and hate the bad ones. I was tempted at times to just fast forward some of these episodes but managed to watch all of them and that was mainly because of the characters and the different plot lines. What was incomprehensible and disappointing to me was the reaction of the grandparents to finding out the parentage of the twins -- how mean and stupid can they be! I guess a lot of their reaction was meant to stretch the story line, but still. Over all, like I said, way too long but still good.

The ideas were good but it's unnecessarily long. 17 episodes is way too much for a single season. The storytelling is also very bad compared to what it could be. You're challenged to believe is so many coincidences throughout the story that made it very hard for me connect with. Like all characters are connected somehow through some unrealistic coincidences. On top of that, it's same old of a typical brazilian show that a couple who fell in love with each other are separated by another couple who want each of them to be with the main couple and then the villains form another couple...for some reason storytellers from Brazil can't get away from this structure in most cases. Besides the main couple and the sister-in-law, I think most acting was 'meh'.
