Bandidos na TV

Now this is how documentaries should be made! The flow is nice and there are many twists. Certainly not biased and let's the viewer decide and best of all it is entertaining. Thank you and thank God I don't leave in Manaus

This series puts you in the judges seat. You are given all the evidence or even lack of it so the question is who do you believe. I personally couldn't make my mind up knowing how corrupted the cops are. The series started out quite promising. There was a of footage and interviews from both sides etc but the episodes started to feel very dragged out and even though I watched 5 of the 7 episodes and I wanted to know what happened next I just couldn't bare another dragged out episode. I decided to abandon the series and just go online to find out what happened. I think just because you have hours and hours of footage, it doesn't mean you have to include everything in the final cut.

Brilliant way to tell a story putting all the perspectives from the characters to the viewer and let them choose what to believe, one of the best Brazilian Documentaries ever made

I never knew about this guy or his TV show. Excellent storytelling and thumbs up for the creators of this documentary. It was very interesting. At the end of the final episode I cannot say if he was guilty or not. I think the truth was somewhere in the middle. What is clear is that the media dramatized everything and the prosecutors exaggerated the accusations. The sad part of everything is that there is a big problem with the corruption and criminality in Brazil. I don't say that every Brazilian is corrupt or a criminal but they have a big problem there and a lot of innocent people suffer because of that.

What a surprise! This documentary was unusually well done: very detailed, mostly unbiased (to my non Brazilian eyes at least) and engaging. Some parts were a bit too long but the pacing was overall good: I really wanted to know more about what happened and the interviews were interesting and not just a boring filler.
