Vingança Sabor Cereja

There are "David Lynch vibes". Lost highway, maybe Mulholland drive. In my opinion, it's got nothing to do with Cronenberg.

90's /early 00's aesthetic. Weirdness, witchcraft, multi-layered characters. Catherine Keener is magnificent. If you are into bizarre mystery movies with horror elements and a few funny scenes, you will like this.

Nevertheless, there are downsides. The ending is not bad, but it's not very good/cathartic either, it feels like a mid season finale.

You also don't feel much tension, you don't feel 100% the horror and the agony of the characters , it's a little bit superficial and shallow. Maybe this was exactly the creators' choice, lighten up a bit. If so, it's not a bad choice, but i would prefer it darker.

To sum up, it keeps your attention right to the very end and it's entertaining. I am glad i watched it and i would like to see a second season.

It's SO DIFFICULT to find stuff done like this that is not half-measured, watered down or censored to impotency.

This series is surreal horror in the vein of Cronenberg, Kafka and Burroughs, and it's done RIGHT.

The cast is SPECTACULAR, the effects are top notch and the overall design is perfect. Yeah, it's weird, really weird. But it's totally grounded in great dialog, a completely digestible story and a surreal mind bending plot.

If you're looking for PG screamfest, this isn't it. But this is SO much better than this sort of thing has been for years. And it does not fall off as it goes.

Eighty-six stars.

What I first liked about it is that is is so STRANGE. I think it's the most freakiest show I've watched ever. It's so weird and colorful and full of amazing acting. I love a good revenge story, but the addition of witchcraft, and 90's Hollywood? Where do I sign?

It's always nice when something new comes along. They need to take more chances like this. It's not anything extraordinarily crazy but it is a new take on older things. The acting is done well and the characters keep you interested in wanting to know what is going to happen to them. It's a darker tone with just a little bit of humor thrown in very rare which is nice because it doesn't have a confusing tone. It's only trying to be one thing and that's what it is. I myself was not familiar with any of the actors aside Catherine Keener Who plays her character very well in this. Even not being familiar with the other actors they all seem to be pretty organic and believable. It's definitely not for everyone it has more of a horror tone than anything. But it's not the typical hacker slasher that most stuff seems to be these days. It also has elements of a psychological thriller. If you're looking for something new and different give it a try, I would recommend it.

Starts off really slow and so boring. Then really engaging and super weird and shocking, I was hooked and binged it. Then when it ends? Pointless. Thanks for nothing.
