Terra à Venda

I am thoroughly enjoying it. Its not a 10/10 for me but its very funny. The main character just makes the most ridiculous and insane decisions but its funny because it comes from the heart of an entreprenurial spirit. He has the heart and drive of a lion but every decision he makes is just like....you already see how its going to unfold and its like watching a train wreck in real time lmfao - solid show you should watch.

The subject matter of the show was interesting and the acting was all really good but it felt like the writers tried to jam in as many conflicts as possible into every episode. It made it overly stressful and annoying to watch and distracted from the important themes of the show. It could have been much more focused rather than forcing a thousand problems into the plot, all created by the characters' terrible decision making and constant miscommunication. This was a missed opportunity for a show/idea with potential. I eventually watched the whole season but it took a while because I was dreading starting each new stressful episode.

I was very surprised with this Belgian show. A good balance of comedy, drama.

What I really liked is the conflict between an entire community's way of doing things and a young guy trying to bring a change in mentality while facing the pressure of that same community. It shows very well the resistance to a change. Hope there will be a second season.

The plot of the story is original, but not that very interesting. My interest of Morrocan and Islamic culture is the reason I watched this. The show has a good combination of comedy and drama, however I expected it had more moments that made me laughing a lot, but it dissapointed me a bit.

The main characters Smile (Yassine Ouaich) and JB (Ward Kerremans) togheter forms a wonderful and bromantic duo. They have the funniest moments. Also Rachid (Saïd Boumazoughe) made me laugh and is a person you can both hate and love. Brahim (Tom Vermeir) has a strong character and interesting story. But some characters were too unfinished and boring.

The story went a little long-winded and the finale episode of season 1 (the only season this moment) was for me the weakest. I want to know how it goes further with the main characters, so I hope there will come a second and hopefully a better season.

This is one of the better Flemish series to come out of Belgium. Unfortunately, poor editing leads to a lack of continuity and flow in telling the story in a coherent manner. Sometimes, scenes do not follow one another in a continuous manner and this creates gaps in telling the story. In addition, there are too many subplots, some of which start but then appear to be forgotten, leaving the viewer hanging and wondering why the event was introduced or included in the story line.

If there's a second season, it will be difficult to see where the character development would go without the series becoming repetitive and formula driven.
