Na Estrada com o Ex

The perfect comforting watch balancing the fun of rom com traditions as well as offering a depth to the characters in its exploration of trust and boundaries in relationships as well as the intricacies of friendships and communication.

I thought the acting was class, genuine and heartfelt where each character was hatable, likeable, lovable and hilarious ! And it helps that they were dependably aided with a witty yet equally thoughtful script. It had everything that one would hope for from a Rom com, light and heartwarming and the right about of cheese. Definitely recommend this one to put a smile on your face! I'm left wondering what these characters are doing next ...!

If you've got a few hours to spare, you can give it a go. It's got some decent story, sort of likeable characters, and a little bit annoying choices with a pinch of rom-com clichés. If that's your type of series, then I would definitely recommend watching it. The humor is lighthearted, and while some of the twists feel predictable, there's enough charm to keep you engaged. The chemistry between the leads is enjoyable, even if it occasionally feels forced. Overall, it's a fun, easy watch that doesn't take itself too seriously and leaves you feeling entertained. Perfect for a lazy weekend binge!

Definitlely recommend watching this show - especially if the rom com genre is the one for you. It feels like a bit of a throwback to the classic rom com era. Overally the show is a really characterful series which you can binge very easily. Emma Appleton is fantastic as the female lead and the supporting characters are very good, there are also some great cameos throughout. The episodes are funny and there's some great humour sprinkled keep you entertained and engaged. The series itself is really nicely shot and there are some unexpected but really great twists as you go through. Highly recommend!

NOT a comedy... all romance and drama... It's a Rom-Dram, not rom-com.

I agree with other reviews. The lead male chracter was cast poorly. The actor just has little or no precense on screen. And offers no connection to the female lead. There's no chemistry, no spark, there.

The "atmosphere" is often on suited to comedy.. but the script just isn't there for comedy. Most of the scenes are over-emotional dramatic scenes... with VERY brief interludes to fill in gaps.

It's also one of those stories that start with story (A).. but that story is largely dependent upon the past.. so the series seamlessly jumps from time period to time period.. showing scenes of the present mixed with scenes from the past.. and the viewer is to determine which is which (that's not difficult). I often feel this "weaving" technique is used because if the story were told from A to B, rather than A, B, A, B, A, B, A , B... it wouldn't be that interesting.

Ultimately, even with the time swapping, this series just wasn't very engaging for me. I could not possibly care less about the overly abundant angst revolving around the relationship between these two main characters.. and THAT is all this series is about. And it just isn't funny anywhere.

Loved this show. The story is about two ex partners being thrown together on a trip to a friends wedding - joined by some great company (for the viewers if not for the characters). Flashbacks to how they met and the increasingly complex reasons for the breakup ensue. The show reflects the complexities of relationships and friendships without being too earnest- something a lot of romcoms fail to do. Throw in a great soundtrack, stunning scenery and strong performances and you have a great show.

Great use of flashbacks as the initially unthinkable chemistry between the leads is explained so you are fully rooting for them by the end. Lots of fun but also has some good themes. Does the trick perfectly for its genre and I binged it in a day.
