I haven't read the book it's based on, but Rivers of Fate completely drew me in. Dark, raw, and emotional. It captures both the brutality and strength of human nature. The performances are outstanding and even though I just finished it, it already left a strong impact. Not an easy watch, but definitely worth it.

This gorgeous piece goes to those who can identify reality through action , more than words. I haven't read the book..so am not qualified to comment on adaptation.

Solid synopsis, good acting, exceptional cinemography, praiseworthy direction. This is a show that viewers will just tag along characters and enjoy the rollercoaster experience.

Awareness induced through action , almost like in comic strips.

"Pssica" has a promising beginning. I like the first episode, which is truly interesting and engaging. However, the series lacks good writing and technical refinement. For example, despite being a Brazilian production, the series feels like a dubbed film because the director or someone from the production team decided to use ADR.

Dubbing is inherently extremely problematic; no serious director likes working with ADR, and "Pssica" is an example of why direct performance capture on set is superior to ADR. But beyond the technical problems, "Pssica" lacks good screenwriting, starting with the characters' accents, which are forced and don't reflect the reality of the people of Pará. They could have done extensive research, but they prefer to rely on their own superficial understanding of the city. But that's not the biggest problem with "Pssica"'s script. Some dialogue conveys interesting ideas, but they're underdeveloped and delivered in a blatant and flippant manner. Sometimes I get the impression this script was written by a teenager who grew up watching HBO series and is trying to copy the style, but without the education and sophistication of HBO's writers. The worst part of the series is the sensationalism surrounding the violence. Like almost everything else in the series, it's portrayed in a flippant and forced manner, to the point of disgust. The series uses violence almost as the "basis of seriousness," but even this becomes pathetic and flippant. I held back from laughing at many scenes, they were so forced. In the end, "Pssica" serves as proof of Brazil's spiritual decadence. I feel sorry for the poor souls who watch this and feel the show's disgust, yet out of sheer ignorance believe in its value. The value of "Pssica" is psychological, because "Pssica" is not just a bad series, it is the reflection of writers and directors, that is, the collective psyche of Brazil is sadly connected to this decadent work.

This show is a dive Into Brazil's North culture ... It happens in Belém in the state of Pará ... It follows Janalice,Mariangel,Preá and Zé do Boi on a criminal adventure where human traffik,ra*e,armed robberies,murders and revenge take the narrative .

I binged the whole series in one day,is just 4 episodes so its easy to do it.

I've never read the book so I didn't have anything to say about the adaptation... But it's a hell of a Ride and defenitly worth watching .

Pssica completely captivated me. From the very first scene to the last moment, it's electrifying in its pace and atmosphere. The characters are deeply rooted in the culture of northern Brazil, making the story feel authentic and powerful. It bravely explores a delicate yet vital subject, one that deserves to be debated. I'm watching it for the second time, and it still feels just as intense, necessary, and unforgettable.

Rivers of Fate gives us a glimpse into the dark underbelly of organized crime and sex trafficking in the northern regions of South America. The story-line takes the viewer on a raw hard hitting, emotionally draining, yet powerful journey, into this dark and brutal side of human decadence and depravity.

Overall the acting and cinematography is well executed, drawing you in and keeping you enthralled with it's electrifying pace and unexpected climactic end.

Not complicated, even in its interwoven plotlines. But so well done in its acting, cinematography and editing, that those interwoven plotlines quickly come to a boil at the end of each chapter-so effectively that you're both exhausted and exhilarated.

The subject matter is dark, though, and portrayed fairly bluntly. This isn't some mindless bubblegum to bingewatch. It's more something you'll feel like you've witnessed firsthand.

You'll be simultaneously shocked and drawn in by the raw portrayal of a completely different world, unless you happen to be from the riverine mazes of coastal northern Brazil.

Give it a watch. It's easily among the best on Netflix.
