Review of Necrópolis

Necrópolis (2019– )
5/10
Embrace the cringe

This series tries to take a bit from deadpan and absurd humour, which aren't very famous in Brazil, so it's a bit experimental in the ways the cast, the direction and the writing moves. Along episode 6, everything falls into place. It's still subpar, but it goes in the right direction: everything wrong happens to the characters and events unfold with no reason at all, including an almost-paranormal real myth (¿) about a certain famous figure in the country.

Before ditching the efforts of the artists, remember that the first season of The Office US and Parks and Recreation, two masterpieces, weren't well-received either. Of course, they had Ricky Gervais, Michael Schur and Amy Poehler, but no one would be here without encouragement.

{Note for the future: the UK version was well-received since the beginning. If I'm mistaken and this series isn't good in season 2, just dismiss this "review".}
