Kissing Game

A big surprise ! Amazing Brazilian thriller. Hype and vintage like the movie "It Follows".

Far from the clichés of so many Netflix shows, Boca a Boca/Kissing Game surprises several times with its good acting, great music choices and an artistic sense of beauty in the film making. The characters are credible, the action is well paced, and if I can't argue there are some moments that don't make complete sense, over all, the show delivered what I was hoping for. First time I watch a Brazilian show, and it won't be the last.

Recently I've been watching lots of YA and teen contents, and I must say this is an astonishing show. In a way is really baroque but contemporary, allegorical but realistic. I'm very curious about how a second season for this is going to be, because now it looks like something in between. And I must say there's a lot of things that completely looks like thought for our times and this was written and shoot before corona virus. Kudos.

I put this show on randomly to pass some time and it ended up as a huge, amazing surprise. Very artsy, unique cast chemistry - great acting too, by the way - and very current, daring themes. I love how simple, yet enchanting, the atmosphere feels. The main characters are amazing and it's not predictable at all. I look forward to many more seasons and more appreciation, it deserves it!

Simply put it's just brilliant. It's so so beautiful. The scene with Chico standing by the window is probably the most beautiful scene ever. There's something so feminine in that scene and the moment later when he lays down on the bed. I love that Chico is muscular and knows what he wants instead of the usual small thin guy who's not sure what he wants. And Maurilio! Finally some diversity in the lgbtq+ characters. I probably love this series as much as Sense8. This has younger characters but I don't really mind that. They do an amazing job. Beautiful colours, beautiful music. I'm a bit worried if they can keep this up with the 2nd season (if there'll be one) but I really hope it will be a success as well. There's definitely more to the story than what is being spelled out.
