    SENNA.....He was the best... He is still the best!

    I was still young when the first Formula 1 race came to Hungary... I was there and watched in amazement a black and gold car as a young driver dismissed famous great drivers one after another. I will never forget how I saw in this driver the fighting spirit, the love of racing. I loved him from the first moment... Since 1986 I have been an unwavering fan of Ayrton Senna, the best racing driver the world has ever seen. I saw every race he did after him... I was personally there among the enthusiastic audience at many races. I read every available newspaper article, news, book about him that I could. His accident and death really affected me... I didn't watch Formula 1 racing for years afterwards. In recent years I have started watching Formula 1 races on TV again... It is very different from when he was there. Of course, this is a different generation. I miss the passion, the desire to win, the heroism that I saw in him every minute he was in the car. Ayrton Senna is a three-time world champion. Others may have more world championship titles, but they will never be as iconic as SENNA.

    He was the best... He is still the best!

    Americans should give a try to shows form another country!

    Senna was and still is a hero for Brazil, actually for many people in the world in different countries. The best racer of all time and his story is beautiful, he was a wonderful and respectful man. I am Brazilian and I live in United States, I wish people here watch more productions from other countries...seriously you guys lose so many wonderful stories from Brazil, Norway, France..just because "oh I don't like voiceover...but I don't like read the captions either" this limited a lot. US productions are incredible too but sometimes it's like the same as always. You guys won't retreat to watch other cultures, visions, new worlds! Netflix have a lot of Brazilian productions, it's the 2nd biggest country on Netflix after US.

    Well made and impressively accurate.

    Firstly, while opinions on historical accuracy can vary, one cannot overlook the profound impact Ayrton Senna had on Brazil and its people. Beyond his undeniable talent and charisma on the racetrack, Senna was-and remains-a unifying symbol for a nation often divided by social, economic, and political differences. At a time when Brazil faced immense challenges, he brought hope, pride, and a rare sense of togetherness. Even today, in an era marked by political polarization, Senna's legacy continues to transcend these divisions, making him one of the few figures that all Brazilians can celebrate.

    As for the series itself, it is a masterpiece of storytelling and production. The cinematography, acting, and attention to detail set a new standard for Brazilian series, making it arguably the best ever produced in the country. It captures not just the man behind the wheel, but the cultural phenomenon that Senna became. While dramatization is inevitable in such works, it serves to highlight the emotional and historical resonance of Senna's journey, rather than detract from it.

    Ultimately, the series is not meant to be a documentary but a tribute to a man who inspired millions. It succeeds in evoking the passion, dedication, and human connection that defined Ayrton Senna-a man whose story deserves to be remembered and celebrated.

    Good but not excellent (big Senna fan here)

    The first episodes are excellent, evoking nostalgia and making me cry. The racing scenes, paired with the actor playing Galvão Bueno, captured the magic I felt as a kid. Early on, Senna is shown as human, making mistakes, but once he joins McLaren, he's portrayed almost as a god-like figure, with amusing X-Men-style effects dramatizing his vision on the track. The show misses key elements: Senna's deep friendship with Gerhard Berger is barely explored, and his reconciliation with Prost is weak and inaccurately placed at Imola. Reginaldo Leme, crucial to Senna's early career, is reduced to the background. While nostalgic, it misses opportunities to humanize Senna further.

    The FW16 of biopics

    I call this show the FW16 of biopics because just like the car Senna was killed in, it was good but, umm...

    OK, positives first. By and large, they got Senna's uncompromising nature right, especially by way of illustrating his team principals' exasperation. Attention to detail was brilliant; seeing MP4/4s race sent chills up my spine, but that shot of Senna alone in the briefing room at the end of Suzuka perfectly recreates the ITV shot from 1989.

    I've seen another reviewer say that they story was one-sided. I agree, but then again, so what? The fans who followed the shenanigans in 1989 to 1993 would be familiar with the French Connection, if they didn't outright believe in its gospel truth. This is obviously a show for Senna fans, not Balestre apologists.

    That said, there were a few things that the scriptwriters could have paid attention to:

    1) Including Senna's personal relationships with people like Gerhard Berger and Josef Leberer would have gone a long way to humanising him;

    2) They could have placed much more emphasis on the work Senna put into developing the car - he had a reputation for providing his mechanics with feedback until they begged to go home; and

    3) Donnington 1993 - I can't believe they completely ignored the greatest single lap in all F1 history.
