I never thought I'd find myself so involved by a series of my own vou try like this one. It may be simple, not too shaken, but it is passionate. You need to look beyond what eyes can truly see. Because if you don't, this series is just going to be meaningless, when it actually isn't. I love the soundtrack and the country roots of one of the most poor regions of Brazil, which is the Northeast. It brings a seal and true concept of life not much seen nowadays. Thanks Netflix for such a Relic. All I can hope for now, is that the series gets renewed. It'd break my heart if it didn't. The series really got my tough heart.

I was delighted by this series, swept away by it, the characters, the relationships, and the music. It was a story of friendships, heartaches, and connection that takes us into the stuff of real life, a reminder for me anyway of what really matters in our world. And there's so little of that in our movies and tv series these days that fill us up with stories of disconnection and doom. It was uplifting; I loved this glimpse into Brazil and being told a story, in Portuguese, of life through the eyes and life experiences of Brazilian actors and musicians. I hope they create a series 2 (a final one) to develop a little further the characters' stories, lives and music. So, I say, enjoy everyone, if you live in Brazil enjoy seeing yourselves reflected on your screens, and for people like myself who live far away (Ireland), it was a treat to celebrate another country's creativity.

The music is the highlight of the series, but unfortunately the characters themselves are just missing something. I thought I'd be giving up by the second episode but decided to let it stay as background chatter. There aren't any highs or any lows, for that matter. It's just... dull.

This is through no fault of the actors, but rather just a script problem. If you like slow paced slice of life stories, maybe this one will actually be something you enjoy. And if you're Portuguese speaking, you will absolutely recognise some of the songs throughout the series. Shout out to Eva!

It's so boring I struggled to reach the character limit here because there really isn't much to say.
