    Must Watch

    Rulers of Fortune, the Brazilian telenovela on Netflix. I really loved it. I thought it was... Nowadays, most telenovelas, they kind of suck. You drag on the story, they don't have anything much to say, and it drags on and stuff like that. This one did not drag on. Even though the old telenovelas were like 100 episodes, 150, 200. Somehow, magically, they never dragged on because they found a way to make every episode exciting. And this is the same feeling that this new telenovela gives me.

    MUST WATCH

    Bingewatched it !!!! Rulers of Fortune is an absolute triumph - a bold, electrifying crime drama that showcases Brazilian storytelling at its finest. Every episode is packed with intensity, style, and emotional depth, making it one of Netflix's standout international hits. The performances are phenomenal, the world-building is rich and immersive, and the series balances suspense, heart, and high-stakes drama with remarkable skill.

    It's the kind of show that pulls you in from the first scene and never lets go. If you're looking for a series that feels fresh, powerful, and completely addictive, Rulers of Fortune is an easy must-watch. A thrilling masterpiece.

    Very well done.

    One of the best series I've seen lately - it's on the same level as Narcos and manages to bring a really interesting sense of realism.

    For those who know the reality of Rio, you can really understand the foundation of the series. With each episode, you want more - I think the show needed a few more episodes to further develop the characters. But congratulations to Netflix!

    Amateurish Soap Opera

    Poorly written. Amateurish storyline. So-so acting. A Brazilian Soap Opera disguised as a streaming drama.

    It isn't even good enough to be a guilty pleasure. The characters are caricatures. The only redeeming feature is it makes Rio de Janeiro look glamorous and exciting, as well as, physically beautiful.

    Don't waste your time!

    Well done, Netflix Brasil

    Just the right amount of suspense, without unnecessary dragging or boring secondary characters. Excellent actors, sets that are the very essence of Brazil, and a very well-told story. I watched it like it was a movie. It was so well reproduced I though It was a documentary

    Cant wait for a season 2!
