Sintonia

Even though I am not Brazilian I watch the show with English subtitles and read it while the actually Brazilian audio is on. Also this show depicts some of what real people and kids have to go through.

Don't bother with the negative comments. Of course this series is far from great, but is entertaining. You would have some idea of how the things work in favela. In brazil most of people have the "mutt syndrome". It means that these people always find better the things in another country than brazil. For example. Change this actors for some teenage american actors, then change the city from São Paulo to New York, finally change the funk for hip hop and I bet this series will have at least 7,5 on imdb.

7,5/10

A contemporary view of São Paulo youth living in low-income communities where financial opportunities are scarce. The main characters are 3 slum clichés: a drug dealer, an evangelical and a "funkeiro" - singer of Brazilian funk music. The characters are likeable and the story is interesting.

This series started out great with interesting stories and characters. What ruins the series is all the religious nonsense. They should have made a much better path for "Rita". They clearly show that the church and priest is all about the money, but there is nothing more to it... "Rita" is portrayed as smart, but she still falls for the religious nonsense and that is just wrong

Really great series about the life, dreams and problems of some friends in a Favela in São Paulo. Binge watched it in one evening.
