Der Mechanismus

It is a decent show with a good and well worked theme. Has its flaws on direction, dialogues and some major scenes but nothing too bad.

The deal with the 10/10 and 1/10 reviews are majority 'political war', with not much sense since the series don't take a political sides as corrupted (not everyone can see it, unfortunately).

Don't watch it thinking you're going to see the next 'The Wire', but definitely worth watching if you wants to know (the romanticized) corruption of Brazil.

The series tells the story of an investigation from the federal police and the judiciary system from Brazil called Lava-Jato (Car Wash in english). This investigation has showed how deep the corruption is on brazilian government. Many supporters of the Worker´s Party are saying the series is biased. Yes, it is, but it doesn't run away of criticizing the other side also. So, watch the series and search the internet to form your opinion. There are good sources from both sides. At least you will understand why brazilian people would always joke about how House of Cards was soft in comparison to brazilian politics.

A great series, which shows all the corruption installed in Brazil in recent years. Only those who have pet thugs, and we know who owns them, complains about the series. Usually people against capitalism, but loves Netflix with a Coke on the side. Brazil is rotten with corruption and we know who the culprits are and the series shows this well.

Incredible political thriller based on the current situation in Brazil. More instigating than House of Cards.

It shows the reality behind the scenes of the politics of the largest South American country and how it is fought.

Padilha understands deeply the reality of the country and knows how to adapt it to the fiction. Unfortunately, sometimes, the reality here is worse...
