The Great Robbery of Brazil's Central Bank

If all Brazilian TV documentary's are made like this one has been, I will never watch another one from that country!

It was dull as dishwater in the way it was told and presented and, was made worse by a competing double soundtrack of both Brazilian and English languages. Why didn't Netflix turn the original Brazilian audio levels down, 50% at least, so that the English dubbing audio could be heard clearly; also there was continuous incidental background music that was so loud it made the audio clarity even worse.

The only undeniably clear truth anyone will get from this is how evil and corrupt many Brazilian police are (I have known this for years as I have watched a great deal of documentary films about their corruption, killings of people etc. Etc)

The story is told in an awful fashion that makes you bored with it after about 10-15 minutes so, you are dreading possibly watching parts 2 & 3. It could have done with being cut to a 1hr:30mins film as it felt way too long and everything dragged out and repeated.

A great real crime story that could be told in 45 minutes takes 3 episodes of redundancy, is an ego trip for cops and thieves and withbtge excuse of being a documentary left the viewer with no other option to sit through unending monologues. There is no assesment on the script. Both cops and robbers just let their imagination go nuts and said whatever they suppose they have to say.

The viewer is left alone with an ocean of info and no critical view of the facts, the characters or the force of order.

There is also a total lack of context. It seems that they are actually afraid to deliver a comprehensive picture of the facts.

I can't believe that Netflix couldn't invest into a better English translation. Why would you layer English translation over the original Brazilian Portuguese??? Stopped watching it after few minutes cause It was really hard to focus on English then there's a simultaneous background voice going on!

This show is the kind of programme I'd choose to watch. Unfortunately after five minutes I had to give up because of the awful dubbing/voiceover.

Instead of muting the original narration, Netflix have just added an English speaking voiceover to play over the top of the original. Hence the echoey, annoying noise that you hear play out.

It may be a good show, but it's unwatchable for me as it is.

The first 20 minutes of the first episode is basically a police officer explaining that a tunnel starts with a hole and when you get to the other end and there is no more tunnel one can assume that it stops there.

Next 20 minutes is flashbacks where journalists recalls answering their mobile phone the morning the robbery was discovered.

This is just a filmed podcast where everything is dragged out to infinity to fill the episodes. Boring interviews: 90 % The same still photos taken at the crime scene: 10 %.
