Rabo de Peixe

A top-notch cast, brilliant plot, excellent realization. Finally a Portuguese product of such quality. All those involved deserve congratulations and it's a giant step forward for Portuguese television.

Pepe Rapazote proved once again to be a high-flying actor and made the series even more interesting when he started to appear. José Condessa played the role of the protagonist excellently. The entire cast was very well chosen, and well played in having given the Italian role to Marcantonio Del Carlo.

The town of Rabo de Peixe is very well represented and makes you want to visit the filming locations. The whole island was very well used for the filming. I can't wait for the second season.

Rabo de Peixe is a true gem that effortlessly captures the spirit of community, resilience, and hope. Set in a picturesque Portuguese fishing village, this captivating series weaves together multiple narratives, delving into the lives of well-developed characters who feel like real people. The attention to detail in the set design and cinematography immerses us in the vibrant world of Rabo de Peixe, while tackling important social issues with grace. With top-notch direction and production values, this must-watch series creates an unforgettable viewing experience, portraying the strength of community and the power of dreams.

Amazing story, photography, writing, landscapes, actors and director. I have no words to describe such a great job!!

I feel that Turn of the tide is much more than a story that happened in Azores, Portugal. It could have happened anywhere. Only that it didn't. A group of friends, full of dreams with a lousy life. Improving their lives using all means they can.

In my opinion this is really a good series. The actors are great and the director did an amazing job!

Turn of the Tide is for sure something we will remember many years from now. I strongly recommend seeing it!

Looking forward to season 2!!

In a worldwide perspective it's another gangster/historical/fictional show, which considering the budget, it came out with an excellent result in terms of production.

In a local perspective (as a Portuguese) it's the best in that genre show that we have made. For us, it has all the actors, all the scenes, all the beauty of S. Miguel, attached to one of the most iconic dark event of Rabo de Peixe community that marked a generation, very well fulfilled with a fictional story that "forces us" to want to see more.

For those who complain about the lack of Azores actors, according to Wikipedia there are 8 Azorean actors... I know there are many more irl but why is that such an issue?

Loved every bit of it! It is an addicting show, you can't just Watch one episode, It leaves you wanting more! In my opinion one of the best portuguese shows, portuguese ficcion is outdated to say the least, these guys did an amazing job! Seen some people complain about "excessive swearing" well as a portuguese the swearing felt very normal (unless you're from Lisbon and it scares you😂) portuguese people swear a lot, sorry!! Loved the actors performance even tho I didn't know one or two.

Regarding not using the accent from Azores people really need to understand that not even continentals can understand it, so it kinda makes sense for it to not be predominat with the main characters ( even tho they acc try to say some words) but most of the secondary characters and extras do have the accent ;)
