The cinematography of this show is mind-blowing, for a brazilian show, Prime Video totally got it right. It shows how politics are done far in the smalls cities in Brazil, how they play dirty to accomplish their own goals and make the citizens as their means to get it - and after getting, forgetting them, making the people suffer with poverty, have not water and not a single way to live better cause most of these people are so needy to have something that they are easily bought when the time of elections begin again.

It also brings to the plot the cangaço. There's a known real story lived by Lampeão and Maria Bonita, but the writter and director did such a well done job creating a new story without having to refer to that story. This series deserves a second season - which is already written, but Prime Video has yet to confirm the new season. If they do it, it could easily be one of the best original brazilian shows ever done by Prime. Not even Netflix or Star+ (disney) has a show in this quality. Everything is so well done, there's no plot holes. You can feel the adrenaline while watching. It's not a 10 cause i Want to see the end whe the story is actually over in a new season.

As a northeastern girl, I'm honored to be represented by this series. The way they studied our culture, our language and how everything was so relatable to my reality got me right in the heart, haha For those who don't get the emotion: 99% of the Brazilian productions talk about the southeast, we were completely forgotten even tho we are the real culture of our country.

The cast is amazing, I can say I'm so angry with the maleiros as I am with Bolsonaro! And believe me, that's a loooot.

The cangaço lived in my family and I can say I feel represented with this masterpiece. I'm truly happy to recommend it.

SEASON 1 (4/5)

A great Brazilian show that doesn't shy to be unfair and crude about its depiction of corruption and criminalization. It's a grounded story with some exciting heists and gunfights but the message is clear, nobody wins here when there is no fairness. Some situations are very frustrating as the antagonists can be loud, and immature, and still have a win.

It can be confusing sometimes to follow the characters since despite being clearly there to steal money, take advantage of vulnerable people, and kill anyone who prevents them they are also there to save their city and protect the poor population from corrupt politics. It's not a swift change but seeing the gangsters playing the "good guys" after doing some atrocities at the beginning is maybe too much.

Cangaço Novo (2023), now streaming on Amazon Prime, takes audiences on a captivating exploration of the world of Brazilian cangaço, infusing it with a modern essence that revitalizes the genre.

The series delves deep into themes of loyalty, honor, and the unyielding human spirit in the face of adversity, resulting in an engaging and intellectually enriching viewing experience.

Notably, the show excels in crafting well-rounded characters, fostering a profound connection with each character's motivations and emotions. The dialogues are immersive and enthralling, providing insights into the intricate tapestry of relationships and alliances that define the cangaço way of life.

The exceptional performances by the cast and a dynamic storyline effortlessly seize the viewer's attention from start to finish, making Cangaço Novo a truly compelling and immersive journey.
