Mentiras desesperadas

This show (actually soap opera) is so good, it catches you with the story and the good acting! It is a good way to start the productions of soap operas for streaming platforms, a short story with much drama (important thing drama with quality and not like some Mexican shows). Brazil has so many good movies and tv shows, so many good actors and actress, comedy and drama are the best in Brazilians productions, and I see that sci-fi is growing in Brazilian productions too.

Anyways you need to give this show a try, and if you can try to watch with subtitles, the voice in the acting matter a lot...they're great actors. I hope we can see more Brazilian shows after this one trending in US and in the world Recommendations for you: 3% (Tv shows, Netflix) Good Morning, Veronica (Tv show, Netflix) Girls From Ipanema (Tv Show, Netflix) Invisible City (Tv show, Netflix) DOM (Prime Video) City Of God (movie) Central Station (Movie Second Mother (Movie) Bacurau (movie)

Thjs story is just amazing. So many twists. The writer did such a great job telling this story and connecting the characters. The acting waa superb. The entire cast were committed! The drama never got or gave boring. The powerful messages in it can change lives. I didnt mind that it had 17 episodes at 45mins i like having shows i can keep watching overtime everything is not about binge watching overnight these days. Everything isnt microwave quality. This could have been a film thats how good it is. Well done! Can't wait to see more from Miss Chavez. This was DEEP. Much appreciated.

Kia. Rosee.

This series is incredibly well-written and directed, with a great cast! Overall an amazing production which kept me hooked from start to finish. A Brazilian telenovela at its best!

The series tackles difficult and dark themes such as sexual assault, misogyny and discrimination. It shows different kinds of abuse that women suffer from men (including their supposed "friends" and even their husbands), from gaslighting to date rape. It also deals with the guilt and shame that a woman may feel after being sexually assaulted, which may last years and even decades.

Another important theme explored in the series is ableism, which is reflected in a secondary plot. The scenes involving this character are very sensible and the actor (who has the same condition as the character in real life) did an amazing job.

The ideas were good but it's unnecessarily long. 17 episodes is way too much for a single season. The storytelling is also very bad compared to what it could be. You're challenged to believe is so many coincidences throughout the story that made it very hard for me connect with. Like all characters are connected somehow through some unrealistic coincidences. On top of that, it's same old of a typical brazilian show that a couple who fell in love with each other are separated by another couple who want each of them to be with the main couple and then the villains form another couple...for some reason storytellers from Brazil can't get away from this structure in most cases. Besides the main couple and the sister-in-law, I think most acting was 'meh'.

Brazilian tv series thought I would give it a go as it was dubbed into English. The premise of the story being unusual as a woman gave birth to twin boys but from different fathers not even sure if it is possible to conceive from 2 different men on different occasions producing 2 sons. However regardless that makes for a very interesting story given the relationship between the parties involved. The main gripe I have is the bizzare decisions that unfold from this a lot that would just seem mad even from the craziest people but I guess they had to make a story of it I am on episode 7 the sons are around 11 funnily enough the adults don't seem to age at all and they all look exactly as they did pre birth. Not sure where this story is heading as it has 17 episodes for me it comes across more of a Soap Opera style series which is fine if your into that kind of show.
