Resumen
Reviewers say 'The Mechanism' elicits polarized reactions, with praise for its depiction of Brazilian corruption and criticism for alleged political bias. Some find it a well-crafted, engaging series highlighting Brazil's political scandals, while others claim it distorts facts and serves as propaganda. Technical execution and performances receive appreciation, but political affiliations influence extreme ratings. Viewers are advised to watch with an open mind, considering its fictionalized disclaimer.
Opiniones destacadas
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.
Just reading through the different reviews here and you can get an idea how the audience is divided (or lost) accusing the series of being biased to the left or right political parties propaganda. But this is because the country's population is divided and blinded now and cannot see anything beyond their political parties agenda and ideologies
What the series show in reality, specially in the second season, is that corruption in Brazil dates as far as democracy and that, unfortunately, it is not an exclusivity of the left or right parties, but all over the country's political system.
But by doing this, saying everybody is corrupt, it fails to please both sides interests, because if corruption is all over it, there are no victims or villains, everybody is to blame.
But contemporary Brazilians are unable to see this, just because the polarization is convenient for both sides, and politics became passion, just like soccer in Brazil, with supporters hating and accusing each other all the time, unable to see or recognize their own team mistakes.
As for the series quality, it is a quite enjoyable well crafted and well acted series, although it lingers the events a little too long sometimes for dramatic purposes, or the lack of new events in the Car Wash operation.
Watch it with an open mind and get over your own political convictions.

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.
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.
