Pedaço de Mim

Globo aesthetics, with a lot of mistakes taking into account current state-of-the-art on series productions. For example, soundtrack doesn't match Brazilian cultural mainstream at the mid-2000s. Also, when someone sings, fake ambience is applied with autotune. Tomás and Oscar characters are poorly depicted, in a Manichaean way when their personality should be nuanced, and vice-versa. Plot twists are erratic to the detriment of character construction or, on the other hand, most characters aren't developed at all and don't get any depth even after a lot of episodes. Sadly, the plot has a good starting point, but it couldn't get rid of the "novela" aesthetics.

The idea is good, the fact its based in a true story validates it...but...

TERRIBLE STORYTELLING.

Excessively long, 17 episodes to tell what? We needed 17 in Game of Thrones not in this.

So many better ways to portrait the handling of the situation. To improve the story.

Just a sequence of poor decision making, poor dialog, poor explanations.

AND WHATS UP WITH THE ABSURD EXCESSIVE BLUE PROPS in the tv show? A dozen blue items in every single scene. Just too much. OK, colors communicate but do it in a sutil way.

Everything is blue.. blue pacifier, blue shirt, blue wall, blue pans, blue dishes, blue stuff in the table, blue book, blue skies, blue everything. Annoying and distracting.

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'.

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.

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.
