Maldivas

I always wanted to watch a português series because I am learning português....so i started to search on google about good brazilian shows on Netflix and saw Maldivas!!! I saw it and Wow!!!! I forgot about the learning português but i could only pay attention to the characters in this series. Everyone has a different essence. I love the plot. Every character was justified. This is a light mystery very subtle but engaging. Just like sex and the city meets agatha christie!!

When Manu Gavassi (Milene) left Big Brother, the singer, who made everyone laugh saying she wanted to be a villain, confessed she wanted to make her own series. The brazilian nation, already captivated by her charisma and marketing skills, smiled happily when Maldivas was announced. Knowing that Bruna Marquezine would be in this project with her friend increased fans expectation about the show.

I admit I was skeptical. After so many bad brazilian series, not only on Netflix, I was raised knowing our way of making TV. But I also knew Natalia Klein talent way before Manu started singing. The screenwriter and narrator already had my heart.

This show is good because of the ideas, the lines, the small details and because, instead of a didactic novela style, it fits in a worldwide known genre. You won't be surprised by the plot, the raised questions will certainly be guessed quickly. But you will laugh and enjoy - and if you are brazilian you will get more jokes.

Manu gavassi is the ultimate star of the séries, her character is incredibly captivanting. And the creator Natália Klein shines. Season 2 needs to come soon.

The cast is incredible. Bruna Marquezine being daughter of Vanessa Gerbelli is so nostalgic for brazilian people. Manu Gavassi is amazing as Milene and Natalia Klein is a great producer. So good! I already want season 2!

It's a quirky tv show to binge watch in your spare time. Plus it's always nice to see Bruna Marquezine and Manu Gavassi on screen! Even though the plot isn't flawless and you can't expect much, it's still comical, refreshing and worth watching. There's room for a second season as many questions are left unanswered, i hope they will renew the series for another season. If you are in the right mood for a soapy Brazilian drama i recommend it, but don't have high expectations. Maybe one of the problems of this series is that there are too many plotlines to be developed well, but it's full of drama, gossip and secrets.
