Irmandade

Brotherhood was a great surprise. Had to stick through first two episodes for the plot to thicken and grab my attention. Highly recommend!!

Fast paced, vibrant thrilling script with many twist and turns. Well defined wrought characters. It contrives events in the last two episodes to give way to a second season

Movies like Tropa d'elite and Ciudade de Deus are one of my favourites, with the raw Brazilian mentality and how hard life can be over there. If you like those kind of movies, you'll like this series too. Irmandade - the Brotherhood - is a terrific show with a great depiction of the mismanagement of Brazilian prisons. It also shows the great strength of people - if they are well organised - who want to fight aforementioned injustice. Very well told with some surprising twists.

I'm Brazilian, I grew up in the hood of São Paulo in the 90's that's why I don't have any doubt how natural and realistic that series sounds. Cast are good almost great especially some of its captivating characters. Story are between excellence/great but I hope they can improve it even more next seasons.

You can breathe the tension and feel mentally tortured with all decisions of each character, see the dirty underground world of São Paulo.

Enjoy the story while you try to figure out how to scape from the hell that only corruption, social inequality, extreme violence and crime can bring to you.

This is a very good show right from the 2nd episode you get into it . If you're a fan of prison shows then this is great . This show doesn't praise the bad guys but rather shows us a corrupt judicial system in Brazil . It makes you think whether bad guys are really the bad guys or just made to be by a corrupt judicial system
