Irmandade

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

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

One of the best series made in Brazil, with a great ending and so surprising the plot, I thougt it was going to be a jail series more, but not, Great acting and direction!!

Another great series from O2 Filmes (the same producer company behind the classic film "City of God") focused on social issues in Brazil with a high production value and an entertaining thriller plot.

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.
