Morangos com Açúcar

I saw the first season of Morangos com Açucar when I was quite young. And I'm not gonna lie, I did end up watching it throughout. You had decent actors and a great soundtrack.

However, I stopped there. If you look at this show now, you will see a bunch on untalented (but attractive) actors and producers working hard to reenact everyday situations of real students, so that they can relate with the show. Is that really entertainment? This is aimed at teenagers, they say, but anyone with half-a-brain will notice all the clichés, all the mistakes and all the amateurs in this "show". So, in the end, people watching this show are the twelve and thirteen-year-olds of Portugal and even younger kids.

I am truly hoping that this trend will end soon so that teens can get back to their real life rather than wasting their time with this junk.

I really love the show it rocks...it is almost as good as mundou meu, deite quas tudo and fala me de amor (also Portuguese soaps) its shows how Portuguese families live and the real problems they have. for example they teach kids about pregnancy and and the problems that follow with it, also they show kids how completely silly they can be..like Manuel (a rebel in the show)..and shows them a way that they can try and change and become better. Anyway dude u said u know someone from morangos com accucar who? hook me up. I too have needs....girls there are really cute guys on the show...what i cant help myself (kiko is really cute)

I've seen Morangos com Açucar. It depicts the life of Portuguese teenagers in a really twisted wonderful way, where everything is sunny and happy all the time. Of course it has its downs, but it's always some ridiculous cliché situation like "He stole my girlfriend", or... no actually that's it. there are these "cool" delinquents who skate and make graffiti; again, so cliché (I actually know one of th actors...I still can't figure how I manage not to laugh when I see him). All the young actors are there just cuz they're young and good-looking, but they suck. Amongst the adults, there are some good references in Portuguese acting, but u wouldn't know by watching this show, because the argument (or script, or whatever) won't allow any actor to show his talent, even Anthony Hopkins would look like an amateur saying those lines. It's just plain ridiculous, it's all the adolescence clichés and mere stupidity and merchandising all compiled into... that. Even so, it wins in 2 fronts, and by a landslide: hot chicks and comedic value. As I said, th actors (specially th ones who play youth) are there to look good. I'm a man, so I find th women attractive. What I call comedic value is the fact that u can sit there, and laugh at the show during it's entirety (and that's a long time, coz they give you 2 episodes at a time, 1 from th day b4, and th new one... of course u stop laughing when u realize th commercial break's been going for 15min...) Anyway I watch the show regularly now, so I can laugh at it, and then cry at the misery that Portuguese TV has become, and u should do so too. It's a great show

God, let me just say that reading this it's just hilarious... People, if you don't like it just don't bother to watch - that simple...yeah. Remember, it's made for young teenagers, they just want some entertainment, stories that reflect today's problems with some flair, some fantasy, some 'happily ever after'. Just let them be, let the models/actors have fun, develop a new skill and make money. Yeah they're not the best actors in the world, at least it's a chance for someone to have a break into the acting world. Or at least they gain money, always good. The stories? Kinda in a loop, yeah. It's on season VI and it's kind of the same story, but the problems of today are there, just like the problems of last year were there. Jesus... it's a soap opera.. Me? i'm 20 and i still watch it, because it's addictive and really funny for me (yeah, i like to make fun of the silly situations, that's my prerogative).

Morangos com Açucar was a Portuguese series for teenagers and childreen that gave from Monday to Friday in the evenings on TVI. This series followed a group of teenagers and their love, school, or parenting problems. In each season there was always the season of school grade that passed during the school year and the summer vacation series, which gave during the summer.

This series marked my childhood and adolescence, I saw from season 2 to 8, that is, from my 8 to 15 and always thought it was fantastic and best series ever. Now almost 10 years after it was over, as I watched the replays that go on at Panda Biggs (it's now the 6th summer season), my opinion couldn't be more different and completely contrary to what it was when I was little.

The series is very cringe and most of the young actors didn't know how to perform, it all seemed very forced and unnatural (although here I even give them a discount because it was the first experience of many in the performance and some of them later succeeded in the world of representation). Everyone was very melodramatic and thought she was the owner of the breed, especially with her parents, because they are all poor things and they have the worst parents. At that time I thought it was an injustice for parents not to let them out or something, now I feel like giving a couple of pops to the annoying kids, who deep down are too much spoiled.

This series marked a generation, that is true, but it was certainly made for the younger layers because now as an adult I see how the series was not good, not even at close range.
