Como Se Tornar uma Divindade na Flórida

As I'm writing i can't get off my head Krystal's words of the last aired episode (Ep 6) "Being broke it hurts like bad" and it hited so hard because it's what this show has been telling us since it started and i'm very grateful about that, I'm grateful because you don't get to see this subject of economic survival being a problem in a lot of contents lately coming from series and movies. Yes, their are characters in other series who struggles but it's only a tool to describe something else. On becoming a god is a critical statement about the evolving and brutal capitalism we're living in, it's not surprising for me that it was hard to find a platform for it because this content makes you think about a lot of stuff that we don't when we're watching TV. Kirsten Dunst is an amazing actress and plays the part of Krystal just perfectly, like her two biggest costars here Thédore Pellerin and Mel Rodriguez who are fantastic as Cody and Ernie. The writing, the characters, and also the subtle comedic tone of it makes this show a 10/10 for me. If you haven't seen it already give it a chance because it's worthy.

Great, satirical look at how many (all?) MLM companies take advantage of hard-working-but uneducated-upwardly-mobile-striving Americans without other resources. I thought the writing and acting was superb. Dunst is fantastic as a single mom widow determined to get out of the deep financial hole her husband dug for her. I loved the portrayal of the DS FLR (dominance-submissoin female led relationship) with the baby-faced Cody character in the second hand of the first season. To whomever found this unbelievable, she tells us why. She doesn't love him, but she needs him, and that she had been faking it to accomplish her goals. She has a kid and needs help! I totally get this ... remember this is 1992. There's no Match.com for her to easily find another life partner willing to help her raise Destinee. He adores her, which is easy to see why. She's cunning, creative, sexy, determined and fun. I think a lot of women settle for an imperfect relationship so that have help raising children when they find themselves unexpectedly alone.

The title ... well I felt that it finally made sense to me in the final five minutes of the first season. Then think back to how the audience at a rally cheers for the upline top of the pyramid at FAM. After I watched this season I watched a YouTube video of an episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver that detailed MLM companies and why they are so bad. It's a fantastic watch and I recommend everyone watch it ... in fact if I recommend five people watch it and they each get five people to watch it then it will only take 14 cycles before the whole world has seen it! (And that's why pyramid schemes don't work ... there aren't enough people to put underneath you to pay back everyone who gets onboard when the bottom line is compensation by signing people up and not by selling product.)

I expect the second season to be a hoot and can't wait for it to be released!

This is the best dark comedy I've seen in years. The whole cast is phenomenal, the characters feel so natural! After the mixed reviews I read on here, I reluctantly gave it a try and in the end, I was very positively surprised. Kirsten Dunst is at her best, honestly didn't expect this much. The show does have some crazy dark comedy scenes that are there to be crazy, which I'm not too fond of in movies, but even those were done in an original way. Binged on it, waiting for the second season!

From reading previous ratings, I think some people (a) might not enjoy dark comedy and (b) also don't understand how dark and twisted the world of MLM's can actually be. The people who say the story is outlandish must not really know much about point 'b'. A story about that world SHOULD be dark. and should be full of unlikable characters. I can also assume a lot of really low reviews might be from people involved in MLM's because the rating for the show on here currently is really right about where it should be (a 7-8 is fair I think). I don't see any way this show warrants a one star review.

The acting and story are both solid. It's a dark show with comedic elements, based on what is a really dark topic. Read up on how MLM's ruin some people's lives, and you will likely appreciate the story more, and why it's being told the way it is. I think it delivers on what it's trying to deliver on.

One thing I agree with other reviewers whether they have left good or bad reviews is that I am not sure if this show could hold up for too many seasons. But I have enjoyed this one.

Excellent series with an extraordinary Kristen Dunst, I love this actress of a magnificent talent who raises the whole series, an excellent screenplay and a nice sarcastic vision of money. A black sarcastic comedy, where we laugh in certain situations and we stoke the underlying plot of the dramatic side, the whole is very coherent and with this main actress who shines there, she alone ignites the whole series.
