Irmandade

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!!

I absolutely loved this series. It's very exciting and different from regular american series. Hope they make a season II.

I didn't expect much when I started to watch the first show, especially not that I would watch all 8 in one go. It is a great series showing the failed, corrupt Brazilian police and prison system. Marvelous acting makes you sometimes feel that you are in the middle of all that action. Can't wait for season 2.

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.
