When Manu Gavassi (Milene) left Big Brother, the singer, who made everyone laugh saying she wanted to be a villain, confessed she wanted to make her own series. The brazilian nation, already captivated by her charisma and marketing skills, smiled happily when Maldivas was announced. Knowing that Bruna Marquezine would be in this project with her friend increased fans expectation about the show.
I admit I was skeptical. After so many bad brazilian series, not only on Netflix, I was raised knowing our way of making TV. But I also knew Natalia Klein talent way before Manu started singing. The screenwriter and narrator already had my heart.
This show is good because of the ideas, the lines, the small details and because, instead of a didactic novela style, it fits in a worldwide known genre. You won't be surprised by the plot, the raised questions will certainly be guessed quickly. But you will laugh and enjoy - and if you are brazilian you will get more jokes.
