Psi

Turned HBO on demand, want to watch this Brazilian show,and for my immense frustration and disappointment, the show is in Spanish language! Im from Rio, and i want to watch the show in the original idiom, not Spanish! This is a total disrespect! HBO has done the same thing in the past with Brazilian shows, putting Spanish idiom over the Portuguese, like there are no Brazilians that would try to watch and appreciate a good Brazilian show! I doubt anyone from Brazil will be happy when they try to watch the show, and for their total deception, the show will be in Spanish, a idiom that should be used in Spanish movies only! With all respect, im sure people will understand my frustration about this!

Psi is a Brazilian show that is dubbed in Spanish with English subtitles just to set the record straight. It follows the story of a Psychologist in Sao Paolo, Brazil. It is fascinating watching the Doctor Carlo who is kind and empathetic but also a little reckless. The characters are complex and story frequently is unpredictable which makes the show so compelling. Superb acting by Emilio de Mello. I was surprised by how fascinated I was with this show. It is thought provoking. A realistic look at the often bizarre world of psychology and psychiatry. Highly recommend.

Uncommonly good. So far, PSI is my second favorite, Hard being first. Whoever picks these series is a genius. I find them fascinating and entertaining especially Episode 5 of Psi. I catch myself thinking that this psychotherapist is one smart dude worthy of the highest respect for his intellect and relationships with children and adults. He is so cool. There are few people in the real world like him.

The first 2 seasons are great. They then decided to change the format where episodes become part 1 and 1 of a story...almost like a mini-movie. It just got drawn out and boring

This is a good series from Brazil but some of the episodes are really poorly written. The editing is choppy and continuity of the story line is lacking. Sometimes, there is no resolution to the episode, which leaves the viewer frustrated. The dialog in a few of the episodes has too much "psychobabble" which is often irrelevant to the story and does nothing for character development. Although the acting is done at a good level, the seasons have a tendency to run out of steam and thus fails to hold attention or viewer engagement. The first 2 seasons were the best. In later seasons, the plots become more fantasy than reality, and the scripts become very childish. Overall, it is a good effort and fairly watchable if you are looking for something different.
