Todas as Flores

Finally a decent novela came from Globoplay. I like watching novelas as it helps with learning Portugues and this one sure is a real jam.

Starts of pretty strong, it has several subplots with the stories interconnecting in rather unexpected ways.

The plot of a homeless family particularly touched me as it was hard to watch this cruel side of Brazilian life.

The central story of a sweet blind girl and her evil sister and mother is also intriguing as you keep waiting when the sweet one will show her nails. The cast is great, real talents. The locations are marvelous, showing one more time the beleza of Rio.

Only one problem: Globoplay releases only 5 episodes per week! What the...

It could be much smaller. So many chapters make the film drag on, becoming irritating. The plot's solutions are an affront to anyone's intelligence. Absurd and irritating solutions.

I think the author was too lazy to find more intelligent solutions. The idiocy of certain characters is completely unbelievable.

I was stubborn and watched until the end, with a mixture of not believing it and wanting the script to improve at some point. It almost jumps from verisimilitude to the pages of very amateur comics. A waste of so many good actors being held hostage by an unreasonable story, full of holes and without any coherence in relation to reality.
