The premise of the show is undeniably intriguing, twins with different fathers, which sets the stage for exploring how lies and choices can lead to devastating consequences. The show is engaging and captivating from start to finish; there isn't a dull moment, except for the last 4-5 episodes, which unfortunately feel like a regression. These episodes are stretched and dull, and it seems the creators couldn't resist the temptation to overuse telenovela elements, which diluted the overall impact.
One of the show's strengths is that the major events unfold throughout the episodes, rather than being crammed into the finale. However, the show lacks strong, well-developed characters.
For instance, the character Liana seems to have no real significance other than being a bad mother. She could have been portrayed as a strong, resilient woman who stands up for herself and her children, but instead, she comes across as weak and ineffective. Overall, the characters feel shallow and lack depth.
Additionally, the dialogue often feels cheap, lacking the emotional weight and authenticity needed to elevate the story. This further detracts from the show's overall quality.
On the brighter side, Silvia stood out for me, with Paloma Duarte delivering a truly touching performance. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Julian Paes. Her performance left me with mixed feelings, as if something was missing or incomplete. You keep waiting for her to say or do something impactful, but it never happens.

The idea is good, the fact its based in a true story validates it...but...
TERRIBLE STORYTELLING.
Excessively long, 17 episodes to tell what? We needed 17 in Game of Thrones not in this.
So many better ways to portrait the handling of the situation. To improve the story.
Just a sequence of poor decision making, poor dialog, poor explanations.
AND WHATS UP WITH THE ABSURD EXCESSIVE BLUE PROPS in the tv show? A dozen blue items in every single scene. Just too much. OK, colors communicate but do it in a sutil way.
Everything is blue.. blue pacifier, blue shirt, blue wall, blue pans, blue dishes, blue stuff in the table, blue book, blue skies, blue everything. Annoying and distracting.

Globo aesthetics, with a lot of mistakes taking into account current state-of-the-art on series productions. For example, soundtrack doesn't match Brazilian cultural mainstream at the mid-2000s. Also, when someone sings, fake ambience is applied with autotune. Tomás and Oscar characters are poorly depicted, in a Manichaean way when their personality should be nuanced, and vice-versa. Plot twists are erratic to the detriment of character construction or, on the other hand, most characters aren't developed at all and don't get any depth even after a lot of episodes. Sadly, the plot has a good starting point, but it couldn't get rid of the "novela" aesthetics.
Thjs story is just amazing. So many twists. The writer did such a great job telling this story and connecting the characters. The acting waa superb. The entire cast were committed! The drama never got or gave boring. The powerful messages in it can change lives. I didnt mind that it had 17 episodes at 45mins i like having shows i can keep watching overtime everything is not about binge watching overnight these days. Everything isnt microwave quality. This could have been a film thats how good it is. Well done! Can't wait to see more from Miss Chavez. This was DEEP. Much appreciated.

This show (actually soap opera) is so good, it catches you with the story and the good acting! It is a good way to start the productions of soap operas for streaming platforms, a short story with much drama (important thing drama with quality and not like some Mexican shows). Brazil has so many good movies and tv shows, so many good actors and actress, comedy and drama are the best in Brazilians productions, and I see that sci-fi is growing in Brazilian productions too.
Anyways you need to give this show a try, and if you can try to watch with subtitles, the voice in the acting matter a lot...they're great actors. I hope we can see more Brazilian shows after this one trending in US and in the world Recommendations for you: 3% (Tv shows, Netflix) Good Morning, Veronica (Tv show, Netflix) Girls From Ipanema (Tv Show, Netflix) Invisible City (Tv show, Netflix) DOM (Prime Video) City Of God (movie) Central Station (Movie Second Mother (Movie) Bacurau (movie)
