Les Morceaux de notre vie

This series is incredibly well-written and directed, with a great cast! Overall an amazing production which kept me hooked from start to finish. A Brazilian telenovela at its best!

The series tackles difficult and dark themes such as sexual assault, misogyny and discrimination. It shows different kinds of abuse that women suffer from men (including their supposed "friends" and even their husbands), from gaslighting to date rape. It also deals with the guilt and shame that a woman may feel after being sexually assaulted, which may last years and even decades.

Another important theme explored in the series is ableism, which is reflected in a secondary plot. The scenes involving this character are very sensible and the actor (who has the same condition as the character in real life) did an amazing job.

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.

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.

Kia. Rosee.

The ideas were good but it's unnecessarily long. 17 episodes is way too much for a single season. The storytelling is also very bad compared to what it could be. You're challenged to believe is so many coincidences throughout the story that made it very hard for me connect with. Like all characters are connected somehow through some unrealistic coincidences. On top of that, it's same old of a typical brazilian show that a couple who fell in love with each other are separated by another couple who want each of them to be with the main couple and then the villains form another couple...for some reason storytellers from Brazil can't get away from this structure in most cases. Besides the main couple and the sister-in-law, I think most acting was 'meh'.

Well it was way to long and the sex scenes so boring and predictable, but the series was enjoyable, the acting incredible, yes it was melodrama but at its best, you get to love the good characters and hate the bad ones. I was tempted at times to just fast forward some of these episodes but managed to watch all of them and that was mainly because of the characters and the different plot lines. What was incomprehensible and disappointing to me was the reaction of the grandparents to finding out the parentage of the twins -- how mean and stupid can they be! I guess a lot of their reaction was meant to stretch the story line, but still. Over all, like I said, way too long but still good.
