Unfairly canceled. Deserved a chance.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

I can't understand why this show was canceled. I watched it every Sunday on Latin HBO.

The production values were pretty good, maybe not for American t.v. standards but still pretty good. Good direction, nice art direction, pretty damn good music, and best of all, good acting.

Andreia Horta was a charming lead actress. She's fresh, extremely hot (all about her big firm butt ;) ), demonstrates she can express many feelings with her facial expressions.

The episodes were a mix of crude situations, but felt very real. It wasn't all about Alice, the main character. The supporting characters added something to the plot in every episode.

It displays the reality of many young people, specifically, those who are 25. It deals with sexuality, job opportunities, becoming mature, and more unexpected situations when you are young.

It's a shame it didn't last for more time. The show had the quality to become a success.

Still, I watch some re-runs.
