I watched this out of morbid curiosity on Netflix. I had never seen a Brazilian production before, so I was thinking -well "It can't all be that bad." Immediately I realized this was like the cheesy Bollywood or Fillipino soap operas my wife watches on the Indian and Fillipino channels. It was bad. The costumes were laughingly clownish -even given when given leeway due to foreign differences. The acting was always over the top, and the jokes got very stale. The set appeared to be only in one locale. I watched all but the last episode with the last episode playing in the background while I was occupied with something else. I didn't miss anything. The entire series could have been done in one sitting like a Bollywood production. The exaggerated expressions and acting, the rank amateur actors (were they even actors?), the clown costumes, and excessively silly dialog made this comedy more of a children's show than anything else. Unfortunately this wasn't for children as there were some very adult jokes. Pass unless you're foreign clown comedies.
