Glória

This first Portuguese Netflix series is a very clever production effort, with a decent casting and a good cinematography.

However, there are several things that could have contributed for a better final product:

• The script is not as bad as some users have written here, but there is a lot of room form improvement it that department..

• The lack of accuracy or basic common sense in ever scene featuring uniforms and ranks;

• João Vidal was an army officer in the war in Angola but he is always depicted as a foot soldiers.

• The scenes with the GNR (wrongly subtitled as military police) are pathetic to the point where you have a foot soldier issuing orders to a 1st Sargent in the prison escape scene.

• Even the way how the army solders and GNR troopers carry their G3 rifles is wrong!

• Not to mention the GNR's uniforms.. oh man!

-A simple technical advisor could have done magic for the accuracy of all those visual and historical details.

Anyway, having said that, I liked the show. I am Portuguese and I am proud and happy to see my country honestly trying to step up and create a decent TV series. The aforementioned details are just that; details that could have been handled properly.

Finally, it's really sad to see how some of my Portuguese brothers and sisters come just to mock and demean when if fact we should all be at least a bit proud.
