It begins very well. A nice fiction based on a true story.
But suddenly becomes really biased, telling a series of small lies to construct a naive narrative. Compared to the real story, it lacks details, complexity and maturity.
However, I recommend it. But one must have in mind that this show portrays José Padilha's personal view of the reality, who shyly criticizes the left-wing movement in Brazil, and poorly understand the brazilian "state capitalism" (which he wisely call "Mecanismo"). Compared to Padilha's Tropa de Elite, it is a weak production.
