Excellent series. Just an aberration in the choice of the role of Iara / Camila. In the narrative
from the legend of Iara adapted by the Jesuits, who became part of Brazilian folklore, she invariably appears in the form of a mermaid with indigenous features and long green hair. But Iara is one of the Tupi-Guarani deities. When Tupã (the creator) created the rivers and lakes, he created Iara to protect them. In the series, Caaporã (or Curupira), another Tupi-Guarani deity, is very well represented as an indigenous. Therefore, in this choice of role, the series is not faithful. Iara is not of African origin, but indigenous. Ipupiara or Iupiara, which many confuse with Iara, is a sea monster in the shape of a Caucasian fish man that attacked vessels, ans it is white. When Portuguese settlers arrived in Brazil, they made this correlation with the legends of aquatic entities. Iara, in the popular saying, enchanted men and in even the most remote narratives protected the waters of rivers and streams, peacefully maintained their harmonies. Maintaining this calm posture, she was later also known for attracting men by singing, drowning them in seduction, without violence or pain. Therefore, she could not be either Caucasian, much less black, since no reference, neither Iara nor Ipupiara has an African origin. Of the deities of African origin, particularly Yoruba, the only one connected to water is Iemanjá. Likewise, it is also a fertile orixá and does not attract men to the bottom of the waters. They made an ugly mistake due to progressive ideology, which protects minorities at any cost, ans often leads to absurd errors such as un this series. It's my opinion.
