Sunday Safe Bet

Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

It earned strong reviews (85% on Rotten Tomatoes), though it had a short run with a modest audience and little lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for sci-fi fans. If you loved The Wire, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
4 seasons: a few months of evenings, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 25 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-MA: meant for adults.
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

In a future where the elite inhabit an island paradise far from the crowded slums, you get one chance to join the 3% saved from squalor.
