Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a small audience and a quick end and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

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

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Agatha Christie's Poirot or Castle, start here.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings.
What might put you off
It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

The series tells the story of a criminal investigation into the murder of businessman Paulo Gomes de Aguiar at the beginning of August. In the midst of the Vargas government crisis, the murder case is taken by police commissioner Alberto Mattos, an honest and incorruptible man who is not well regarded by his co-workers, as the place is totally turned over to corruption.
