1. Gl\u00f3ria<\/a> (2021)<\/h2>\n<\/lite-youtube><\/p>\nCountry:<\/strong> Portugal
\nMain Actors: <\/strong>Miguel Nunes, Matt Rippy, Stephanie Vogt<\/p>\nThis historical spy thriller is the first Portuguese original made by Netflix.<\/p>\n
Set in the 1960s during the Cold War, it revolves around Jo\u00e3o, who works as an engineer at a broadcasting station that spreads Western propaganda. But what people don\u2019t know is that he\u2019s also a secret agent for the KGB, the Soviet intelligence agency.<\/p>\n
He leads an increasingly dangerous double life, taking on operations where the single wrong move is fatal.<\/p>\n
It really shows how working as a spy is all about stealth and subtlety. I was kept on my toes the whole time because I couldn\u2019t guess which side Jo\u00e3o supported!<\/p>\n
2. Invisible City<\/a> (2021)<\/h2>\n<\/lite-youtube><\/p>\nCountry:<\/strong> Brazil
\nOriginal Title:<\/strong> Cidade Invis\u00edvel
\n<\/em>Main<\/strong> Actors: <\/strong>Marco Pigossi, \u00c1urea Maranh\u00e3o, Julia Konrad<\/p>\nCreatures from Brazilian legends sometimes pop up in children\u2019s shows, but \u201cInvisible City\u201d is the first adult series I\u2019ve seen where they\u2019re such a huge part of the plot.<\/p>\n
Eric, an environmental police officer, heads to the Amazon rainforest to investigate his wife\u2019s death from a forest fire. He then stumbles on a hidden world of mythical beings. These include the Cuca, <\/em>a witch-like figure that kidnaps misbehaving children, and the Curupira<\/em>, <\/em>a forest guardian with feet facing backward. \u00a0<\/p>\nIt turns out that they\u2019re living among humans\u2014and someone wants to attack them. Eric then gets drawn into the battle to protect the forest. \u00a0<\/p>\n
3. Girls from Ipanema<\/a> (2019)<\/h2>\n<\/lite-youtube><\/p>\nCountry:<\/strong> Brazil
\nOriginal Title: <\/strong>Coisa Mais Linda
\n<\/em>Main<\/strong> Actors: <\/strong>Maria Casadevall, Pathy Dejesus, Mel Lisboa\u00a0<\/p>\nI love how this series is all about female empowerment in the 1950\u2019s! Also known as \u201cMost Beautiful Thing,\u201d it tells the story of Maria Luiza, a former housewife who moves from S\u00e3o Paulo to Rio de Janeiro after her husband disappears with all their money. In Rio, she decides to transform her husband’s abandoned property into a bossa nova club.<\/p>\n
However, this is far from easy in a male-dominated society. Back then, it was rare for women to start clubs on their own. Still, Maria Luiza finds close friends and allies in other women, including Adelia, an Afro-Brazilian woman from a more working-class background.<\/p>\n
4. 3%<\/a> (2016)<\/h2>\n<\/lite-youtube><\/p>\nCountry:<\/strong> Brazil
\nOriginal Title:<\/strong> Tr\u00eas Por Cento
\n<\/em>Main <\/strong>Actors: <\/strong>Jo\u00e3o Miguel, Bianca Comparato, Rodolfo Valente, Michel Gomes<\/p>\nThis sci-fi series reminded me of \u201cHunger Games\u201d and \u201cSquid Games\u201d\u2014and it’s also the first Brazilian Netflix original.<\/p>\n
In a dystopian future, society is divided into two starkly different worlds: the impoverished “Inland” and the affluent “Offshore.\u201d Everyone in the Inland gets a chance to go to the Offshore when they turn 20 years old. But only 3% of the candidates succeed in this rigorous and often brutal selection process.<\/p>\n
I found the games intriguing, with plenty of twists. For example, one game involves having to cross through a path of glass panels, and there are intense psychological interviews too.<\/p>\n
5. Good Morning, Veronica<\/a> (2020)<\/h2>\n<\/lite-youtube><\/p>\nCountry:<\/strong> Brazil
\nOriginal Title:<\/strong> Bom Dia, Ver\u00f4nica
\n<\/i>Main<\/strong> Actors: <\/strong>Tain\u00e1 M\u00fcller, Eduardo Muscovis, Ant\u00f4nio Grassi<\/i><\/p>\n“Good Morning, Veronica\u201d should come with a disclaimer because it can get very violent. Still, I was engrossed with the story because it focuses on a very relevant topic that deserves more attention: the abuse of women.<\/p>\n
Veronica is an underappreciated clerk at a police station. But then she witnesses a young woman committing suicide and eventually finds out the young woman was a victim of severe domestic abuse. Even worse, she reached out to the police, but nobody helped her.<\/p>\n
Determined to seek justice, Veronica embarks on a relentless pursuit of the truth, uncovering a series of crimes linked to a dangerous, manipulative predator.<\/p>\n
Using the new FluentU Chrome extension<\/a> you can practice your Portuguese with “Good Morning, Veronica\u201d and any other Netflix video that has subtitles.

\n<\/em>Main Actors: <\/strong>Selton Mello, Carolina Abras, Enrique Diaz<\/p>\n\u201cThe Mechanism\u201d is a political drama that\u2019s based on true events\u2014specifically, Operation Car Wash (Opera\u00e7\u00e3o Lava Jato)<\/em>, a large-scale investigation that uncovered one of the worst corruption scandals ever in Brazil.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s made by Jos\u00e9 Padilha, who also created \u201cNarcos\u201d and \u201cElite Squad,\u201d so expect a gritty, intricate plot and lots of moral ambiguity.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nIn the series, Ruffo is a federal police delegate who stumbles upon a massive corruption scheme involving money laundering and bribery. Alongside his prot\u00e9g\u00e9e, Verena, he becomes obsessed with the case, and he soon uncovers how widespread it is, with politicians and business leaders taking part too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/em>Main<\/strong> Actors: <\/strong>Carla Salle, Sandra Corveloni, Jonathan Haagensen<\/p>\nThe setup of \u201cOmniscient\u201d might seem eerily familiar: in a not-too-distant future, there\u2019s virtually no privacy. Every citizen is constantly monitored by small drones that hover around, recording their every move. This is called “the System,” and it supposedly makes crime impossible.<\/p>\n
Nina works as a software engineer for the company that controls the System. However, her father gets murdered, yet the System has no record of the crime. This gets Nina to start questioning things, until she finds disturbing exceptions in the System and realizes that the technology she helped develop might be prone to abuse.<\/p>\n

\n<\/em>Main<\/strong> Actors: <\/strong>Victor Lamoglia, J\u00falia Rabello, K\u00e9fera Buchmann<\/p>\nI adored \u201cNobody\u2019s Looking\u201d right from the first episode because it\u2019s trippy and amusing, with a unique twist on guardian angels.<\/p>\n
In this show, the angelus<\/i> are bureaucratic entities who follow strict rules set by a mysterious higher power known as the System. All of them have bright red hair!<\/p>\n
Uli, the newest member of the angelus<\/em> squad, becomes disillusioned with how rigid the system seems. He begins to question the purpose of angelus<\/i> in humans\u2019 lives. This leads him to break the rules by interacting directly with humans, and other angels even get inspired to follow his cause.<\/p>\n9.

It looks into fascinating science topics like time travel, the Bermuda Triangle and AI superintelligence\u2014with tons of humor from the charming host, Felipe Castanhari. Aside from being a science and history enthusiast, he\u2019s a popular Brazilian YouTuber too.<\/p>\n
Each episode lasts for around 30 minutes, and you\u2019ll either see Felipe in his lab or exploring out in the open. He\u2019s accompanied by lab assistants and a supercomputer named Betina too.<\/p>\n

\nMain Actors: <\/strong>Christian Malheiros, MC Jottap\u00ea, Bruna Mascarenhas<\/p>\n\u201cSintonia\u201d is an eye-opening series because it depicts what life is like in Brazil\u2019s favelas<\/i> or slums. I was surprised to find out that most of the actors and even the producer grew up in favelas<\/i>.<\/p>\n
It follows the lives of three friends\u2014Doni, Nando and Rita\u2014in the favelas<\/i> of S\u00e3o Paulo. Doni wants to become a successful funk artist, but his dream seems almost impossible to fulfill. Nando gets involved in drug trafficking and finds himself constantly fighting for survival and power. Rita turns to religion for solace, but her faith often gets tested by her harsh experiences in the favela.<\/p>\n11. Back to 15<\/a> (2022)<\/h2>\n<\/lite-youtube><\/p>\nCountry:<\/strong> Brazil

\n<\/em>Main<\/strong> Actors: <\/strong>Maisa Silva, Camila Queiroz, Caio Cabral, Breno Ferreira<\/p>\n\u201cBack to 15\u201d is a fun, lighthearted show with a classic plot: what if you could go back to your 15-year-old self?<\/p>\n
At 30 years old, Anita feels unhappy with her life. In a twist of fate, \u00a0she\u2019s mysteriously transported back to her 15-year-old self in the early 2000s, and all her memories are intact.<\/p>\n
Of course, she seizes this chance to rewrite her past. However, she has to go through being a teenager again, which means dealing with bullies, the pressure of fitting in and crushes. Changing history isn\u2019t as straightforward as she thinks, though\u2014and her actions lead to unexpected consequences.<\/p>\n

Eduardo is a young man who tries to secure eye surgery for his ailing father and even move to the U.S. for a better life, but both of these attempts fail.<\/p>\n
He gets an unexpected opportunity, though: cocaine washes up on his island after a storm. The cocaine is easily worth thousands of euros, so he and his friends start selling it.<\/p>\n
Of course, it\u2019s not for free. The cocaine is owned by the Italian Mafia, and they\u2019re determined to get it back.<\/p>\n
