Given it's a low-budget portuguese TV show, I have to say I was mindblown by the outcome. This series is actually pretty good and captures every ounce of our ''portugueseness''. Not to mention it was remarkably thoughtout. Every detail, from music to school slang, contributes into building an accurate representation of the 80's.
The characters are also quite peculiar and endearing (specially due to the work of a few actors - my favourite being Tiago's father), eventhough some actors lack in experience, and can sometimes make overdramatic representations.
It is very rare to find a TV show with this level of quality in Portugal, and for that I thank the producers.

This show is great, given that it's a low budget portuguese tv show, the writing is very well done using the right terms for the time that was lived back then, it gives a great representation of Portugal in the 80's.
Although the buildings and stuff obviously didn't stay the same, we can still catch that nostalgic feeling!
The acting could be better though, there are 3 or 4 characters with great acting, but some of them come out too theatrical, and that means some cringy moments.
Overall I loved the show, the soundtrack is amazing and the filming is good too.

Simply good mood...

Obviously this brings deep memories from who remembers that time. It is entertaining, enjoyable and quite makes me remember a Portuguese "Blue Summer" with politics in between. And I think that is a must, to remove itself of being labeled as a simple soap TV show.
Markl congrats you for the very good show, it is certainly very good. And also congrats to the RTP to have it stream available for free.
