This is a very entertaining series from Brazil. The title has a suggestive sexual meaning but also might be a reference to how difficult it is for a woman to break into and manage the type of business dealt with in the movie. I guess the second season might have been slowed down by the pandemic but as long as the writers can keep it fresh with new ideas, it deserves subsequent seasons.

8/10 so for because the series is not at its end. It's truly just beginning.
2 of my favorite quotes I say frequently... (1) We are all born into this world knowing everything, equally intelligent and curious, but the ppl in our lives spend every waking moment trying to condition us to forget and learn to embrace shame.
(2) There is no such thing as a "freak" when you're an adult engaging in carnal desires with another/other adults. It's called being "grown" and free in the only place we can truly be free, our bedrooms.
The protagonist starts off as a rigid prude. She's basically a 40 year old virgin with 2 children and a newly deceased husband who has been hiding a very lucrative porno business for almost 2 decades which also happens to employ his mother. When he died, he left her his business to run and debt.
She eventually learned how to manoeuvre in the industry while learning how to pleasure herself, something else she'd never done and she accidentally, on purpose, falls in love with her leading male porn star who is very famous and well known and so therefore it becomes interesting watching her slowly break free of her conditioning and allow herself to be loved and sexually liberated.

One Of The Best Comedy Series

Great Acting, Great Comedy, Great Drama, Great Writing

This series is easy to underestimate especially if Brasil isn't your native country, but the story and character arcs are a smack down of the prudish nature of our history and insecurities and the dehumanizing nature of those who would demean those people that have found joy and happiness outside of that arc.
The lead actress starts the series confined to a metaphorical prison of her own making and her self immolating attempt to confine the world to that same prison, and as time goes by she grows into a modern woman with increasing respect for herself and others. The characters within the series evolve over time with nuanced acting that supports subtlety of writing with this story set in the most unsubtle of worlds.
Oh, and I discovery that I've been smiling so hard that it hurts every time an episode ends. Everyone should watch this as it has the potential to make anyone a happier person.
