Dom (2021– )
7/10 Good plot, good acting, nice to see the favela in two different time periods and the war on drugs.

Very good plot, based on a true story, exceptional acting especially Gabriel Leone who plays Pedro Dom. Pedro Dom the head character is intelligent, grew up with his family outside of the favela, but he's hungry for more and doesn't know fear, due to something missing in his brain. He's comes from a good family, but is attracted to the favela. His best friend is from the favela and from a young age they start using drugs and Dom lives for adrenaline. Than when he gets older he proceeds to being a criminal and with his tactics robs houses and basically he and his gang mates (women and males) are all greedy, they want more money, more sex and more drugs.

The series also is about the father that cares for his son (Pedro Dom) and tries to help him get off drugs. You'll also see the father when he was younger and gets dragged into a secret mission as a diver and after that goes undercover in the favela in the 1970's and becomes close to a drugslord. You basically see the war on drugs and the father is part of that.

Overall, it's a good series and a big bonus is also the behind the scenes videos on Amazon prime, so you'll understand the story and characters better.
