"Stoned" effects are just wrong.
maryjelsol2 December 2022
Ok.. nice plot and good acting and all.. but the person who decided to add that "stoney" effect when people toke up cannot ever in their own life have smoked cannabis themselves.

The added effect looks more like it does when one has sniffed glue in my own experience.

No cannabis buzz gives sound and visual distortion like that.

I don't understand why the director didn't run this effect by an expert before adding it to the series.

Clearly they had an expert around to tell how to refine the weed.

Otherwise it is a very nice topic, something i wish my own country Sweden would consider doing. We have a hard time speaking up about it since even talking about being pro legalisation could lead to dire consequenses. We are a bit under "dictatorship" in this question. Even having it in our bodily fluids 5weeks like it can take to leave the system after ingestion can make us loose the drivers licence. Or prohibit us to talk about illnesses at the drs since they have a reporting duty.

Amazing
jpalomog22 November 2022
Along of an amazing set of directors, this series has a very unique plot, cast and soundtrack. Definetly a very taboo topic, which makes it a bit difficult to analize without having a moral bias. Even though the show manages to portray a lot of political concepts that put in contrast many of modern world societies. Very well written, good pacing, amazing characters. Biriba and Salim, the main characters, live in two different worlds and both have a very different morality. Still the show has a very brommantic way of showing that even with their differences they are loyal to each other, both have a very complex plot around them.

Dubbed version horrible
qui_j25 July 2020
It's a pity that HBO decided to dub this into Spanish and not offer it in it's original language of Portuguese. The languages are fairly similar but the dubbing leads to lag between words and lip movements. This made it unwatchable for me. Why not offer it in the original language with a choice of subtitles?
