Good Morning, Verônica (2020–2024)
5/10
Most of the those 10 star reviews are bogus

Warning: Spoilers
Look at the dates they were put up. Obviously written by family, friends, producers, etc.

It was an average show with an utterly incompetent hero. She wants to solve cases but doesn't want to take the detective exam because her cop dad supposedly killed her mom and then tried to kill himself? Instead she'll be a clerk in the Homicide division, being reminded of her father daily and butting in on cases that would be illegal for her to interfere in? Not only that, but she still lives in the house where her mother was killed, but just keeps the door locked? Who wants to live in a "murder house?"

She is directly responsible for the deaths of four (and maybe more) people because of her incompetence, yet we're supposed to root for her? She's tailing a killer and then loses him (while recording everything on audio that she doesn't use to arrest the bad guy)? Why didn't she involve anyone else in tailing this guy? Why didn't she call the guy who keeps hitting on her, or the coroner to help her tail this guy? Why don't you use a SAT phone so you'll be sure not to lose a call?

She knows the bad cop lady visited her dad in the nursing home and tortured him with cigarettes, but she doesn't do anything about it? She also knows bad cop lady tried to kill her on the road, and does nothing about it? Sure, the whole police force is corrupt but she doesn't contact every news source in Brazil? She's totally cool with killing a guy with acid, but she doesn't go after the people who murdered her mother and threaten her family?

She was already in the vicinity of the bad guy's lair, so why does she need to follow the clues that Janet left in her puzzle books? Just drive to the place where you lost them the first time, and pick up the trail from there. She only missed him by around 300 yards the first time. And she didn't follow the shotgun blasts the first time around? The bad guy was still in the area, cuz he had to bury the body.

Then at the end she's going to become La Femme Nikita?

Write smarter. Your protagonist doesn't have to make idiotic mistakes in order to propel the story forward. And please stop threatening the hero's family in these cop shows. It's such a cliche (like the retiring police captain). While we're at it, no more perfectly rectangular grave holes that in no way could've been created with a shovel.
