Invisible City (2021–2023)
7/10
The Brazil's worst detective is also a pretty bad Dad too...great cinematography though!

Pretty much summed it up in my title. The characters are interesting and offer a window into South American mythology, that we don't get to see too often in film. However, the father is not the best detective in the room, nor does he really come across as being there for his daughter, as much as I'd like a parent to console a daughter after trauma.

But maybe that's just me.

I can never figure out with some of Netflix's foreign offerings( many are superb); I'm not sure if it's bad script or bad acting or both, that is off putting for me, when it comes to basic human reaction or natural progression of a scene, or just because of my own cultural ignorance.

I digress, good premise, fairly good actors,...I think, and solid cinematography and editing.

Season 2 echoes the first season and uses the same tropes and hooks.

Probably a 6.5 out of 10....but you will most likely still binge watch it.
