What can be said that it hasn't been said. A documentary about fake, pretentious and highly narcissistic people. You wouldn't expect anything else knowing how egotistical and narcissistic his partner is. I'm not a fan of reality TV but I can appreciate it when it's about genuine and humble people who've reached a certain status in life due to something that they've done that warrants some sort of admiration and credit. It's hard to admire people when they're this shallow and uninteresting, coming across as egomaniac to the fullest. The life interactions of its star are on par with her persona... BORING, BORING, BORING... 1 star and I'm being generous, considering how bad this is.

It's not all bad here but the bad bits are indeed REALLY bad. The voice over from Pepe Rapazote is mostly cringy, the script is often very amateurish and the action scenes involving the police are so terrible that look like they were taken from a poorly made spoof movie. If there's a second season I'll definitely watch it but they gotta up their game to get anywhere near the level of other foreign TV shows like 'La Casa de Papel' and other much better crafted shows. Overall, a disappointing effort which has received a lot of undeserved hype, and as a Portuguese I look forward to seeing a real quality show being produced within our shores.

The biggest risk in doing an adaptation of a videogame which is as story driven and cinematic as 'The last of us' is that if you're not careful, it may end up looking like a poor remake. And that's what's clearly happening with this show, as some of the most pivotal scenes have been handled badly and the acting of the main protagonists in those scenes often pale in comparison to what we've seen in the videogame. Unfortunately more and more I'm starting to believe that 'The Last of us' didn't need a TV adaptation, as the videogame gave us everything we could possibly want and some... Would have made more sense to expand its world by creating a whole new story, with new characters, instead of giving us an inferior remake of a videogame which you could hardly do justice, let alone improve upon.
