I just stumbled upon this series, and, not knowing at all what to expect, was totally, delightfully surprised at how engaging it is. I was hooked! Once in a great while all the pieces seem to magically coalesce and produce an amazing work of art; this is one of those. Unfortunately there is no season two! I speak Portuguese as a second language, and that was a definite plus, but I don't think you need Portuguese to enjoy this marvelous series.
