This series is easy to underestimate especially if Brasil isn't your native country, but the story and character arcs are a smack down of the prudish nature of our history and insecurities and the dehumanizing nature of those who would demean those people that have found joy and happiness outside of that arc.
The lead actress starts the series confined to a metaphorical prison of her own making and her self immolating attempt to confine the world to that same prison, and as time goes by she grows into a modern woman with increasing respect for herself and others. The characters within the series evolve over time with nuanced acting that supports subtlety of writing with this story set in the most unsubtle of worlds.
Oh, and I discovery that I've been smiling so hard that it hurts every time an episode ends. Everyone should watch this as it has the potential to make anyone a happier person.
