A Portuguese thriller series called Lady Voyeur debuted on Netflix in 2022. We follow Miranda (Débora Nascimento), the lead character, a gifted but reclusive hacker, through ten suspenseful episodes that build to an explosive conclusion. All of the cues to her reclusive personality can be found in her early years, and the episodes make it plain that she has a grandmother in a nursing home who is afflicted with the disabling condition Huntington's disease.
The first few episodes include a well-paced tale from writers Marcela Citterio and Camila Raffanti. However, when developing the plot for the crime thriller, a few crucial components are hurriedly developed or left unresolved, which has an impact on the thriller aspect over time. Interesting elements either went unanswered or turned into cliffhanger episodes, which ultimately didn't really fulfill the purpose of such a complex plot.
In the end, we understand that Miranda's life, as well as the life of her unborn child, has been in grave danger the entire time. The suspenseful conclusion reveals that Cléo is actually Miranda's long-lost sister Gabriella, who persuaded her that their mother's passing was her fault.
Cléo devised the entire plan in order to exact revenge on Miranda and ultimately murder her. She even left the window treatments open and let Miranda observe her. It turns out that Miranda's boyfriend Fernando was also complicit in Cléo's diabolical scheme. They both intended to utilize Miranda's talents to further their sinister goals before killing her. But despite their best intentions, Cléo and Fernando are both gone by the tense conclusion.
It's also unclear whether this series would be able to regain balance in its second season with such shoddy execution. Even though Lady Voyeur compromises clarity for subplots and a few half-finished ideas, it's still a fun movie to watch.
