Many have heard of Brazil's favelas, the slums that adorn the outskirts of large cities such as Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. But few have witnessed the life of people who grew up in such neighborhoods, especially young people who are trying to think about the future amid everyday problems. This is what Netflix's Sintonia series is about. The show was created and directed by Condzilla, famous for his record label and video channel KondZilla. Condzilla is the mastermind behind Brazilian pop and funk music (Funk ostentação), owner of the largest Brazilian YouTube channel with over 50 million subscribers. Following its successful debut, Like-Mindedness has been renewed for a second season, with a 2021 release date, like the trailer.
Rating: IMDb - 6.6
Plot
The three teenagers Nando, Doni and Rita, who live on the outskirts of São Paulo, pursue their dreams while maintaining friendship in a world where music, drug dealing and religion are linked.
Doni is the spoiled son of wealthy parents. He was lucky enough to study at a private school. In addition, the guy aspires to become a funk singer. He learns about rude business practices and how to please admiring fans. Nando becomes involved in criminal activity and uses deception to cover his tracks. Rita is an orphan who grew up without a mother and has a dark past. She values her friendship with Doni and Nando, as well as her religious beliefs.
The first season ends with Doni signing an album deal. And while that means Doni will be rich and famous, he still owes money to a man named Miro. Meanwhile, Nando vows to join an organization that provides him with protection in the streets, making his lifestyle even more dangerous.
That being said, Nando's actions in the underworld appear to pose a threat to Doni's career, thereby creating a personal conflict between longtime friends. Rita will most likely be the link and the "voice of reason" between the buddies, and will also fight her religious and romantic desires in Season 2.
