A series of television dramas revolves around a group of companies that carry out large corruption. The series embodies a series of alleged corruption cases in Brazil's private and government oil and construction companies, which are fictional. These companies make legal breakthroughs and fraud to achieve their interests in the end.
A 90-minute film would have better served the narrative instead of eight episodes. We really didn't need a full series, especially since it wasn't going to end with a resolution anyway. Netflix could have spared us this one.
It will be interesting to see how The Mechanism grows in future episodes, especially knowing that there's so much corruption and intrigue to get to before the eight episodes are told.
The Mechanism proves to be a competent procedural operating on a huge, historic scale, one that, while sharing a lot of DNA with Narcos also has hints of The Wire and even the recent drama Collateral. It's an entertaining watch.
Even putting aside the unscripted adaptations of the story, which will serve as political ammunition, the series remains a lost opportunity. [Full Review in Spanish]
