Dramatic series tells a range of criminal and dramatic issues. The series follows the investigation of alleged corruption in a group of companies in Brazil. In this series, there will be a series of serious issues that are constantly occurring within a group of oil and construction companies in Brazil, but all these issues are imaginary corruption cases.
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]
