But the immersion into such a massive web of crime is fascinating, especially knowing it's at least loosely tied to a real case.April 13, 2018
... a nuanced, addictive series worth sinking your teeth into.April 11, 2018
Turns out, this is superb TV, a complex law-and-order procedural in the vein of The Wire-and a useful primer to the headlines pouring out of Brazil.April 03, 2019
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]June 22, 2018
It's a fascinating, angry and at times bewildering series, but is driven by cold rage.March 22, 2018
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.March 23, 2018
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.March 27, 2018
Brazilian crime drama isn't as much fun as Narcos.March 27, 2018
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.April 10, 2018
One of the best series available on Netflix. [Full Review in Spanish]
