What would think of a series whose message were: "The Right is to blame for all the problems we have"?Exactly.O Mecanismo is a series with the exact same message, but on the opposite side: "The Left is to blame for all the problems we have".Since it sells itself as made based on true events, people who know the true events will clearly see that this series is nothing but political propaganda.

So un-Brazil, despite ponderous, voice-over references to "Brazil." Still another Netflix streaming sin fix. CEO Hasting's formula is worn: his "good guy" is not a cowboy in a white hat, not a man, but a miserable, "empowered," cop female, struggling almost all alone against a faceless cabal (exactly like the female cop in Netflix's The Killing). But this ain't the Brazil of City of God or reality. It's high-gloss and detached, a super-highway, skyscraper landscape, seen safely from helicopters, an anywhere CSI L.A. or Miami. De rigueur, they solve crimes by staring at computer screens, slaves of impotence and inaction. They rush to crime scenes in sinister, black SUVs.Does anyone in their right mind believe this has anything to do with the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff, the 36th President of Brazil, or Lula's, Brazil's ex president's, corruption case? Street-level reality check, the real Brazil: Pixote (which looks like crap on DVD).
