Starting with this review of the series Senna, I'll begin by talking about the cast, especially the choice of Gabriel Leone for the role. He is an actor on the rise, and this was undoubtedly the biggest role of his career. I believe he will go on to make great films with prominent directors because he has immense talent. However, there is no greater honor than portraying a national idol and hero. Other cast members also skillfully brought their characters to life, transporting us to a bygone era with Galvão Bueno's narrations and the golden age of Xuxa.
The production of the series is flawless, and honestly, Netflix made an excellent decision by investing everything to ensure the series was not only a national success but also an international one. I made a point of watching the making-of, and it's sensational-surreal for a Brazilian series. The work on audio capture, the creation of cars and racing suits identical to those of the time, and the excellent CGI work were all outstanding.
I wasn't born during Senna's time, but I knew of his importance to our country. However, I didn't fully grasp the extent of his achievements or his story. Watching the series gave me that understanding. Senna's emotional story moves us, from his childhood to the tragic accident. Senna is gone, but his legacy remains, and thanks to this series, it will be etched in the minds of future generations.
The only critique, which didn't affect my final rating but is worth mentioning, is regarding certain indecent scenes that didn't need to be included. The series should have been made to watch openly with family, and I believe this was a mistake.
But overall, it's a 10/10. Thank you to everyone involved!
