Good Morning Verônica - Explained and Reviewed

Image
Good Morning Veronica A Brazilian Netflix series about a cop who witnesses a suicide and wants to solve the case along with other issues pertaining to women these days.  Before proceeding with the blog, I would like to say that it will be a very heavy blog as in there are some important issues that I will be discussing like abuse, murders and rape. Spoiler alert. Proceed with caution.  Let's buckle up!! The show has some good points with a strong woman as a lead who is working to find ways to help other women in distress. The issues that women has to face are brutally abusive.  While watching the show all I hoped was one day there will be a time where women are safe and heard.  The show has some grasping issues - domestic violence, murders, sexism, illegally selling private images. We will get to it more ahead. The cinematography is also something I really enjoyed. Tainá Müller, who plays Verônica has done phenomenon job of portraying the character.  Thi...

Besides her sits her mother who holds her hand and when lets it go we see jelly slimy thing in eun youngs hand.  The narrator (older eun young) explains that every living being create such jelly but before they can hurt anyone they're crushed to jelly. Soon, eun young goes outside and her dad hugs her and starts to sob while her mother is standing far. Then theres a creepy scene where we see how her mother gets turned to jelly and dissolves.(she could see her dead mother). Flash forward to few years later . Eun young is all g...
