Season 1 Review: City Of God: The Fight Rages On is a touch confusing to those who didn’t watch the original 2002 film, but has potential to be a tense thriller of a series after the first episode, which introduces us to characters both old and new. Read full review

Season 1 Review: By aging up its characters and only offering a few new teen ones, it’s missing the optimism that comes with youth and instead appears stuck in a middle-aged malaise. Where to go next? How and if to change? “City of God: The Fight Rages On” isn’t sure, but it knows its characters deserve to live, to have their stories told, to grow. And that’s a pretty strong foundation. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Its opening chapters are occasionally thrilling, but mostly pandering and correcting, trapped in the past instead of pushing forward. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Familiar stuff, especially in a post-Narcos TV landscape, but this time it’s told in tropes, leaving the gritty authenticity of the source material lost in translation. Read full review
