• Story:

  Dom tells the tale of Pedro (Gabriel Leone), the son of Victor Dantas (Flavio Tolezani), a police officer. The plot starts with Dom and his friend partying with drinks and cocaine in the Rio slums. His father, on the other hand, is a cop who is attempting to apprehend one of the most feared drug smugglers of Rio de Janeiro, and that someone is his son. You must watch this series to learn about a father's troubles and roadblocks in rescuing his kid from the world of drug addicts.

  
  Why should you watch Dom?

  The story is based on a true story that was published in Brazilian media in the early 2000s. Pedro's rashness is well-established, and unlike his presumably regular middle-class origins, he will progress from drug user to becoming a leader of a mob that excels in plundering the houses of the wealthy. The story's writers inject brutality and nuance into the series, keeping you intrigued yet never losing sight of the essentials of narrative.

  Even though the series seems to have enough drama, action, and excitement to draw you in right away, it also explores a deeper aspect, that of a problematic but loving father-son relationship, which has a broad international appeal. To add to the series' intrigue, the authors include flashback sequences of Pedro's father as a young fellow who joins police intelligence. The concurrent overarching storyline, which focuses on Victor and Pedro's lives, fascinates the audience by demonstrating how the son and his father travelled in separate ways, both distinguished via their own life decisions. This allows the viewers to compare their individual lifestyle choices while also demonstrating the dynamic distinctions between father and son. From the city's smouldering shantytowns to the luxurious high-rises, the series is unapologetically rooting out crime as a manner of living in Rio de Janeiro, attempting to portray to the viewers what gives birth to criminal offenders. It also brilliantly depicts a father's effort to extricate his own kid from the labyrinth of drug addiction and the lengths to which he would go to reclaim his son. 

  The series has stunning visual locations that are expertly filmed, including underwater sequences. There are certain instances that will give you a rush. There's a scene where Pedro Dom and his squad are evading the police after breaking into a house and stealing money; it will give you an adrenaline rush. Overall, this series was enjoyable to watch, and if you enjoy this genre, you should give it a try.
