Being a follower of mainly British and Scandinavian crimes series, I like to widen my horizons from time to time and have a look what other countries tend to offer in this field... So I was referred to Glória and I was eager to find out about the era depicted of which I had limited knowledge only.
Although I am not particularly keen on chases and action, the pace of the plot was a bit tardy for me. The motives to become a spy for the U. S. S. R. were not approvable by me either - even after nasty and tragic events in colonies, a son of a prominent politician could have comprehended that the Soviets were no unselfish and noble justice fighters... Yet, the struggles of João Vidal were interesting to follow (Miguel Nunes is a good actor as well) and the cause of death of a certain woman provided real crime case aspects to the otherwise spy story.
Still, even if bearing in mind that this Series comes from a country not famous for its series, I can't say it made a good impression on me and that I am very eager to follow what is there in the Portuguese film industry. Thus, 7 points seems just right.
