The Freitas Brothers

2019 · 1 season

A grounded, slow-building sports drama about brotherhood and pressure, more interested in family strain than fight-night spectacle.

Overview: In the mid 90s, Luís Cláudio Freitas is forecast as the great promise of the Brazilian boxing. His younger brother, Acelino "Popó" Freitas is new in the career so nobody takes him seriously.
How it feels: Earnest, melancholic, tense and warm. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Family, ambition, betrayal, redemption
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
