Pecado Capital

1998–1999 · 1 season

A long, talky melodrama that coasts on moral dilemmas and romantic entanglements, easy to dip into but rarely gripping.

How it feels: Melancholic, tense, romantic and earnest. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Greed, morality, crime, betrayal
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
