Reporting for Duty is a Netflix comedy series starring Leandro Hassum, Luciana Paes, Jefferson Schroeder, Babu Carreira, and Digão Ribeiro.
“Reporting for Duty” is one of those comedies that emerges with pure intentions and makes a philosophical statement about human stupidity: one joke after another without any deep meaning, without causing harm to anyone, and with a simple, cheerful, and youthful humor.
It is a series that is meant to be enjoyed and quickly forgotten, but it is pleasant and likable. It revolves around a professional group that, at least in the world of cinema, has provided us with many comedic situations: the police.
In this case, the police in Rio de Janeiro.
About “Reporting for Duty”
A commissioner who, by chance, disrupts a mafia operation is promoted and faces an even tougher challenge: proving that he is not completely useless compared to his new colleagues, who are not exactly Nobel Prize winners in anything either.
Stupid, naive, with a shallow and even silly humor. It is a great opportunity to switch off your brain and forget about double entendres and sophisticated jokes: here, the humor is very physical, relying on facial expressions and simple dialogue that is never offensive.
The talented actor Leandro Hassum knows this role very well and portrays it wonderfully, depicting a clumsy, naive, charming, and very human character that he has brought to the screen many times. It entertains and amuses, without pretending to be anything more.
It is a very likable series that will make you laugh, even if you don’t intend to. They say that even a broken clock is right twice a day, so one of the countless jokes will eventually make you smile.
It has a very theatrical and classic feel, with a focus on comedy actors.
It is a way to pass the time and forget about your problems.
Nothing more.
And nothing less.
