“Criminal Code” (2023) | Cops, heists and lots of action in this new Netflix series

Criminal Code is a Brazilian series directed by Heitor Dhalia, starring Pedro Caetano, Maeve Jinkings, and Thomás Aquino.

If you’re into thrillers, action, and criminal intrigue, this new series has all the elements to captivate you.

The series offers a fast-paced, expertly filmed action-packed storyline revolving around the lives of dedicated police officers.

About the series

“Criminal Code” is primarily a police procedural series that leans more towards pulse-pounding action rather than the tragic realism of “Hill Street Blues.” It explores the psychology of its characters, albeit briefly, without delving into the dramatic side of the story or approaching it as a tragedy. This series is all about action, and it definitely delivers.

The series is primarily targeted towards action movie enthusiasts, particularly those who miss the presence of Bruce Willis, rather than those who prefer a more realistic plot.

It aims to be spectacular, fast-paced, and impactful throughout, starting with a plot that steadily escalates, ultimately culminating in a full-blown war on the streets of Brazil, complete with relentless gunfire.

If you’re a fan of action, this series is sure to please you.

However, if you’re looking for a psychological perspective, you may be disappointed.

And if you seek neorealism, there are certain elements of reality present, although they are exaggerated by the excessive action, which might not be to your liking.

But for those viewers simply looking for an enjoyable action-packed experience, Criminal Code knows how to do its job and deliver exactly what the audience came for.
