The Mechanism (original title: o Mecanismo)





A big scandal and years and years of scheming taken down. Meanwhile, many people suffer while the bad guys try to hang onto their secrets and dreamy lives. This could be the synopsis of this show, but in the end, I think it’d suffice to say this is a showcase about the underlying mechanism of corruption.

We all know it exists, in all places, all around the world, but watching it like this is both surprising and disgusting.

The show is about money, cold hard dollars. Millions of them, actually. Dirty money that involves the government and the top companies in the country, but that is, unfortunately normal. It might not make sense for everyone, but what messed with me the most was the example they gave of the “small corruption”. It seems like nothing out of the ordinary in the beginning… but it’s everything, everywhere. The corruption is the basis, it’s a way of life. 

The story has a great basis in reality, as most of us well know, and it’s good. There’s nothing more surprising than reality, right? The production is good, amazing actors and an end that makes us eager for the new season. I really enjoyed it, but sometimes, I warn you, you might feel very frustrated by what you’re watching. Some of this stuff is just too real to ignore or feel nothing about.

Now, it’s a matter of waiting for the chance of a next season to see what everyone does next.

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.
