Dom’s return to Prime Video on March 17 is an opportunity to discover this series where family heartbreak and gang warfare intertwine. Here are 3 good reasons to dive into this adaptation of a news item, far from being for everyone!
For its surreal and tragic story, inspired by a news item
Victor (Flavio Tolezani), an incorruptible police officer, has dedicated his life to fighting crime. His speciality ? The dismantling of the most dangerous cartels in Brazil.
But wanting too much to distance his family from the harsh reality of his work, Victor ends up involving his son, Pedro Dom (Gabriel Leone, soon to star at Ferrari alongside Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz).
Despite his angelic face and his father’s reputation, young Pedro will plunge into a whirlwind of dramatic events that will turn him into a dangerous criminal.
Inspired by the true story of Pedro Dom, a notorious criminal of the 2000s, this family drama with Shakespearean accents is therefore much more grounded than it seems and depicts with a certain realism the functioning of the tragically famous Brazilian cartels.
For the brutality of this urban thriller
Bloody settling of scores, muscular police raids, mountains of coke that would make the most experienced mountaineers dizzy… All the ingredients are there to make this series the dose of adrenaline that viewers need.
In addition to the seriousness of his story inspired by real events, Dom also shines with the nervousness of his editing and his action scenes, which are more numerous than one might think. The descent into hell by Pedro Dom is therefore to be reserved for the least sensitive spectators, as it combines all the elements specific to the violence of its subject.
Because season 2 has just arrived on Prime Video!
After a remarkable first season in June 2021, Dom is back on Prime Video from March 17 with 6 new episodes. While a third season is already in the works, and should conclude the perilous odyssey of one of the most legendary criminals, this addition to the Prime Video catalog is the perfect opportunity to update you!
The new episodes of Dom are available from March 17, exclusively on Prime Video.
