Netflix is bringing to its audience an original comedy-drama series straight from Brazil called Maldivas. The series is created by Natalia Klein and directed by José Alvarenga Jr. It follows the story of a woman who wants to reconnect with her mother but soon realises that meeting her might be next to impossible.

Recently, there have been many series being released on Netflix that delve into investigative crime thrillers. Although the storyline of this series somewhat falls in similar sub-genres of mystery investigation, the style of visual storytelling is much more upbeat and quirky, to say the least.
