Netflix: 3%

I was beginning to think that this was based on an ancient Greek play or something but I don't read that it is. I've gotten hooked in and there's only 1 season, I hate that.

It starts kind of corny looking with the acting especially the english dubbing and it's low budget but by episode 3 I was in.



Brazilian futuristic show, kind of flavored with the concept of Atlas Shrugged kind of world. The elite move to some island make a great world for themselves leaving the rest of the world on its own, kind of. Every young person once they reach 20 yrs old has an opportunity to participate in The Process, in which only 3% of those candidates pass to go live in this elite society and those that don't, go home, most of the time.

I'm really hoping of a season 2 on this one. I hadn't finished the series when I posted it and some twist changed.

Seems I'm not the only one hoping for a Season 2. Fingers crossed.



You might like the new series so much, you might even want 3% to return for Season 2.

Well, right now it's unclear if that will happen. Netflix has yet to announce whether or not there will be a Season 2 of 3%. However, this post-apocalyptic thriller set in the near-future and featuring individuals vying for a chance to be one of the 3 percent taken out of the slums to live in a near-perfect island society, certainly has a lot going for it.

For one thing, 3% comes from Cesar Charlone, who was nominated for an Academy Award for the cinematography of internationally acclaimed Brazilian film City of God. So it seems likely that 3% to be similarly visually immersive. On a subjective level, from what I've heard about and seen of the series so far, it also looks like it has an intriguing premise, inspired performances, and heart-pounding action, which are all great signs for an expectional show that many Netflix users may enjoy.



I watched it dubbed in English so I didn't have to read subtitles even though I always have subtitles on, seems there are several language selections for this.
