Bahia is Brazil's blackest state – but you'd never guess it from latest TV soap

[Heather Duval]

She is better off with her show with her husband, in all honesty. I watched it yesterday for the first time and it is quite funny.

Eu nunca assisti aquela serie deles. Ela recusou o convite pq ta ocupada com a serie kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Mas será protagonista da próxima novela das 9

[Heather Duval]

Taís foi super esperta! Por qual motivo ela faria papel de mulher negra Baiana, provavelmente pobre e estereotipada? A biografia dela é digna e todos os seus papéis foram ótimos. Seu último protagonismo em novela das 9 foi em Viver a vida. Helena era uma mulher negra, rica, moradora do Leblon e independente

sad, blacks out there are the majority, the cast couldve been like 60% black
there are many talented blacks out there so what was so hard in hiring them for this novela?

The soap opera doesn't look very realistic after seeing the real-life pictures of the place where the soap is set. Can people there identify with and relate to the characters in the soap? Does it receive many viewers?

Leticia Colin(branca) tá no elenco e criticou a falta de negros. Diva sem medo de voltar pra Record kkk

If they represented the 37.5% middle class or upper class nordestinos I would kinda agree. But trying to portray rich and poors Bahianos like this is stupid.

Globo could have choosen other state to have less confusion. Some years ago there was a novela with Grazi Massafera that had a lot of blondes and was set in Rio Grande do Norte. Nobody gots angry because it was RN.

E quem faz novelas sobre a classe alta é o Manoel Carlos. Ele insiste em suas novelas que não fazem mais sucesso, são todas baseadas no Leblon. Povo não gosta disso, Av Brasil foi um sucesso e adivinha? Foi focada na vida suburbana do Rio de janeiro, por isso o Brasil inteiro se sentiu conectado com a pobreza nacional.
