Portugal misses this types of shows: shows that couldn't be made anywhere else, because they are solely based on our own popular references. Only a portuguese can identify saul ricardo (and be aware he exists) in the first episode for example. Or knows the portuguese version of the price is right - which is way more than just a tv show. And who knows who joao baiao is and the impact of "big show sic" the tv show he hosted? Exactly.
Than our soap operas have their own specifics. Which means that you need to know a bunch of portuguese pop culture and portuguese soap operas. So yeah, before watching "por do sol" you should maybe live in portugal for like 10 years lol. Or at least having someone portuguese to explain almost all the jokes to you.
The characters and the plot arent really important, they just need to exist. This is a spoof, so the plot is pretty much the plot of a standard soap opera - with the difference that the dialogues are all non sense. I dont think this is an amazing piece of work neither the best comedy portugal ever produced - but it does make a very poignant parody of our soap operas. And we need portuguese shows like water in the desert.
