3% {NETFLIX SERIES} #1 - One chance. Only 3% make it through. Who will see the Offshore?


3% is a Brazilian dystopian thriller series created by Pedro Aguilera, starring Bianca Comparato and João Miguel.[1] Developed from a 2009[3] independent pilot episode, it is Netflix's first original Brazilian production and the second produced in Latin America, after Club de Cuervos.[4]

The show is set in a future wherein people are given a chance to go to the "better side" of a world divided between progress and affluence in the Offshore, and devastation and poverty in the Inland, but only 3% of the candidates succeed.

OMG has anyone watched this? ive only seen the pilot and I AM OBSESSED WITH IT. It was so freaking good! Its like a nice mix of hunger games, the 100 and something else the I cant put my finger on, but even better.

I love the diversity of the cast and the way it was filmed. I was hesitant to watch because of the subtitles but man, its so good.

The little twist the end of the first episode was a bit predictable but I loved how they revealed it. So cool. I cannot wait to watch more episodes.

I'm so glad somebody else is watching this show. Can’t wait to hear your impressions about the rest of the season. It's quite addictive, I spent two free days binging through it and I regret nothing

The pilot reveal was predictable indeed.
Spoiler:


The show is a bit formulaic, but interesting enough imo. I've never watched any Brazilian shows before (except soaps). And the diversity in the cast is awesome.

Oh, it reminded me of The Maze Runner.

Glad someone else is watching too! I love the diversity.

I agree that the "mole" was pretty obvious but I did like how they revealed it. Im gonna try to watch 2 more episodes tonight. I'm def. planning to watch at least 1 a night, I WANT to binge it all but I have other shows. Maybe by Sunday I can though if I finish everything else I have to watch.

eta:

102:

The lady that came to oversee the tests is suspicious to me. Aline?

I like Joana, she is fiesty. Her makeout with that dude was hot. IT WAS SAVAGE when she took the coin. But I loved it.

It was cool to see this episode focused on Fernando, I like when episodes shift focus to certain characters.

I loved episode 3! I loved finding out more about Joana. Joana/Rafael are great together and Joana’s not registered either. What is her real name? Her past is really sad and tragic but it explains her personality.

Episode 4 was good too, I liked seeing everyone trapped. I loved Marco at first so it sucks they kinda turned him into a jerk, but I guess he was al privileged because of his family. This episode in general was just so awful. So violent.

Rafael is so cute. I love that he stood up to Marco. Oh SHYT that little twist at the end was nuts! So Tiago took Rafael’s registration? What a little jerk! But then they said he was part of the cause, so did he tell that to Michelle?

And Joana is still amazing, I love that she made it out of the dorms.

I love Joana and Joana/Rafael too. This is going to be spoilery about the end of the season:
Spoiler:

Character development maybe my favorite thing about this show. Their characters seem capable of fundamentally changing their worldviews and I often find that lacking in many shows.

I finished the series!

107 was a slower episode for me because it focused on Julia and Ezequiel but it answered who the little boy was. But, the lady looked like 30+ to me not around 25 which she was supposed to be if she had that kid at 20. And Ezequiel looks in his 40’s? That was a bit of an age gap… And how awful, leaving your kids when you go to the other side. :/


106 was more interesting to me…. The poor little boy that got left behind. How is he surviving on his own?

I’m confused on why they didn’t care that Joana was fake registered?

I did like the individual tests though. I’m glad Fernando found out about Michele and Rafaelo/Tiago. Michele’s little rant about the process was sort of making her obvious as the mole. And wouldn’t they know about her brother dying in the process though? They should have his record and they had a photo of him in her room? So she should have known they knew the truth.

The last few episodes were okay, but boring in parts….

the 3% being announced was a bit anti-climatic, I thought there was going to be one more test. And Ezekiel knowing it was Michele was a bit expected? Is her brother really alive or not? And why exactly did Ezekiel let her go through?


Itt was cool seeing it all come to a close but I wanted to actually see the offshore. And what will happen to Joana and Fernando? Will they join the cause too?

Raf/Tiago was my favorite all the way through! joana a very close second!

That episode with Julia and Ezequiel dragged for me too. I wish they had done his backstory through flashbacks intersected with the main arc (which is how they did it for everyone else anyway), it would have been less boring.

I watched this series this weekend. It was quite enjoyable. I had a tough time getting through the first episode (the first part especially) but after that it really picked up.

The teaser trailer?

I'm so glad they put out a trailer because I've been wondering when the second season was going to come out.. there was no information that I could find.

So at least sometime this year.. Someone said in the comments April, but I'm not sure.
