LatestAs the final looms and pressure mounts for Brazil to bring the cup home, the star player isn't in top form — but he's definitely not dead.
In 1970, the Brazilian national team took the field with big dreams and an even bigger challenge: to become the first three-time world champions.
Production
Recreated 1970 World Cup with obsessive period detail.
Acting
Santoro's Saldanha is volcanic, doomed, magnetic.
Cinematography
Mexico '70 heat shimmers off every frame.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rodrigo Santoro spent six months learning Portuguese with a 1970 Rio accent, distinct from his own Bahian roots.
The military regime actively promoted the '70 victory as propaganda; the series finally asks who paid the price. Episode 4's stadium reconstruction required building a partial Azteca replica in São Paulo.
