Crazy About You

Viola and Luma are linked by an uncanny coincidence: they share a birthday but come from opposite sides of life. Years after being born into different worlds, their paths cross again when Viola, who grew up with little, moves with her boyfriend Mavi to Angra dos Reis and bumps into Rudá, Luma's wealthy partner. Attraction, friendship and rivalry deepen as the two women trade places in each other’s lives over a span of ten years. What starts with a shared interest in recipes turns into an obsession over the same man, pulling them into a tangled love quadrangle that is complicated further by secrets, betrayals and the mystery of a murder that hangs over their lives.

Created by João Emanuel Carneiro, Eliane Garcia and Márcia Prates, Crazy About You premiered in 2024, directed across episodes by Noa Bressane, Isabella Teixeira, Philippe Barcinski, Guilherme Azevedo and Igor Verde. The show blends soap opera pacing with a serialized mystery structure common to contemporary Brazilian drama.

Audience reaction sits around a 6.8/10 average from early viewers, reflecting mixed but engaged responses. The series leans into themes of class disparity, identity and obsession, using melodramatic plot turns and slow-burn revelations to keep viewers guessing while asking who gets to rewrite someone else’s life.

Featuring a cast that includes Gabz, Agatha Moreira, Chay Suede, Nicolas Prattes and Adriana Esteves, the show has prompted discussion for mixing familiar telenovela elements with noir-tinged mystery. Its seaside setting, culinary motifs and shifting loyalties have made certain scenes and character moments memorable to fans of the genre, even if it hasn’t become a mainstream phenomenon overnight.

No major awards have been reported for the series so far, but the performances and the central conceit have been highlighted in early commentary. Viewers drawn to character-driven melodrama with a dark undercurrent will find plenty to talk about in the weeks after each episode airs.
