Falabella have obtained excellent characters, which is where some tension, spring willing to unclench at any time, and Rita is as it appears on the screen.

Brazilian soap operas - it is one, but a very long novel, which the author, at times, tired of his characters and is distracted by others. The "Avenida Brasil" lack of colorful actors: the spectator passes kaleidoscope of characters, consisting of a mixture of different backgrounds, education, views on life, among the heroes there are those who have always trusted the cleaning maid's room, and those who grew up in a landfill surrounded the same single hungry children.
