Crime Time

The series follows the rise and descent of a small-time cop from Manaus as he becomes "Tony", the almighty host of the show "Crime Time". Tony knows how to keep his audience happy, even if he has to commit some of the crimes himself... In Brazil, the TV show "Crime Time" plunges viewers into the living Hell of favelas and murderous gangs every evening. Antonio "Tony" Padaratz, the show's star presenter, is a celebrity everyone wants a part of, an influential man with a Midas touch. But it wasn't always that way. How did some poor beat cop born in the favelas rise to be king of TV ratings? Adriano Gantas, Tony's one-time colleague, seems to wonder the same thing. (HBO Europe)
