New Brazilian comedy from Amazon Prime Video, disjoined presents a light plot with a good execution that promises to entertain all audiences.

Camila (Letícia Lima) and shard (Gabriel Godoy) are a couple who live in a beautiful apartment in Barra da Tijuca. The problem is that, after the seven-year crisis, they can't stand each other anymore. But none of them have the money to stay there alone. Decided for separation, but plunged into debt, the two must share the same roof as two “disjoint” as they try to find ways to pay the debts.

With Camila being a saleswoman at a multilevel marketing store and Caco an unemployed chemical engineer just waiting for the money from the lawsuit against the company to come out, money is not coming in at the moment and the only alternative will be to join forces to settle the disputes, learn to live under the same roof and face the world of singleness with your ex on your tail.

The narrative approaches the separation of the two in a very light way, putting new relationships in the balance - and in the apartment - in a short time, from which both sides take it well. The friendship between the couple continues, apparently, the only dispute is about the material goods they are not ready to give up, be it the brand new car or the chic condominium where they live. It is a great criticism of the production, showing how far they intend to let themselves be harmed by the need for status.

The humor is mostly in the search for money to settle the separation once and for all. With Camila's dealership struggling to get up and Caco unemployed, the temporary solutions for extra income show real difficulties, with Caco entering ventures that are completely outside her area and Camila trying to increase the advertising of her business using social networks, where you have to make a lot of comic decisions to be able to afford it.

Throughout the season, the commonplace situations and the well-placed sprinklings of comedies manage to entertain and captivate the viewer, arousing curiosity to know what will be the result of this separation, and if this couple will really be separated, since the relationship they maintain is as well structured as friends, which leaves the doubt that they can still go back on that decision.

The reservations are about the supporting cast, which only seems to emerge as a springboard for the couple's situations. Even the closest ones like Danni Suzuki and Yuri Marcal they have no development at all, having parts of their lives exposed just to complete the main plot or bring a joke. There is even mention of a homosexual character who apparently comes out during the arc, but there is no impact on that fact.

disjoining it is an interesting work, which maintains a fast and pleasant rhythm. Even with its issues to be improved, it is a series that entertains, makes punctual reviews and entertains the viewer.
