Gonna give myself some thread fail cushion and assume that I am the only person in the world who actually watches this show, but 
what the hell, here goes nothing...
So, I've been a fan of the show since season 1, and it has it's ups and downs but overall it's really well done. I think it's Brazilian Portuguese so it's subtitled. But the acting, script, sets and music are really great! Season 3 was a huge dip in quality but it set up a lot of plot lines to be resolved in season 4 (not everything was resolved perfectly, but they mostly did a good job... I have no doubt they were rushed by Netflix, seeing as how so many shows get cancelled these days).
Quick plot synopsis: The world has all but ended, and 97% of the remaining population all live in this dust bowl, piece of shit, mega slum called The Inland, while the remaining 3% live on a lush, paradise-utopia island called The Offshore. At 20 years of age, Inlanders go through The Process (a series of tests) to earn their way into The Offshore. Only 3% of those who go through The Process will pass and be granted citizenship to The Offshore. Fuckery ensues and shit gets intense...
There is a lot of clever writing, some action, some really, really good acting, great drama that I actually gave a shit about, and over all it sends a pretty unbiased message to people on all sides of the social and political spectrums. I feel like you saw an all sides approach to addressing concerns inequality, justice and morality. At times I found myself agreeing with the perspective of the Offshore'ers, and other times I found myself taking the side of The Inlanders. But then within those groups exist even more sub-groups who don't all agree with each other, much like we see in the real world. Things get really interesting, and it's a bumpy ride (i think an actor or two bailed before the end of the show) but with only 4 seasons, I really have to recommend giving it a try. You might be pleasantly surprised,.
Just finished season 4 and I was really happy with the ending. I'm assuming Netlfix was cancelling it soon so they wrapped it up quick, and that kind of shows, but not too much tbh. I think they did a good job with what they had. But I've never enjoyed a foreign show so much! I usually don't get into them but this one really captured me. I was just wondering if anyone else watched it. If you haven't, do yourself a favor and give it a try. If anything, just to check out the sets they put together for The Inland. They really went all out making it look like this weird yet wonderful mega slum, filled with oddities, bizzaro shit and lots of grime and dirt. Then you have The Offshore where everything is perfect and clean. They did a good job all around for this show and I kind of hope it opens the door for more foreign TV to come to Netflix.
