For those who've enjoyed other international crime series about self-described losers trying to get one over on the system -- think "Money Heist" from Spain or "Underbelly" from Australia -- "Turn of the Tide" could be your next TV addiction.

... A wild story where we might actually end up rooting for the cocaine dealers. Not the first time that’s happened on TV, of course, and it’s always fun when it does.

Jon F It was really enjoyable, some fine performances from a good ensemble. Loved the camera work, the Azores do look beautiful and stunning. The mixture of hope and desire and poverty and stuck in a rut was well done, as was the family relationships and the Church.Baddie Italians was a nice touch. Look forward to the next season.

Excellent story telling, great acting, impressive settings, it got it all just about right. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/23 Full Review Rodrigo C Rabo de Peixe is a series that portrays the lives of fishermen in a small village in the Azores. It is a captivating story of struggle, resilience and hope, with stunning scenery and authentic characters. Rabo de Peixe is the best series ever because it shows the beauty and the harshness of a unique culture and lifestyle.🐟 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/23 Full Review Lincoln R Highly etertaining.
