  • Actress Letícia Rodrigues said the production was shot on built sets, including inside a large factory space, clarifying that scenes were not filmed in the operational Tremembé penitentiary.
  • After the series debuted, Suzane von Richthofen reactivated her Su Entrelinhas online shop and reported a sharp rise in orders, thanking followers on Instagram and noting she personally handles customer messages.
  • Press coverage highlights the show’s casting and characterization, with Marina Ruy Barbosa portraying Suzane von Richthofen and praise from O Globo for the production’s visual transformation of the ensemble.
