: The show is loosely based on the life of Raquel Pacheco , a middle-class young woman who ran away from home to become a call girl in São Paulo under the name " Bruna Surfistinha ".

Knowing that the real Bruna Surfistinha eventually became a media mogul, DJ, and activist adds a layer of weight to the fictionalized struggles we see on screen. Final Verdict: Is it worth the watch?
