### Premise
Verônica Torres works as a clerk (escrivã) at the Homicide Police Station in São Paulo, living a bureaucratic routine within the system. Married and the mother of two, she witnesses a suicide that brings painful wounds from her past back to the surface. That same week she receives an anonymous call from a desperate woman crying out for her life, and she decides to use her investigative skills on two cases: a young suicide victim deceived by a scammer on the internet, and the subjugated wife of an intelligent serial killer. As she goes deeper, she faces a wicked world that endangers her family and her own existence.[4](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-confirms-second-season-of-the-brazilian-series-good-morning-veronica)
The two central cases of the first season are those of Tânia (Aline Borges), a woman deceived by a scammer who begins his attack through the internet, and Janete (Camila Morgado), the wife of Brandão (Eduardo Moscovis), a dangerous serial killer who hides behind the facade of a loving husband and exemplary professional. In her investigations Verônica comes up against the precinct chief Carvana (Antônio Grassi) and the police delegate Anita (Elisa Volpatto).[1](https://about.netflix.com/pt_br/news/good-morning-veronica-netflixs-first-original-thriller-in-brazil-gets)
### Seasons
**Season 1 (2020).** Eight episodes premiered on October 1, 2020, running roughly 41 to 49 minutes each.[7](https://www.netflix.com/title/80221223?fromWatch=true) The season follows Verônica from the witnessed suicide through her cat-and-mouse pursuit of Brandão, ending with her going rogue to seek revenge for Tânia and Janete.[7](https://www.netflix.com/title/80221223?fromWatch=true)
**Season 2 (2022).** Netflix confirmed the renewal on November 10, 2020, with Montes promising that Verô would face "an even more cruel villain than Brandão". The six-episode season was released on August 3, 2022.[4](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-confirms-second-season-of-the-brazilian-series-good-morning-veronica) • [2](https://www.kinoafisha.info/en/series/6065/seasons/)
**Season 3, The Final Hunt (2024).** Netflix announced the third season on January 10, 2024, as the last in the saga, with three episodes closing the story; it premiered on February 14, 2024. The season is driven by the question "Who is Doúm?": searching for the third brother, Verônica investigates the orphanage where Brandão and Matias grew up and meets Jerônimo ([Rodrigo Santoro](https://www.edgepedia.org/rodrigo-santoro)), a millionaire horse breeder, and his mother Diana (Maitê Proença), who conceals secrets about the place's macabre past. When a mafioso puts Verô's family in danger, she risks everything in a dangerous pursuit that puts her life on the line.[3](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/get-ready-for-the-final-hunt-netflix-reveals-the-release-date-for-the-third) Across its run the series totaled 17 episodes.[8](https://watch.plex.tv/en-GB/show/good-morning-veronica)
## The novel and its authors
The series adapts the crime novel *Bom Dia, Verônica*, published by Darkside Books in 2016 under the pseudonym Andrea Killmore. The book sold 10,000 copies in its first printing, and readers speculated about the true identity of its author until the secret was revealed: the criminologist and writer Ilana Casoy and the writer and screenwriter Raphael Montes had written the novel together, mixing real crime and fiction.[1](https://about.netflix.com/pt_br/news/good-morning-veronica-netflixs-first-original-thriller-in-brazil-gets) Montes wanted a female heroine, and Casoy asked that she be invisible, an ordinary figure within the police system.[5](https://vejasp.abril.com.br/cidades/canalha-as-vezes-e-so-um-canalha-escritora-bom-dia-veronica/)
## Production
Raphael Montes created the series and adapted it for television, writing the scripts with Ilana Casoy, Gustavo Bragança, Davi Kolb, and Carol Garcia. José Henrique Fonseca served as general director and executive producer alongside Eduardo Pop, Ilana Casoy, and Raphael Montes, with Izabel Jaguaribe and Rog de Souza also directing. The production company is Zola Filmes, a Rio de Janeiro company founded in 2011 by Fonseca, Pop, and Bragança and devoted exclusively to fictional content.[1](https://about.netflix.com/pt_br/news/good-morning-veronica-netflixs-first-original-thriller-in-brazil-gets) The score is by Dado Villa-Lobos and Roberto Schilling, and the trailer featured [Elza Soares](https://www.edgepedia.org/elza-soares) singing "Maria da Vila Matilde".[1](https://about.netflix.com/pt_br/news/good-morning-veronica-netflixs-first-original-thriller-in-brazil-gets)
Tainá Müller described an intensive preparation for the title role: classes in fight, self-defense, and shooting, a laboratory placement at the Homicide Police Station to observe how investigations and crime-scene analysis work, and specific study of how femicide occurs.[6](https://jc.uol.com.br/cultura/2020/10/11980176-alem-do-thriller---bom-dia--veronica--evidencia-feminicidio-na-netflix.html)
## Themes and critical discussion
The series is framed by Netflix under the genres of Brazilian productions, book adaptations, mysteries, crime shows, and thrillers, tagged as gritty, dark, suspenseful, and serial-killer drama.[7](https://www.netflix.com/title/80221223?fromWatch=true) Brazilian coverage at the premiere emphasized that beyond the thriller format it addresses domestic violence, femicide, and police corruption.[6](https://jc.uol.com.br/cultura/2020/10/11980176-alem-do-thriller---bom-dia--veronica--evidencia-feminicidio-na-netflix.html) Commentators noted that Janete's situation mirrors patterns common among abused women: fear of the aggressor, physical violence, monitored routines, no internet access, and no contact with family.[9](https://saude.abril.com.br/coluna/com-a-palavra/bom-dia-veronica-e-a-triste-realidade-da-violencia-domestica-no-brasil/)
Academic work has examined how the show frames violence against women. A 2024 study in *Estudos em Jornalismo e Mídia* analyzed the first season through the actions of the police character Brandão and distinguished two framings in Brazilian fiction: violence as hatred of women tied to a culture of misogyny, and violence as the consequence of individual pathology. The authors argue that the pathologizing framing contributes to an uncritical view of the phenomenon, making the structural dimension of misogyny invisible.[10](https://openurl.ebsco.com/contentitem/doi%3A10.5007/1984-6924.2024.101428?id=ebsco%3Adoi%3A10.5007%2F1984-6924.2024.101428&sid=ebsco%3Aplink%3Acrawler) A 2024 study in the USP journal *Rumores* read the series as an example of intermediality and local-global cultural mediation in the SVoD platform era, a Netflix co-production with Zola Filmes created by crime writers within the police genre.[11](https://revistas.usp.br/Rumores/article/download/226256/210674/735297)
