Rulers of Fortune exceeds in delivering a captivating story, with great photography and actors, managing to keep the viewer up on his feet during every episode. It succesfuly brings the drama of a brazilian novela to streaming in a shorter and better quality version, while depicting in a very realistic way the crime and cultural scenarios in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
