Vertebral Column - Temporada 1
1 - O Cheio, o Meio e o Feio
Air Date: November 7, 2025
In a biting and humorous tone, "O Cheio, o Meio e o Feio" analyzes the 2026 presidential elections through three political archetypes: Ventura, the "full of himself"; Mendes and Seguro, the "middle-of-the-road" who try to please everyone; and Gouveia e Melo, the "swan" who became the "ugly duckling." A satirical portrait of the fragmentation and vanity that mark current Portuguese politics.
2 - Episode 2
Air Date: November 21, 2025
In a human and reflective tone, 'O melhor do Mundo são os velhinhos' explores the growing loneliness among the elderly in Portugal and the silent, yet essential, role of the GNR (National Republican Guard) in combating this reality. Based on the 'Idosos em Segurança' program, the text shows how closeness, listening, and a simple ring of the doorbell can make a difference in the lives of those who have lost almost everything—except the desire to be remembered. A reflection on aging, abandonment, and the importance of not leaving anyone behind.
