Brazil’s Jaw-Dropping Corruption Scandal Comes to Netflix
Brazil’s ongoing scandal, known as Operação Lava Jato, or Operation Car Wash, is as perversely spectacular as the most extravagantly imagined crime novel or Machiavellian episode of “House of Cards.” So it was perhaps inevitable that it would be turned into a Netflix series — by the same director who made “Narcos” for the streaming service, no less.
The result is “The Mechanism,” whose eight episodes will be available beginning March 23.
