Plot Synopsis

Based on an original concept by Leandro Hassum, Fabiola Alves, Gui Cintra, and Nigel Goodman, REPORTING FOR DUTY is a half-hour comedy series that follows the hectic, quirky events at a police station in the Tijuca neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, where a new -- and bumbling -- chief has just started. Suzano was born and raised in the fictional city of Campo Manso in rural Rio de Janeiro state. But after accidentally capturing a fugitive criminal affiliated with an illegal gambling ring, he finds himself transferred to the center of the action: Rio itself. The new chief's in over his head, and the 8th Precinct of Rio de Janeiro is turned upside down. None of his colleagues, who are always ready to spring into action, believe that he'll last very long there. But his rather unconventional methods, along with his huge heart, might be just the secret weapon they need to take a bite out of crime. All eight episodes of REPORTING FOR DUTY dropped on Wednesday, September 6, 2023 on Netflix.
