Dom

Dom is a Brazilian crime drama and the first scripted Brazilian original series for Amazon Prime Video, created by the late filmmaker Breno Silveira. Loosely inspired by real events, it follows two intertwined lives across a generation: Victor Dantas, a former police drug-enforcement consultant, and his son Pedro, who comes to be known on the streets of Rio de Janeiro as Pedro Dom. The series moves between two timelines, tracing how a father who once helped fight the drug trade can only watch as the war reaches inside his own home.

In the present day, the adult Pedro has become a notorious leader of an armed gang that targets wealthy homes in Rio, while Victor, older and worn down, struggles to reconcile the boy he raised with the man the city now fears. In the earlier timeline, a younger Victor builds his career and family, unaware of the path ahead. The show frames Pedro's slide into addiction and crime soberly, as a slow unravelling rather than a thrill, and keeps its focus on the human cost borne by everyone around him.

At its core, Dom is a study of two destinies that mirror each other: a father defined by his fight against drugs and a son consumed by them, each unable to save the other. Adapted in part from the memoir O Beijo da Bruxa by Victor Lomba, the real father whose story inspired the series, the show treats its difficult subject with restraint, emphasising love, regret, and the limits of a parent's power. It ran for three seasons before concluding in 2024, the second season completed as a posthumous work after Silveira's death in 2022.
