What to expect from Reporting for Duty? Plot and cast details revealed
Reporting for Duty centers around a cop who's transferred to Rio de Janeiro after he accidentally ends up capturing a wanted criminal. There, he struggles to catch up with the highly dynamic environment, but his unorthodox methods surprisingly turn out to be successful. Here's the official synopsis of the show, according to Netflix:
''Suzano (Leandro Hassum) 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 description further reads,
''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.''
Netflix dropped the official trailer for the comedy series on August 9, 2023, and it offers a glimpse of the numerous interesting and hilarious events set to unfold in the new show.
The trailer clearly shows the protagonist's eventful life after moving to Rio de Janeiro and establishes the premise quite well. It has a vibrant and lively tone that fans of buddy/cop comedy flicks and TV shows would certainly find interesting.
The lead actor Leandro Hassum looks brilliant in the trailer as he wonderfully portrays his character with his own unique style of humor. His other acting credits include Histórias Quase Verdadeiras, Família Paraíso, Just Short of Perfect, and many more. The rest of the cast includes Luciana Paes, Taumaturgo Ferreira, Cauê Campos, and many more.
