Criminal Code, also known as DNA Do Time, is a Brazilian Netflix original series. It follows the investigation from detectives and a special unit trying to find the members of a mysterious gang involved and responsible for a string of heists and prison breaks in Brazil and Paraguay. It's actually inspired by a true story, but it takes certain liberties for dramatic purposes.

After a prison break leaves his partner dead, Benicio (Rômulo Braga), a federal police officer, begins tracking the movements of others involved while hellbent on find a man named, Soulless, who killed his partner. I hadn't seen a thrilling series like this one on Netflix in a long time (until I watched Berlin about a month later). If you like heist shows with criminal organization elements, along with law enforcement's ensuing investigation, Criminal Code is absolutely a must-watch on Netflix.

There is one season of Criminal Code available to stream on Netflix right now, but there's already a second season of Criminal Code in the works. Netflix renewed the series for season 2 less than one month after the series premiered. You know it's a popular show when that happens. We'll keep you posted on the status of Criminal Code season 2. Most likely, it won't return until late 2024 at the very earliest.

Criminal Code is also on the list of the best Netflix action shows of 2023!
