Good Morning, Veronica is a crime drama following the story of Veronica Torres, a married police clerk and a mother of two children who sees a woman commit suicide the same week as she receives a mysterious call from an anonymous woman, looking for help. While a work of fiction, for the most part, the Brazilian Netflix series does have its basis in some true stories of domestic violence.
Is Good Morning, Veronica based on a true story?
As far as the narrative goes, the series is not based on a single true story and is indeed a work of fiction. However. there may just be a little true crime involved in the series that has been overlooked. On IMDb, it is suggested that there are elements of certain cases that have their basis in reality. The site states:
“The abuses suffered by Janete are based on real accounts of domestic abuse researched by the writers, such as the sauce scene. Some of Brandao (the abuser)’s lines were taken verbatim from a real story.”
The series has been adapted from a book of the same name by Raphael Montes who would use his novel as the basis for the show. Montes would create the show alongside Ilana Casoy, who worked on the show under the name Andrea Killmore. Raphael Montes is a celebrated crime writer and a lawyer, so he has an insight into the world of law.
What is Raphael Montes known for?
Born in 1990, Montes is probably most well known for his novel Perfect Days in 2014. Before that in 2010, Montes took part in a competition instigated by Brazilian publishing house Benvirá/Saraiva, in which his novel Suicidas was highly acclaimed, leading to a second place in the competition and eventually to the work being published in 2012. His young age and the horrific themes would lead to him making a name for himself.
