Unsuspicious Season 1 (also known as “Nada Suspeitos”) is a Portuguese dark comedy mystery series. It’s from Brazil. The story centers on Bete, Patricia, Thyellen, and their families. Jorginho Peixoto, a single man, connives to take their assets and property.
These women and their families are invited to Jorginho Peixoto’s home, where he mysteriously kills the man. They then become suspects in the police investigation.
The series progresses and it becomes clear that nearly everyone in the house knew of a dark secret, which gave them the motivation to kill Jorginho, a wealthy and notorious swindler. This is all you need to know about the finale of “Unsuspicious” season 1. SPOILERS ALERT.
PLOT OF Unsuspicious Season 2
Charles believes that Jorginho was poisoned by Washington in the finale of “Unsuspicious”, season 1, titled “The Next Victim.” Marconi is shot and killed while trying to flee. It is later discovered that Marconi’s death was not an accident.
After being thrown from the roof, he was killed. Marconi might not have actually killed Jorginho. He might have been poisoned instead by the person who shoved him.
Season 2 may reveal the identity of Yara’s father, which could be linked to the murders. The real killer will likely be revealed if he is not revealed to be the one who killed Yara.
The connections that were made in the first season might not be maintained in the second. We may also learn more about Jorginho’s life and the circumstances that led to his death.
Unsuspicious is, in my opinion, a great comedy to watch. It has a murder at its heart and plenty of comedy around it. It was quite amusing to see so many different people in one place. Each episode lasts around 30 minutes. There are nine episodes in total.
Unsuspicious Season 1 REVIEW
“Unsuspicious” is structured like a classic Whodunnit. Every episode ends with a cliffhanger that forces the viewers to skip to the next one.
The finale is the final episode and the big reveal comes in the penultimate. The overall story is left open-ended, just like in a detective story. These open threads could be used as a jumping off point if there is a second series.
The flashforward begins with Jorginho’s funeral. Jorginho invites Bete, his former wife, Patricia, and Thyellen, his prospective mistress, to his home for dinner. Each brings a member of their family. Bete is accompanied by her mother Zanina and her brother, drag queen Aquila. Jorginho is supposedly Yara’s father.
However, as we discover later, this may not be the case. Patricia arrives at the dinner along with Jorginho’s brother, Mauricio, and her friend, spiritual guru Xandra.
Thyellen arrives with her singer-slash-guitarist brother Raul. Darlisson (Darlison, in the captions), Jorginho’s friend and secretary, is also present at the dinner. He also happens to be Bete’s brother. Washington is Jorginho’s butler.
Jorginho declares to be pursuing someone and that he will transfer his assets to the women. Jorginho reveals to Bete, Patricia and Thyellen that he has robbed them and their families of everything, from Patricia’s island and private house to Patricia’s spa and Xandra’s spa to Thyellen’s church.
Jorginho offers his guests an ultimatum. They can either leave and become completely homeless or help him with his problems.
All of them reluctantly stay at Jorginho’s house. Jorginho’s plans fail to materialize as he is discovered with a sharp knife protruding from his back. He is very much dead.
Police are called and Detective Charles Nunes arrives to investigate. Charles, a klutz and not completely competent, bumbles along the way to the dead ends until Yara starts helping him. Intelligent and curious, Yara wants to find out what happened to her father.
Charles and Yara have nine suspects to choose from. Washington was initially dismissed by the suspects because he was there when Jorginho was murdered.
The penultimate episode is where the biggest revelation happens, as I mentioned. The finale is titled “The Next Victim”. In it, the perpetrator attempts to flee, prompting Charles and the rest to join forces to find him.
Unsuspicious Season 1 Ending: Who murdered Jorginho
Each of the nine suspects has their own reasons for wanting Jorginho to die. They are not restricted to Jorginho’s swindling activities though that is a significant reason. Jorginho was aware that Darlisson and Patricia were in an affair. He let Patricia know that the affair was discovered. Thyellen was stealing money from the church.
She tried to claim she was pregnant with Jorginho’s baby and gave her brother fake results from a pregnancy test. Raul, dumb as he is, showed it to Jorginho, before Thyellen had sex. To keep Jorginho away from his family, Aquila wrote numerous threat letters. Jorginho had them, and was using them for blackmailing Aquila.
Xandra was in a relationship with Patricia. Patricia and Mauricio tried to get Jorginho’s money out of Brazil and to their accounts here in Switzerland. But Jorginho discovered the plan and sent his money to a safer location. Patricia and Mauricio also tried to kill Jorginho with a gas explosion.
Jorginho survived the stabbing. Xandra stabbed Jorginho, but he was poisoned after the attack and suffered a heart attack. Jorginho died at the time. The poison was made from the flowers of the oleander plants. Charles declared Washington the murderer as Washington prepared the tea.
It turns out that Washington is actually Marconi Goncalves. He was a con artist and a mentor to Jorginho. Marconi/Washington is the one who spills all the secrets about the rest. He eventually falls off the roof as he tries to climb on a helicopter for his escape, and he dies. Later, Yara discovers Marconi’s number.
He was on a phone call at the time of his suicide. Charles and Yara discover that Marconi was being pushed to death by another person. This means Marconi was killed by someone who had a vested motive to keep him from divulging more secrets.
Who murdered Marconi/Washington
Marconi doesn’t believe Jorginho was killed. He claims that he has no reason to hurt his mentee, who is now a fake employer. If Marconi hasn’t killed Jorginho then it must be the person pushing Marconi to the top. It is most likely the same person Jorginho claimed was after Jorginho at the start of the series.
Jorginho would not have invited it to his house if it was one of the three women. It could be any of the six other individuals, but they will still be with Marconi when he dies.
Even if one of the three women is considered the person who chased Jorginho, the other two run in three directions after Marconi’s gunshot. In the short time that Marconi fired the gunshot, it is almost impossible for them to reach the roof.
One possibility is that someone has been living in the house for a while, and they have managed to hide in the corridors between walls. Marconi or Yara are the only people who knew about these corridors after Jorginho’s passing.
Marconi appears to be surprised just before he is about to be pushed off the roof. It’s almost as if he finds someone he doesn’t know. His reaction would not be so extreme if it were one of the guests.
Who is Yara’s dad?
Yara confronts her mom about her biological father’s identity towards the end of the season. Bete confesses she doesn’t know, but she asserts that she was both father and mother to Yara. The latter appears to be happy with this and drops the matter. If there is a second series, it will likely be a significant part of the story.
It is interesting to note that Jorginho likely knew that Yara was not his daughter. Bete claimed that Jorginho knew Bete was wrong and that he did not have any reason to believe Bete. He did exactly that, and even took multiple photos of the girl at various stages in Yara’s childhood.
He left Yara 50% of his wealth. This could be because he was not sure of the paternity and, like Bete before him, decided to claim Yara for his daughter.
Jorginho was a pragmatic man, so it is possible that Yara chose to use Jorginho against her biological father. This would be the same person who hid in secret corridors and killed Marconi and Jorginho.
