1. ›3% — S2E1: Mirror 🪞87@marlennediaz3d

   Back to the world of 3%! After enjoying the first season so much, I was really curious to see where the story would go next, especially now that we know more about The Process and the people fighting against it.

   

   What I liked about this premiere is that the focus has shifted. Instead of simply watching candidates compete for a better life, we're starting to see more of the conflict between the Offshore and the Cause.

   

   Joana continues to be one of my favorite characters. Her determination to prove herself feels natural after everything she experienced, although it's clear that gaining someone's trust isn't going to be easy.

   

   Meanwhile, Michele's situation with Ezequiel adds another layer of tension. I find their relationship particularly interesting because it's difficult to know who actually has the upper hand.

   

   This wasn't the most intense episode of the series, but I enjoyed how it set up new conflicts without forgetting what made the first season interesting.

   A promising start to Season 2. I'm especially looking forward to learning more about the Offshore and the secrets behind this society.

   My rating: 87/100 ⭐

2. ›3% — S1E8: Button 🔴93@marlennediaz11d

   And just like that, I've finished the first season of 3%! Honestly, I wasn't expecting this Brazilian sci-fi series to keep me so interested from beginning to end.

   The season finale brings us to the Purification Ritual, and I really liked how everything becomes more complicated just when the candidates seem so close to achieving their dreams.

   

   What stood out to me was how much the characters have changed since the first episode. After all the tests, betrayals, and difficult decisions, it's fascinating to see what each person is willing to sacrifice for a chance to reach the Offshore.

   

   The revelations and shifting loyalties made this episode particularly satisfying. I also appreciated that the finale didn't try to answer every question. There's still plenty to discover about this world.

   

   Looking back, I think the strongest part of this season was never the futuristic setting itself, but the way it explored human behavior, inequality, ambition, and survival.

   

   My rating: 93/100 ⭐

   Season 1 overall rating: 88/100 ⭐

   I'm definitely looking forward to Season 2!

3. ›3% — S1E7: Capsule 💊90@marlennediaz13d

   Just when I thought the candidates of 3% could finally enjoy a little peace, this episode reminded me that nothing in The Process is ever that simple.

   After so many difficult tests, the celebration felt like a well-deserved break. For a moment, it was nice to see the candidates behaving like ordinary young people instead of constantly competing against each other. But of course, that happiness didn't last long.

   

   The discovery of a possible traitor completely changes the atmosphere. Suddenly, everyone becomes suspicious, and the interrogations bring back the tension we've come to expect from this series.

   

   What I found particularly interesting was how quickly trust disappears when people feel threatened. Even after everything they've experienced together, the candidates still have reasons to doubt one another.

   

   I also liked seeing the officials lose some of their confidence. They're usually the ones controlling everything, but this time, they seem genuinely worried about what's happening.

   With only one episode left in the season, I'm really curious to see how everything will come together. This was a good episode that helped build anticipation for the finale.

   My rating: 90/100 ⭐

4. ›3% — S1E6: Glass 🪞88@marlennediaz23d

   This episode of 3% really made me think about how difficult it can be to walk away from something you've sacrificed so much to achieve.

   The offer waiting for the candidates in their new dorm rooms was an interesting twist. After everything they've been through, they're suddenly given a choice that seems almost too good to be true. I liked how this situation tested their determination in a completely different way.

   

   But the individual challenges were what really caught my attention. Without a group to rely on, each candidate has to confront their own weaknesses and make some uncomfortable decisions.

   

   What I enjoy about this series is that the tests aren't always about finding the correct answer. Sometimes they're about discovering who you really are when nobody else can help you.

   I wouldn't call it my favorite episode, but it definitely kept me interested in seeing who will make it to the end.

   My rating: 88/100 ⭐

5. ›3% — S1E5: Water 💧86@marlennediaz32d

   This episode of 3% takes a break from the intense physical challenges and focuses on something just as interesting: Ezequiel's past.

   I have to admit, I wasn't expecting to feel any sympathy for him. Until now, he's been this mysterious and intimidating figure who seems to have complete control over The Process. But seeing his painful memories gives him a much more human side.

   

   Aline also becomes increasingly interesting. She's clearly intelligent and ambitious, but her decision to use Ezequiel's secrets as leverage shows that the people running The Process can be just as ruthless as the candidates.

   

   What I enjoyed most was how this episode reminded me that nobody in this world is completely innocent. Everyone seems to be hiding something, and power always comes with a price.

   

   It wasn't as action-packed as the previous episode, but I appreciated the character development. Sometimes understanding the people behind the system is more interesting than watching another test.

   My rating: 86/100 ⭐

6. ›3% — S1E4: Gate 🚪89@marlennediaz38d

   This episode of 3% was a great example of how quickly people can change when survival becomes part of the test.

   

   Being trapped in the dorms without food or water initially feels like another puzzle to solve together. But as time passes, cooperation starts disappearing and desperation takes over. I really liked this idea because the real challenge isn't the room itself — it's how the candidates react when resources become limited.

   

   Marco was the biggest surprise for me. Until now, he seemed like someone who could remain calm and reasonable, but the sudden change in the test reveals a completely different side of him. It was uncomfortable to watch, but that's exactly what made the episode interesting.

   

   The Process keeps proving that intelligence alone isn't enough. Every test seems designed to discover what people are capable of when they're pushed far enough.

   Definitely one of the most intense episodes so far.

   My rating: 89/100 ⭐

7. ›3% — S1E3: Corridor 🌑87@marlennediaz44d

   3% — S1E3: Corridor 🌑

   This episode of 3% felt darker and much more psychological than the previous ones.

   The tunnel test was simple in concept, but the darkness and uncertainty made it genuinely tense. What caught my attention the most was Joana. Until now, she has seemed incredibly tough and almost impossible to intimidate, but this episode finally gives us a glimpse of something from her past that still affects her.

   

   I liked seeing that vulnerable side of her. It makes her feel more human and also raises a lot of questions about what she experienced before entering The Process.

   

   Meanwhile, Ezequiel's unexpected visitor makes his story even more mysterious. There's clearly much more happening behind The Process than the candidates realize.

   Three episodes in, I think the series is getting better at making each test reveal something about the characters instead of being just another challenge.

   My rating: 87/100 ⭐

8. ›3% — S1E2: Coins 🪙85@marlennediaz46d

   The second episode of 3% made The Process feel much more personal.

   Fernando's medical examination was probably the moment that stayed with me the most. What should have been a routine step turns into something much more complicated, and I liked how the episode used his situation to show that even a supposed opportunity can come with uncomfortable choices.

   

   Then we get the coin puzzle. I really enjoyed this test because the challenge isn't only finding the logical solution — it's dealing with everyone else while the pressure keeps rising. Trust is already becoming a very scarce resource.

   

   Meanwhile, Aline's investigation into Ezequiel adds another layer to the story. Clearly, The Process has secrets beyond what the candidates are seeing.

   

   Two episodes in, I'm getting more interested in the characters and especially in the psychology behind each test.

   My rating: 85/100 ⭐

9. ›3% — S1E1: Cubes 🧩82@marlennediaz49d

   Starting 3% for the first time, and this opening episode did a pretty good job of pulling me into its world.

   The idea is simple but disturbing: everyone gets one chance at the age of 20 to go through The Process, but only 3% will earn a place in the Offshore. What I liked most about this first episode is how quickly that idea becomes uncomfortable. The tests aren't just about intelligence. They expose ambition, desperation, selfishness, and how far someone might go when they believe a better life is within reach.

   

   Michele immediately feels important, but I'm probably even more curious about characters like Joana and Rafael. It's already difficult to know who can actually be trusted.

   

   The cube test was a particularly good introduction to the philosophy of the show. Something that looks like a simple puzzle quickly becomes much more about the people taking it.

   

   It's not a perfect premiere, and I'm still getting used to the world and characters, but it definitely made me want to continue.

   My rating: 82/100 ⭐
