Malhação is a Brazilian soap opera for the teenage audience. The soap started in 1995, and was set in a fictional Gym Club called Malhação on Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro. Through the years the location varied slightly. Although the name of the soap remains the same, it is now set in the Múltipla Escolha (Portuguese for "Multiple Choice") High School. In 2009, the location became a High School placed within a Shopping mall.

Malhação is very popular in Portugal (known as New Wave, broadcast on SIC). The show inspired others soaps, like TVI's Morangos com Açúcar, which is strongly based on the Malhação format, and Rede Record's Alta Estação.

The show reached its peak in 2004, with Guilherme Berenguer and Juliana Didone as the leads, and the ratings decreased from this season on. In 2005 and 2006, Malhação lost a huge part of its fanbase to the Mexican teen soap Rebelde, airing at SBT. Malhação used the technique Cold open by the end of 2007.

[edit] Criticism

The soap is criticized because it reflects only a small part of the 1990s and 2000s Brazilian generation. It is also criticized because the education system displayed in the soap is the one available to middle-class and rich students only, unrealistic for most students in public schools of poor areas. Some of the main girls have also been accused by fans of following the Mary Sue stereotype. The show also attracts controversy for not portraying teenagers like they really are, without alcohol consumption, drugs, among other themes that are recurring in the life on young people in Rio de Janeiro and other cities around the world.

[edit] Malhação main characters and actors since 1995

Like American soap operas, cast and characters change from year to year, but actors and characters who have stayed for long in the soap are, among others, Alexandre Slaviero whose character "Kiko" has experienced changes (he has gone from student, to bad boy, to steroid addict, to model) and Sérgio Hondjakoff, whose character Cabeção, was in the story from 2000 to 2005.
