I saw a really interesting Netflix documentary about this. It’s all in Spanish with subtitles, but it’s worth the watch if it’s still on there.

Is it really Spanish or do you mean Portuguese? I guess there is a chance a Spanish speaking team would investigate and create the show but wouldn't seem likely to me

Seems like it's in Portuguese according to Wikipedia. The English name of it is Killer Ratings

Killer Ratings, that’s it! I couldn’t remember the name when I made the post, and I didn’t have time to try and look it up. Thanks!

Yeah, I only speak English, so it all sounds like Spanish to me!
