Reception

Critical response

The journalist André Santana from television critic website Observatório da televisão, stated "O Negócio was able to reinvent itself every season, without losing sight of its initial story line... [and] the series was successful to explore its main theme in the prism of humor." He noted that "even with so many qualities, O Negócio did not escape a depletion of the formula. Therefore, the decision to finish the series at the fourth season was quite happy.", and concluded that "The story was closed at the right time, showing that the Brazilian series production on pay TV has already raised to high levels, and that the Brazilian Teledramaturgy, in general, has many paths to follow."[6]

BuzzFeed published a list of their 26 non-American favorite TV shows and O Négocio was the only Brazilian production listed.[7]
