Laços de Família is a Brazilian telenovela produced by TV Globo and aired from June 5, 2000 to February 3, 2001 in 209 chapters. It replaced Terra Nostra and was replaced by Porto dos Milagres, being the 59th "novela das oito" aired by the network.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Several memorable scenes, with the well-known scene where Camila has her hair shaved off because of her leukemia, which greatly encouraged bone marrow donation in Brazil, as well as the donation of organs throughout Latin America and the United States, when the soap opera was shown there.
 * 2) Good opening, which is shown in the form of paintings, to the sound of Corcovado. The soap opera's logo at the end of the opening, which shows two golden rings forming a heart is perfect.
 * 3) Great acting, except for Reynaldo Gianecchini (see BQ #02).

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Of all the characters in the telenovela, Camila is considered the worst character in the entire telenovela, for being a complete cynical who steals Edu, her mother Helena's boyfriend, despite the scene where her hair is shaved off, for having leukemia is still memorable. As much because of her infamy, several fans of the telenovela made hate websites against her, and even a community on Orkut against her was made four years after the end of the telenovela in 2001.
 * 2) * Íris, despite being one of the best characters of the soap opera with the fans, because for being very against Camila for good reasons, also suffered hate with some viewers, so much so that the character's actress Deborah Secco was beaten in a supermarket. Her aggressor hit her with a bag, and while hitting her, she said that she hated Íris a lot. Deborah said she wasn't bothered and was happy with her character's repercussion.
 * 3) Reynaldo Gianecchini's performance in the telenovela is very weak, despite the justification of being his first telenovela as an actor. Fortunately, he improved a lot as an actor after the end of the soap opera.
 * 4) When it was rerun two times in 2005 and 2020 on Vale a Pena Ver de Novo, unfortunately some scenes had to be cut for having violence and sexual content, due to problems with the Ministry of Justice to be rerun at the time of the program back in 2005 in the first rerun.

Trivia

 * One of the soap opera's writers, Flávia Lins e Silva, years later, created the series Detetives do Prédio Azul for Gloob in 2012. The series is still on air today.
 * It was Marieta Severo's last telenovela at the time, since the telenovela ended, the only production she acted on television until 2014 was the 2001 version of A Grande Família. She only returned to soap operas in 2015, with the first season of Verdades Secretas as Fanny Richard, which oddly enough also had Reynaldo Gianecchini in the first season as Anthony.
