Our Review
The Clone (2001) is a drama and romance series from TV Globo. It has built a run of 221 episodes at roughly 45 minutes each. It premiered on October 1, 2001. Viewers rate it 8.1 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 1 season.
What The Clone Is About
A young man, who has been secretly cloned by his godfather scientist, falls in love for a Moroccan girl from a rigorous family.
What to Expect When You Watch
Episodes run about 45 minutes, which keeps the pace tight, the full run covers 221 episodes, spread across 1 season and it leans into its drama/romance roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Murilo Benício, Giovanna Antonelli and Vera Fischer to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Murilo Benício, Giovanna Antonelli, Vera Fischer and Reginaldo Faria lead the cast.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of drama, romance and science-fiction have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside TV Globo’s other originals, a 8.1/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2001 and carried by TV Globo with the series still ended, it lands hardest with drama and romance viewers.

On the whole The Clone is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Murilo Benício and Giovanna Antonelli doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its drama/romance roots, It has held up since 2001 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
The Clone is a safe bet for anyone already inside the drama and romance lane, at 221 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 8.1/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 8.1/10. Watch it if you want drama/romance you can settle into.
