Dancing Cunha’s twinkling feet sets imperfect Brazil rolling

Dancing Cunha’s twinkling feet sets imperfect Brazil rolling

6 min readPhiladelphiaUpdated: Jun 20, 2026 08:28 AM IST Matheus Cunha speaks six languages, a reflection more of his scattered career in Europe than his linguistic afflictions. He speaks Portuguese, Spanish, French, English, German and Italian. He talks the language of dance, sometimes he rides an imaginary wave like a surfer; sometimes he swims on the ground. He trades the language of goals, too. Reinstated to the starting eleven after the Igor Thiago faux pas, his brace allayed fears of a campaign unravelling and became a somewhat unlikely hero. He loves the spectacular—his album of goals in the Premier League has long-ranger, grass-trimming beauties, chipped devils and late-bending dervishes. He is not exactly a throwback to the Brazilian forwards with a magic wand for legs, the league is exalted, he could be frustratingly profligate, he is a wind-up merchant, but he certainly produces joyfulness that is the soul of Brazilian football. Goals, dance, joy—the perfect Brazilian symphony. Like the second goal—a brutish left-footed finish, like the clank of a machete. Even before Vinicius Junior had …

Review: Twinkling Watermelon – The Fangirl Verdict

THE SHORT VERDICT: As warm and feel-good as it is poignant and heart-tugging, Twinkling Watermelon is a show where its sum is definitely greater than its parts. We’ve got lovable characters, endearing relationships, relatable angst, and vicarious joy, all packaged into one little drama world, and we even get a blithely breezy soundtrack, to score it all. Show’s greatest strength, is how it consistently serves up all of the warm, fuzzy feels, while expertly getting us to care about these characters. An underrated gem. THE LONG VERDICT: I really think of this show as the little drama that could. In a drama landscape where so many bigger budgeted, glossier shows with much more high profile casts and marketing, are turning out to be on the underwhelming side of things, this show, with its obviously more modest budget and greener cast, managed to do what so many other shows failed to do. It grabbed my heart and didn’t let go, through its entire 16-episode run. I came away from each episode in a cloud of warm, …
