At Stream Tracker, we keep track of where to watch shows like The Mechanism (O Mecanismo), a tense Brazilian political thriller that pulls back the curtain on the machinery of corruption behind a sprawling oil-and-construction scandal. Loosely inspired by Operation Car Wash, the series follows investigators as they try to untangle graft, cover-ups and the political gears that make them possible. The Mechanism is a Netflix original, so you'll find it on Netflix rather than on Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+. In this article, the team checks current availability, regional differences and what to expect from the show's seasons.
