Bang Bang is a Brazilian telenovela produced and broadcast by TV Globo. It premiered on 3 October 2005, replacing A Lua Me Disse, and ended on 22 April 2006, replaced by Cobras & Lagartos. The telenovela is created by Mário Prata, who wrote the first thirty-four episodes before leaving due to health problems, and was replaced by Carlos Lombardi.[1][2][3] The plot was considered a failure by the press due to the low quality of the story and poor reception.[4][5]
