Is Contra Corrente good for learning European Portuguese?

It is real, unslowed European Portuguese made for native speakers, which makes it hard and makes it work. It suits learners past the basics who can read simple European Portuguese but lose the thread when someone talks at full speed. If that is you, start with one episode and replay sentences rather than trying to follow the whole thing.
