Die ahnungslosen Engel

If you're thinking about if this show worths your time: it does. The soundtrack is perfect, the photography is marvelous.

The story is so well made, that even the way the season ended i wouldn't be crying or mad if they choose not to do another season.

Every story were well explored, they did a really great job by giving every character a real depth, it felt like i was watching a real story. Its envolving, it treats how humas co-op with fidelity, love, self-love, hate... It has every element to say this is true art

I know, i know, i will not give you any spoilers, i will just end this review by saying that this show deserves more recognition.

One of the most addictive series Of a dramatic content I have ever watched! The storyline is quite realistic and develops nicely and in a heartfelt way that makes it more attractive with every episode. Excellent acting, wonderful characters, one could actually meet in real life, interacting seriously with each other as real people and not as caricatures of the gay crowd. Lovable - all of them. One feels for them without even realizing it. Directing, camera work and photography are also a big plus. Inspired and inspiring work... A little gem of Italian TV - a big one, actually!

"The ignorant angels" offers wonderful as well as unreal sets, a sloppy and lazy script that even good actors can do nothing to save, and a total lack of cinematographic composition. In a nutshell, it reminds us how poor and old the standard of too many Italian television productions is. It is surprising that Disney instead of RAI distributed a program of such a low level.

This Italian TV series is by Ferzan Özpetek and Gianni Romoli and inspired by the 2001 film of the same name directed by the same Turkish director. I have been a fan of every film he has been associated with and this 8 part series is superb in every sense of the word.

The Ignorant Angels are the ones we meet and don't recognize, but who change our life. They are not from fairy tales, because they tell lies and far from perfect. They can be ignorant, outspoken, even obnoxious at times but they don't lie about their feelings. The Ignorant Angels are all those who live in the open, who live their feelings, and are not afraid to manifest them. They are the people who speak outright, who live their own contradictions and who ignore the strategies. Often they pass for ignorant, because they seem boorish, and intrusive for their lack of good manners. But they are also very often fairies, because they are capable of performing the miracle of overwhelming us. Forcing us to make a change in our life. I do hope there is a season two as I miss them already.

I have followed and loved Ozpetek's work for many years now (starting with His Secret Life / La Fate Ignoranti 2001) and this is the perfect expansion to his original film . . . Wonderful to see what was probably extended scenes and additional characters (and their relationships) explored and showcased; expanding the universe originally created by Ozpetek in His Secret Life . . . Making bolder and bigger choices - perfectly cast, directed and acted . . . Yet, the magic, in all of his storytelling and films, thrives from the music!! The Ignorant Fairies has one of the most beautiful scores, chalk full of original songs and music and now the TV Series, follows with perfect harmony with it's use of music - incredible score and soundtrack! It's been 20 years and to see all these incredible characters thrive and celebrate, in pain and confused, hurt, vulnerable and sharing joy and laughs - exuding love and forgiveness, is exactly what I need and I'm totally here for it!!
