Adoration

Poor script and acting. A bunch of kids cursing constantly and shouting, so annoying. No respect for parents as they were school mates. There is no content - just a bad portrait of Italy, whilst not all the teenagers are like these.

Not sure why Netflix should have this, it is really a soap opera. After 20 minutes watching you start feeling embarrassed yourself. Should this story teach or should it be something to learn something from?

Maybe some will appreciate this but no comparison with other titles or plots - certain sex scenes are just not necessary, probably added to create some appeal but less is better, more than often.

I would not stay in friendships/relationships like that. They are so self-centered and really badly acting to each other. (Adults, kids). Like there is no empathy or even kindness. Most of them do not feel remorse. Some of them started to feel it only AFTER there were big consequences ahead.

The other characters frequently refer to something that some did in the past. But WE DO NOT KNOW what it was, and they NEVER tell us. So you do not understand what is going on, in the beginning, quite a lot. Because of that, I skipped a lot of minutes/some parts of scenes because it was too long and not going anywhere with the story.

All the episodes have a weird and uncomfortable vibe. And I do not mean on purpose (as Tom Burton is doing). I mean an unsettling vibe.

And then the nudity comes. Of course, only for the young girls, whose characters are not even 18. (16 be precise). And someone thought this was ok.

I mean... why?

The series features many young faces and a lot of interest, especially at the beginning, but the development is predictable. The initial interest slowly decreases instead of increasing as the episodes progress. Many characters are left completely incomplete and others pass by indifferently for the viewer. A good point is the filming locations and the young actors who bring a fresh air to the story, but again the dialogues are somewhat ordinary and in many places the scenes create an awkward impression. Even the love scenes have a uniformity that really makes you wonder why they happen. Lack of imagination or inability of the script to propose something a little more original?

One element that really impressed me is the similarity in appearance of two female and two male characters.

Don't understand what all the negative comments are about. Series was well done. Based/inspired from a book so there's only so much alterations you can make to it. Enjoy it for what it is. Don't look too deep for an award winning experience.

Characters are good, it's emotional, portrays realistic life events, not a picture prefect life. There is a lot to unpack in each character. How they navigate with teenage drama and dealing with modern problems with old school upbringing.

If people couldn't connect to the series, I wonder if they watched in Italian or with dubbing. It's always worse when not in the original language.

This isn't a seris: it's a chaotic mess stitched together by someone who clearly hates storytelling.

The editing is nauseating, the direction nonexistent, and the cast feels like they were picked up from a high school drama class mid-rehearsal.

Every scene is a new low, and the whole story shows how detached from reality most Italian screenwriters are nowadays.
