Violeta como el mar

Can Yaman stealing the show in first 2 episodes. The plot is flowing really well And the neurological issue of Viola and issues surrounding it care getting slowly introduced. Francesco and Demir a really funny and both actors very very well complement each other in comedic timing. Can Yaman's acting is on point and in character all the time and taking in account this is his second language it is extraordinary to say is extraordinary. Chemistry between Viola and Demir is superb and it is clear that it will be hot going forward. So well done all who wrote and actors for excellent performance, so well done.

Second season review - Although I give the second season a ten, there is no chemistry, spark or magic between Can Yaman and Francesca Chillemi. They look absolutely beautiful together but adding scenes where they kiss isn't helping. The series is very successful in Italy and 20 other countries. I watch it for Can Yaman, for the scenery of Palermo and for other cast members. It is also well directed and edited. A third season is confirmed. I do not like that the character of Viola is sarcastic and always one ups the character of Francesco. Or tries to. It borders on emasculating his character something that really turns me off in other series. The two characters or maybe the actors themselves seem to be holding back on electrifying their relationship. Can by himself is mesmerizing on screen. That will do.

Police dramas are everywhere, so it's hard to come up with something new. VCIM is not an Earth shattering piece of television, but it is very entertaining. Time flies fast, as you watch Viola trying to find her footing in the new city, with a boss who has no faith in her abilities, chauvinistic colleagues and no friends. Francesca Chillemi created a very sympathetic character you can't stop rooting for. Can Yaman plays a police inspector, cynical, flirtatious and very competent in his job. When his Francesco Demir meets Viola sparks begin to fly. I would be tempted to say that it's a typical sunshine/grumpy trope, but Demir throws jokes around like old ladies throw bread for the ducks in the park. So I guess it's more of a sunshine/cynical joker kind of situation. Especially because the inspector doesn't hide the fact that he wants to see Viola in his bed and gets frustrated when his typical tricks don't work. (Way to go, Viola!) Those two already have a rapport that is a source of laughs. The rest of the cast blends very well with the protagonists, the overall chemistry between the characters is coherent and on a high level. Cinematography is great, with the views of the beautiful Palermo looking like a postcard - it really makes you wanna go there.

Overall it's a fun, breezy, kind of summery show with a high rewatchability factor. Give it a go.

These first two episodes introduced us to some fun and interesting characters as played by the leads, Can Yaman and Francesca Chillemi. Their chemistry from the very get go is palpable, believable, and understandable between two such beautiful people. The cast is a interesting group of passionate people, including lots of angry women. Is that an Italian thing? Not sure as I'm new to this cultural genre. But the setting is beautiful, and the subtle comedy between the suave Inspector Demir and the sometimes awkward, but intrigued Viola is light enough to take the dark edge off the murders and such. I feel this series is going to go well. It's very promising indeed. Only wish it was available to an international audience. Watching from the USA.

First time for Can Yaman acting in Italian on Italian tv. This is a great stepping stone to what's to come. I don't speak a word of Italian and Can Yaman's characterization of Francesco Demir kept me intrigued and I understood his actions perfectly. I particularly loved his sarcasm. Again, I don't speak Italian but understood perfectly well his interpretation of his character. It will be interesting to discover his background story in the next episodes. Viola characterized by Francesca Chillemi, a journalist with a special condition that she utilizes to help others. Viola is funny, smart and beautiful!
