Came because of the trailer, staying for the picturesque locales. The island setting is *chefs kiss*

The story is told from the teenager's POV, alternating between each episode. First episode is a supersized hour-long episode but it becomes 20-something minutes long after that. First episode did felt long but the next few episodes are a breeze.

Everything from the writing, acting etc is decent. Even the adult roles are well cast, even though they appear for only 2 minutes max per episode (with the exception of the janitor).

The story is predictable since it's for younger teens but they did throw something random every now and then to give a jolt when it needs it.

The show's apparent weakness is the lack of Pietro, since he's the most prominent in the trailer. He opens the first episode but by mid-season he's almost a background wallpaper. And this is very clear at the start of the penultimate episode. The side characters do get enough screen time but Pietro, supposedly the other main character beside Livia, didn't. Which is a shame since he reminds me of a young Tom Cruise.

Much much better than other teen shows, for example: Netflix's own Rebelde which I got recommended as soon as I finished this show. And if you want to watch bad teen acting the recent Resident Evil have plenty of that. And Pretty Little Liars reboot just being released, plenty of bad choices to be made.....H8Rs.*looks around*

Oh and this show got haters because it's PC (and wholesome).

I Really Really enjoyed..... This kind of shows we are expecting to watch it's a feel good series... All of them acted well you wanted to watch with you family and friends definitely this would be recommended for you......

People watching have to remember it's a kids show aimed at this age group! I'd say for a kids tv show it's better than most I've been subjected to, even I've enjoyed it! Yes it's dubbed and i'd have preferred it in Italian but most kids would struggle to read subtitles quickly enough when they'd want to enjoy the action so this is the best option, you have to make allowances for that. I have 3 pre teen kids in my house and they've all been glued to the screen they are loving it (have both boys and a girl) so I'd say it's a hit especially since the boys rarely watch any tv dramas and daughter watches loads, it's nice they can all enjoy it. Being set on an Italian island they love too as it's shows a different part of the world even though they can identify with the characters as a lot of the topics touched on they have an awareness of too. Hope there's another series!

Why are so many weird things normalised? What...

I felt really uncomfortable during episodes 1-4 from the start to the end. The acting is baaad and the plot is full of clichés, boring boring boring.

So basically I watched that show when I was 9-10-11 years old, and I really loved it. Back then I would have gave it a 8 or maybe even a 9 out of 10. I think it's a great show for that age, because you don't realise that everything isn't like that in real life. If you're like 9-10-11 years old go watch that show I think you'll love it, after that, well, it's a big complicated. I'm giving this 8/10 to the ten years old me who loved it, but if I would rewatch that show now, I would probably give like a 5-6 because, let's be honest, the actors aren't so great. But the main problem is that they are 16 years old playing 12 years olds. When I was ten, honestly I didn't even notice it cause I didn't really know how exactly you look when you're 12-13 but now I'm 13 and when he says I'm 12 almost 13 I totally see that can't possibly be true. So they should have hired younger actors if they wanted the show to be enjoyable at 11-12-13 or even older and maybe more talented actors too. But when you're ten this show is awesome and you just love it so it's worth watching at that age it's pretty good.
