Prisma

I didn't really know what to expect from this one, I was just pretty hyped since I already fell in love with Ludovico Bessegato's previous work, SKAM Italia. After watching this one too, I can just say that he nailed it again: the way he and Urciolo (who also co-wrote season 5 of SKAMIt with Bessegato) approach the teen drama genre and its various themes feels delicate, real, poetic and captivating. This was such a blast from the beginning to the end, direction, writing and acting were top notch (I still can't believe this is Mattia Carrano's first experience in acting, his work on not one but TWO characters really was immense) and the song choices were so interesting. I can't say if I liked this better than SkamIt, I can just repeat that Bessegato absolutely nailed it again and that to me, this is one of the most interesting coming of age shows that I've ever seen. Don't miss it.

One of the best contemporary italian shows in my opinion. It talks about profound themes: feeling lost as teenagers, discovering sexuality and queerness, revenge porn, internalised homophobia, and more... Everything is told with such delicacy and without ever coming across as banal. Not to mention the phenomenal work of Mattia Carrani who plays both the two main characters (i hadn't realise until the end titles) but also the rest of the cast. Chef kiss also to the soundtrack curated by the (unfortunately) unknown composer Ginevra Nervi which created a fil rouge throughout the various episodes of both first and second seasons.

I really watch shows that catch my attention and this one surely did I watch shows and immediately don't click with them or the storyline is whack but this one is absolutely awesome and I feel like I need more and hopefully they do make more but I love that It's not trying too hard to make me love it like It's just perfect. When I usually watch shows like this at least me not very interested in more but this one absolutely made me want to watch more I think it's a masterpiece and I love the characters and how each one has great storylines and are very good at making you fall in love with them. As a European I think this is one of the best European shows I totally recommend this to Anyone trying to enjoy a good show.

I love love love this show. If I had to describe it I would probably say: similar to an Italian version of Sex Education, but drama, not comedy, more serious, with even a hint of Euphoria maybe?

Anyways, it is a great coming of age series centered around identity themes, LGBTQIA+ and otherwise. It approaches issues in a sensitive and delicate manner, without being preachy or feeling forced. What I love is how natural it all feels - the acting, the story lines, the setting. Mattia Carrano is an obvious stand out, portraying two characters at once and doing so so compassionately, it makes you forget that you are actually just watching one person. Lorenzo Zurzolo and Chiara Bordi are also absolutely amazing, I have become a fan of theirs. But then again, the entire cast of young actors is a pleasure to watch and makes it easy to be drawn in and root for their characters.

Please please please let us have a third - or maybe even fourth or fifth or sixth - season of this compelling show.

Prisma is an italian tv series directed and written by Ludovico Bessegato and it follows the life of two teenegers who are twins and their friends.

This italian production is so amazing because one of the twins has depression and the other one is exploring his gender and his sexual orientation.

The thing that I loved the most of the series is that all the topics that it has, are treated with respect and don't seem fake, the realistic aspect of it is amazingly done.

It is so important to have this kind of representation on tv, and I will never be tired of saying that this kind of series can save lives. LGBTQ+ and mental issues topics, are so important and real. We have to talk about them.

Thank you so much to the creator and the amazing actors, looking fowars to watch the next season.
