DI4RIES

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!

Really really bad acting, (the adults were even worse than the kids), shallow and unrealistic plots and dialogues. Cringe. The show is trying to be like "compagni di scuola" but it's nowhere near it!!

Despite watching DI4RIES in a language that I don't know, I sincerely relished this show with full of comedic twists, plot twists and more! Perhaps, this is one of the best Non-English language show I have ever watched. This show is rated for 13+ which is most appropriate maturity rating. Their culture in school and life seems to be fascinating. This show is also about how to deal with things and problems at school, trying to fix something that is circumstantial for them and school. This show is kind of inspiring to viewers of DI4RIES, this show represents what problems we had to deal with it.

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).

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.
