This World Can't Tear Me Down

After binge watching season 1, I just couldn't help to watch the new one. Honestly, the series is still a great mixture of comedy, social commentary, that goes deep into the complexity of humanity and at the same time can make you think on some of the actions we do and people we take for granted. This second season is more oriented on media manipulation and discrimination. Honestly, I didn't find it as good as season 1, but to be fair, season 1 put the bar really high. Plus, the ending is kind of inconclusive (they could have shown what happened to... let's say, the center of the plot for this season) Still wort watching and hopefully more seasons will come.

The first serie was very cool and it set high expectations but ZeroCalcare has been able to exceed them. There is definitely a political aspect however, beyond that, there is much more. The stories of Zero and his friends are an excellent picture of the society and its contradictions which generate hate and social tensions. It is not an easy topic but he never slips into the essay, the stereotypes, the boredom, etc. This is remarkable. On top you have a lot of funny moments which burst laugh few seconds before an emotional moment. All together supported by an amazing soundtrack composed by original tunes, classic rock/pop songs and hidden gems.

I don't want to spoil too much, but saying absolutely nothing about the plot makes it hard to explain why this series hit so hard. So, please mind: I'm only speaking about the setting and not the details of the plot.

A shelter for refugees is established in downtown Rome. And the series portrays a group of friends that split because they either want the shelter stay or be gone.

What the series does brilliantly is portraying the people who want the shelter to be gone. They are not simply evil monsters who hate people from oher countries, but have deep socio-psychological reasons for their stance. And likewise,people who defend the shelter aren't portrayed as do-goody angels, but people who have some agenda in it, making the whole thing morally grey.

It's not as depressing as Tear Along The Dotted Line, but is equally deep and sadly humorous. This is adult animation at its best.

Another amazing part, first series Tear Along the Dotted Line was brilliant, sad and so enjoyable that I wished it had more episodes now we are treated with well I wouldn't call it a sequel but rather a continuation with This World Can't Tear Me Down, again 6 episodes in total like a longer movie in short and it's amazing. The story, the characters their views on life and things they are going through with choices they make, with adorable armadillo as conscience perfect. Honestly first season left me speechless it was like gut punch, this one is not that much hard but is still worth the watch, honestly Zerocalcare did it again, he made an amazing show. This show with its first part and my favorite anime show Castlevania is the sole reason why it's worth it to pay for Netflix. If you watched first part watch this, if you haven't watched the first part watch that and then watch this. I promise it will be worth it.

Can not tell you how good it is.... His previous netflix series was also perfect, at made it again. The characters are so reals you can feel it through the screen. All the visiual and the audio experience is beautiful. Yes its animation, but it tells story so much better than any movie or series nowdays.

Zerocalcare has something that you can not learn, it came from him, so naturally, you just sitt and watch, and most of the moments like it already happened with me before... I guess my english is far not good enough to let everyone know, that you must see this piecee of art, so much better than those usual streaming products, it hs got soul!!
