Considering that the vast majority of Netflix production is here to entertain people with low quality programs that are super well made, it feels really good for once not being taken for an idiot.

Great packaging around low quality plots isn't doing people a favor. Here we have something that is at the same time very well made with substance.

This serie is intelligent, sober and insightful. Acting is excellent. And spot on key issues of our times.

And yes, ethic and moral still mean something to many. And no, not everybody is dominated y narcissist flaws and thirst for power.

It's a powerful illustration of what it is to do politics, care for the greater good and being human, meaning making mistakes and taking responsibility for it.

The locations of the series are magnificent and that alone is a pleasure. Then, there is a superposition of trajectories and human transformations that is really interesting. There are weaknesses in the script at times, some tempo flaws but overall I let myself be carried away. First she, Gabriella, who built herself as best she could around a very strong trauma that is slowly revealed, through this love story. We see her evolve, between panic and confidence, and the actress makes it very well. Then there is of course the fact of seeing a woman's body of her age, their passion, it's rare and it's really well filmed, we just feel happy for them. Elia is magnetic, his transformation is also interesting. Then the children, all the ways in which this improbable love story impacts them, it's interesting and well rendered overall. It's refreshing that there are no murders, no creepy stuff, just people who are very afraid and who manage to find a balance, a form of reconciliation. After all, that's what living together is all about, right?
