I started out thinking that they were like typical daily shows made just to tell boring stories, with poor acting and direction, but I was wrong. This show actually has a very unique style, it's never too serious, it's never too dramatic, but it's fun. I love the couples, I love the singing scenes and every soundtrack; I also liked the murder plot, but I expected the killer to be a bigger character. It's not a masterpiece, and the actors are certainly not Oscar-worthy, but they have their highlights and I'm very curious to see if they improve in a second season. Never judge a book by its cover, I guess.

So fun and fresh

As an italian, it feels so nice to finally see a tv show were we do not depict ourselves as criminals or stereotypes. This show is far from being perfect, but has its charme; characters are funny, music it's great and i really felt some of the drama. I think this works great as a comfort show, very suitable to watch more than once; Pompei works incredibly good as a setting, so glad we finally see other italian cities. My favorite character are Alessandro and Flavio, remind me of myself and my brother, this show depicts very well the complexity of a family. Dialogues need to be improven, and so the acting, but i think this deserve another season!
This might be a cult in the future

I can't remember the last time i laughed so hard for a tv show. I really believe i found a little gem that will shine way more one day; i like the concept, i like the romance and the plot twists. Maybe some character is not my cup of tea, but most of them are loveable and hilarious. Some part of the story is really brave, the romance between Marta and Rosario, Daniele cheating on Sofia, Alessandro's memory loss...
Maybe the last two episodes are a bit slow, but so many thinghs happens that the outcome is that they are the most interesting. The biggest flow of this show is probably that now i'm craving more!
A bit slow at first, but overall great

Very entertaining show, liked the concept of having three couples of main character plus the side thriller plot. First and second episode are not a strong start, but they are still enjoyable, later the pace intensifies and you want to binge the second half of the series. I love the way characters interacts with each other, they look very real; some dialogue may be a little dull, but others really engage you. I think the last to episodes are the best, a lots of twists, no down time or useless scenes. The ending is bittersweet and i think it's perfect if they make a sequel. I never thought Pompei was such a charming city!
