Melodrama like I've never seen

This started out very intriguing. Eventually it became apparent that some characters were going to reap what they sowed so i was looking forward to that. Unfortunately the most obnoxious character in the show doesn't seem to have had to answer to anyone. I can only assume that this actor is a star and in Italy the bigger stars won't play a character that doesn't come out on top? (I'm talking about the character of Colin) I really wanted him to get what he deserved, instead they almost glamorized his behavior. I've never seen such over the top melodrama by almost all the actors, it was almost laughable. The ending was so disappointing, there were so many unanswered questions. If you like your shows to be at least somewhat wrapped up then this is not the show for you.

Would rather play scrabble with all the vowels missing!

Started watching this, and watched it all due to being above 8 rating, now can not comprehend how this is was achieved. Acting more wooden than a cricket bat. Have seen kids in primary school nativity with more authenticity. Where Romanzo Criminale has cinematic poeticism, this has photographic dyslexia. Where Gamorrah has gritty, hard hitting underworld truths, this has a worm wriggling in the mud. Roberto D'Anatona really should be the the dental assistant he plays, and fully epitomises why no one should ever create, write, direct, and act in the same production. Do not waste your time, you have been warned.

A surprise!

It's a low budget Italian series, but it's awesome. The plot is amazing and almost all the lead actors are really good. The cinematography is sometimes wonderful and sometimes a bit 'less, but never boring or annoying. The music it's great! I have loved the pathos of this series and his emotional growth. The last two episodes were wonderful. Watch it and love it!

Beautiful plot, mediocre and rude acting

All the actors are decidedly theatrical. Their characteristics are brought to excesses. In particular, the behavior of the policemen is hysterical, vulgar, omophobic and diseducative.
