The Sea Beyond (2020– )

Very addictive

[9/10 · 8 March 2023]

In the series we often speak in Neapolitan dialect and many actors are unknown.

This thing in the first few episodes could lead us to give lower ratings than necessary.

But once the first impact is made, the plot grabs you and you realize that these young "non-professional" actors are really good. Certainly many of them play parts that are congenial to them and perhaps they would not be able to do as well in other roles but this does not detract from the wonderful acting of this work.

As you go along you can't help but continue with the next episode and now I'm waiting for the new season to come out.

Even in Italy we know how to do beautiful things, even with not all professional actors and even when the budget is not millionaires.

Well done, really good everyone.

The Consultant (2023)

I couldn't place this series in any genre

[2/10 · 8 March 2023]

I started seeing it because it was reported via email by Amazon; and generally the things reported are at least acceptable. I watched the entirety of the first two episodes trying to figure out what I was seeing. I couldn't place this series in any genre.

After the second episode, the more I went on, the more I wondered why such nonsense is produced today without a logical sense.

At episode 5 I am convinced that "the consultant" is actually the devil who made an agreement with the old owner of the company that produces games and that the final episodes will explain everything to us in the midst of many surprises.

But in the end it won't be like this, or at least nobody explains anything to us and to me it's all meaningless.
