It's a well-manufactured production, with all the current ingredients needed for a series for the small screen. If we add to that the fact that it's the dramatization of real events fundamental to the history of Italy, we can say that the series achieves its goal of combining entertainment and history. Of course, it's not a documentary, and the narrative continuity, with the modulation of the different waves between tension and calm, between suspense and predictable scenes, responds well to the cinematic needs of this type of production. The photography is correct and of quite a high standard, higher than what TV productions usually offer. The lighting is also appropriate for its genre and the soundtrack stands out for its sound creation of the characters, meriting praise for enhancing both the key moments and adding dynamism to the more monotonous ones. The actors are quite believable in their roles, generally performing at a level above the norm for this type of production. The setting, locations, and props are quite coherent, and few things stand out as out of place, although I must say they are noticeable only to the most expert eyes.
