Il paradiso delle signore

I recently watched this wonderful series. I don't speak or understand Italian, but I surely wish I could. Easy to follow reading the subtitles. The performances are excellent. I so wish they could do more seasons. I have even written done the name of some of their foods hoping to enjoy some Italian dishes. Wish I could know how everything works out for the characters in love and the future of Paradise! Thanks to all involved from the producers, technical staff, acting staff to those who fed and cleaned up after everyone. As a young woman I had always wanted to go to Italy. Paradise helped me go.

A well done piece that is just plain fun to watch. While the plot may get a bit heavy handed the balance with the performances and the photography is enjoyable.

I watched some of the BBC's 'The Paradise' and didn't really care for it. So I'm not sure why I decided to give the Italian version on Acorn TV a try but I'm glad I did. I loved the characters, the clothes, the cars, the city and the drama of 'The Ladies Paradise'.

Note - my rating is based on the first 2 seasons.

Unlike the other review, which seems to have been written by a cranky nitpicker who sees joy in nothing, this charming and sweet Italian series makes for relaxing and entertaining viewing. Shot in Milan, Rome and the countryside, it's a fun peek at the Italian styles and mores of the 1950s with a terrific cast. It's fascinating to see how a department store is run from the inside, and the kind of decisions and sacrifices that need to be made to make it successful.

I am praying there is a season 4.

Strolling along on a cold night... I found a soap opera in Italian with English subtitles.

Worth the read since I speak some Spanish and it is a close language.

I am an American/Texan and loved my young life visiting Italy.

I adore the old school vibe which shows the writers creativity. The artistic and creative ways to keep the store open holds my attention.

The hopes of love and help that a few need in the show are clear characters.

I love the torment involving two handsome leading men and Theresa.

Keeping my attention was the insiders vision of business and ex's and new attractions... find a way to bring it all back into play folks!

Americans are really watching. Tired of cop shows here!
