Luna Nera

Short season with something happening each episode, this is the first out of a series of attempts on several Italian originals on Netflix and stands out. Great cinematography, just as impactful in English and Italian and that climatic season finale was a great pay off.

I sincerely was positively surprised by this show, all due to the conclusion. The only thing that bothered me was the choice of the soundtrack, except for the opening and closing music, many of the other melodies did not harmonize with the scenes and destabilized the moment. An interesting experience and decent plots.

Do any of the writers actually know how to tell a story and keep it consistent? This had such promise, but it is all over the place and back and forth and back again. Whaaaat? I can't even figure out what to point out. Beautiful costumes, great settings... but it feels like there was no real consistencies, nothing made sense. Perhaps they were trying to work on surprising people, which, it was surpising at times, but so hodge podge it made it ridiculous.

No idea what problems some reviewers have with consistency, acting and plot. This was amazing. Strong characters, emotional, developing story, witchcraft, feminism and medieval ideas all well established throughout.

I felt the pain and anguish of the lead character and had a powerful response to the injustices of the past.

Amazing.

The show is a crescendo. The first episodes may not fully convince, but above all the last two are well made and have excellent cliffhangers. I'm sure that non-Italian-speaking viewers will appreciate it much more.
