Luna Park

I watched all six episodes in one sitting. The story moved along at a pace that sparked my interest. I was so disappointed that it stopped where it did in episode ode six. I am so looking forward to the next episodes. I will be disappointed if Netflix does not film them and of course will try to find the series somewhere else.

I was surprised by how much I like this show, I've thought of it many times since watching it several months ago. I integrates many elements in a sort of historic fantasy setting. There is love, joy, beautiful colorful sets, historic elements, friendship, family, secrets, magic. I really like the way it unfolds. Lots of layers, fun to watch, some under shadows but not overwhelmingly dark.

I recommend it and can't wait for season 2. I really hope Netflix renews the series for at least one more season, 2 more seasons would be great.

Meanwhile I'll have to settle for watching the series again, which will be fun too.

I see many people comment that they watched the show in dubbed English. On Netflix, you can hear the original voices and just add subtitles. Luna park is entertaining, but it lacks humour. But the acting is convincing and the plot as well. The worst that Netflix can do is to not officially renew the show. There is to much uncertainty after watching season 1 and I do not like to decide myself how it ends. So I will be wating for season 2.

I was trying to find a place to comment on this and IMDB seemed the right place. The atmospheric tracks they chose for this series are just fine. However, whoever they hired and made the pop music choices for the soundtrack should've been fired. It's incredibly jarring to be experiencing a foreign piece set in a specific time period (1960s) to be shocked into hearing overbearing music from the 2010s. The 21st century pop is wildly out of place and a stain on the filmmaking - which I must compliment as having very visually pleasing color palette, nice camera work, excellent acting, and perfect set design. But someone has to grab this series back and re-edit the soundtrack choices. Even if 1960s American pop took its place that would at least be acceptable, but I can think of plenty of other Italian hits from the same era that would've worked, too.

I am looking forward to the second season. I enjoyed season one, which I watched in a day.
