Betrügerische Liebe

The story was interesting but the acting/dialogue needed much improvement. The main male character was a hunk!! He and the rest of the awesome scenery made the view worthwhile otherwise I probably wouldn't have persevered through the entire series.

There were a few "mysteries" in the story although they could have been developed a little further and most of them were eventually resolved.

Of course there had to be the token LBGQ+ sub story thrown in there which seems to almost a "requirement" these days. I guess it added a little to the story but I don't believe that it added much of any to the plot.

I did enjoy the way the story ended.

"Deceitful Love" was exactly what I needed-a well-timed guilty pleasure that let me escape from reality for a while. The story centers on Gabriella, a sophisticated hotel owner, who finds herself unexpectedly falling for Elia, a young and mysterious stranger. The age difference added a layer of complexity and tension to their romance, which I found fun to watch.

Giacomo Gianniotti, who plays Elia, absolutely captivated me. He is not just beautiful, but has this magnetic presence that pulls you into every scene. His chemistry with Monica Guerritore (Gabriella) was electric, and their love story, with all its ups and downs, felt intense, passionate, and sometimes a little dangerous.

Sure, some parts of the show felt over-the-top, but that's what made it such a fun ride. "Deceitful Love" doesn't aim to be perfect-it's here to entertain, and it does so in spades. The beautiful Amalfi Coast setting, the tangled relationships, and the unpredictable twists kept me hooked from start to finish.

If you're looking for a dramatic, sexy escape that doesn't take itself too seriously, "Deceitful Love" is definitely worth a watch.

This is definitely a very soap opera-ish mini series but that's what makes it such a fun ride. It's about an older wealthy woman who is the owner of a luxurious hotel and happens to fall quickly in love with a man half her age. His intentions are incredibly questionable. Her grown children, particularly her eldest son, get involved and try to stop the relationship. Throughout the show, so many hidden family secrets are revealed. There are twists and turns everywhere, it is at times so over the top I couldn't help but laugh. Just when I thought I knew where things were going, another surprise would pop up. I binge watched this on a lazy Sunday and was pleasantly entertained!

Such a low quality show and waste of time... The weakest script, bad acting , terrible directing, just packed with sex scenes and I don't understand why it was all over French music in the background, isn't it an Italian show ? It was too fast that you cannot make sense of the story, in one episode the guy came, they instantly fell in love, they broke up they made up... all in one episode ....Nope

If you can look past the rather unrealistic premise that a 60-yo successful and intelligent woman would fall, within hardly a day, for a totally unknown thirty-something stud, then you'll sure to have a very good time with this romantic and (soft-) erotic thriller. It's an involving story with some nice twists and turns, and dark secrets that gradually get revealed.

The setting at the beautiful Amalfi coast of Italy is breathtaking, and the atmosphere is sensuous, thanks to the bright light of summer, the song-like flow of the Italian language, and some very titillating love-scenes. Giacomo Gianniotti (Dr. DeLuca in Grey's Anatomy!) is spot-on as the wildly attractive, mysterious and seductive Elia; and Monica Guerritore convincingly plays elderly, lovestruck Gabriella, while all the time maintaining her authoritative dignity. She by the way deserves high praise for her courage to play this sensuous role without any prudish restraint.

For some reasons the writers threw in several side-storylines, that each initially seemed to be important, but ultimately didn't add anything to the main story. Like the gay affair of the oldest son, that simply dead-ended in the last episode; or the vague personal problems of the daughter, that never got any explanation. Even Gabriella's own hidden past seemed, when at last revealed, hardly relevant for the course of the main story. And I also had some trouble with accepting the end, where deceitful, even criminal behavior seemed to be swept under the rug of love.

But for the rest: an involving and very entertaining mini series.
