El paraíso de las señoras

One day I stumbled upon this show having no idea really what it was about . All I knew was that it was an Italian show. After watching about three episodes though, it soon became a favorite of mine.

The Show:

Who: Employees of "The Ladies Paradise," and their families and friends, and many other characters throughout the seasons.

What: Stories of people who have things in common and not so much. In most instances, each character is possibly affected in one way or another. Stories of themes around: love, family, drama, compassion and the show is humorous at times too.

When: Mid 1950s, IPDS is a period drama- the costumes are stellar.

Where: Milan, Italy

I'm skipping why.

*Note: The music is one of the best parts of the show in my opinion.

I give the show two thumbs up as well. 👍🏼👍🏼

The show is probably best for those 13 and older.

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.

Bravo a good movie series. Reminds me of what movies should be like great acting!🤗🤗🤗nice memories of Italy.can't wait to find season three.please offer other series soon. I'm.

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.

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.
