Luna Nera

I am not sure how I feel about this series yet. So far I'm not a fan. For several reasons: 1. Italian actors that seem trained in theater and not film acting is a shame. There are insanely talented actors in Italy to have chosen this particular groups actors. 2. Music that was composed for this is very restricted in vision and therefore doesn't make any sense when watching. The emotions it tries to generate are not matched with what is happening at all. Instead of generating suspense or hope or mystery it's sooo melodic and peppy it takes away from the point of the scene. 3. Some music has lyrics in English which throw me off as I am watching in original language set several centuries ago, yet I have to hear upbeat music from the 21st century. Who thought this was a good idea? Seriously though! 4. Story so far is kind of dull. Some female is accused of witchcraft, but some educated male who believes in science and not ignorant ideas may save the day. Not interesting enough of a story. It could just be the slowness of it. The lack of interesting character building and transitions from scene to scene. I see there are reviews saying how did this get bad rating...and I ask...how did this get good rating?

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.

I never leave reviews or like much but this was entertaining.

Ok, so, first of all I have to specify that my mother tongue is Italian, so I had the pleasure to watch the TV serie in Italian. I don't want to complain about the acting: more experienced actresses made the lines and the overall plot work, even if they were quite surreal. But I really didn't like the plot flow, the characters study was so poor that I simply couldn't believe what was going on there. I couldn't emphasize with both the main characters because, in my perspective, they were really acting randomly. And I'm really sad about this, I really wanted to enjoy it, above all because there aren't a lot of Italian fantasy TV series.

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.
