Las gotas de Dios

Great show! The first few episodes really caught my attention. I liked how the story unraveled bit by bit. And a competition focused on tasting wines and food - Yes, count me in.

Though I'm a novice at recognizing any kind of wine since I only like wines that are homemade and sweet, I understand why enology is an interesting subject. Imagine tasting a bottle of fermented grape juice and being able to discern how, when, and where it was made. That is crazy!

Anyway, this story manages to intertwine the dying wish of an eccentric wine collector with the lives of two talented and equally eccentric people who could benefit from his death.

Some parts of the show seem a bit drawn out, but the final episode was quite moving.

If you love wine culture and family dramas, this is for you.

The show has intriguing characters, smart dialogue, excellent visuals, and a very interesting context or subject matter.

It's culturally interesting-and I feel it's also culturally honest.

It is so lovely to see a show that you can enjoy without being distracted by poor choices; it is consistently pleasing to watch and listen to.

The process of getting to know the characters through the stories being told is what makes it worth my time. It's also nice that I feel I learn a little while being entertained.

I highly recommend this show. It's as good and riveting as Black Bird. I look forward to watching the last two episodes.

Finally something original... feels... fresh!

Loved the setting in different countries and the concept of multiple languages used at once. Characters fit their role perfectly, the contrast between the Japanese and French (European) culture is very well defined and not overblown.

It's a smart watch, and you can also learn a thing or two about wine. Definitely a must-see for wine lovers, both in theory/academics or just people who enjoy drinking wine.

The romance as a subplot is alright, it doesn't take the main stage and lingers in behind the main story just to spice things up a little...

The tests keep you guessing and you never really know who's gonna win until the last episode at which point it becomes clear rather early in the episode.

After lots of twists and smart intrigue, the ending feels like a nice closure.

I can only hope we get to see more original shows like this one.

I wasn't impressed with the trailer but started watching out of curiosity. What a surprise! It's hard to describe, it isn't like anything else.

I've read comments about it being pretentious but i really don't feel that way. Maybe the fact that it's mainly in French and about wine makes some people feel a certain type of way?

The casting is excellent, apart maybe from Camille's mother that feels a bit less credible to me. Fleur Geffrier is wonderful in her part and I'm curious to see how Tomohisa Yamashita's character will develop.

The show also looks really beautiful. Like really beautifully shot and directed. The music score has some very mesmerizing moments too (in episode 2 especially).

So far one of my favorite show this year!

It's a little ironic in a way that a subject so steeped in taste and smell gets represented in a medium that can deliver neither of these - the fact that this isn't really a problem is a tribute to the brilliance and craft of those responsible for making this show.

For the most part Drops of God has a carefully sculpted aesthetic.

It's a multi-level approach - location plays a key role, but sound, lighting, and cinematography are elevated to convey the additional information - combined with a motif element to account for the filing of information on smell and taste.

Some great acting, and a great story - with a script that is a little clunky at times but mostly works well.

Considering that three languages are managed quite seamlessly and transparently, and that the end result is very satisfying, it's clear that this is a work of high accomplishment.

One episode to go and I'm hanging out to see which way the chips will fall.
