We Are Who We Are

In true Luca fashion, the directing is amazing and the scenery is stunning.

The first episode follows Fraser (played by Jack Dylan Grazier) and his family moving into a US military base in Italy.

Fraser is a quirky, troubled teen who we get to learn a bit about. His interactions and journeys around the base and outside of it make him a loveable and curious character.

The soundtrack, like in Luca's Call Me By Your Name, is extremely brilliant.

While the episode doesn't seem to have any particular direction, once I finished it, I wanted to watch more. Can't wait for the rest of the series.

The first six episodes really seemed like they had promise. The show touches on many interesting ideas, but does not follow through on many (or most) of them.

The seventh episode was a waste of time that added nothing to the stories.

The eight episode is 40 minutes of a concert I didn't want to attend, then a nonsensical ending to a story that had built such complicated characters.

Very unsatisfying overall, but if you're going to try it, binge it. Not worth waiting week to week.

Most tourists only see the Grand Canal, so great to see other parts of that Northern Laguna, passed so quickly from Venice airport to the Old City. Fraser, the adolescent is definitely a complete paradox of a young man, but it's great to see such complex character-molding, with so candid treatment of alternate sexuality and the way the community embraces it - or otherwise. The rest of the Screen-Making community could learn a thing or two from this candid filmography, literally by letting scenes "roll", showing things as they are, as opposed to what the directors want them to be. The guys in this are certainly coquettish, but that's because normal guys, in real life DO act in this manner. Objectified? - huh! Now just don't go and spoil things, HBO - since my "7" , like many others' praise here is provisional.

It's crude , it's raw but whatever it is it's beautiful . Its certainly not for the people who believe in the totality of things , or people who believe that every action is supposed to have a motive . This show is all about the confusion that our minds go through , it's all about those unbridled moments in life where you struggle to define yourself, your ideas and your identity . It's about celebrating the uncertainty of our beings and not giving up on finding our true essence . If you look closely you will find some fragment or the other of your life in the show giving you the assurance that whatever you face is not uncommon and it's certainly not bad . In the end , there are few seemingly bad things about the characters but isnt it the way people are ? Not good , not bad but grey . So watch it if you want to because the result is highly subjective and is extremely dependent on the way you perceive things because in this show there is no single definite reason and I believe that is how things really are . What's good to you might be bad to someone else & vice versa .

Complete first season dilutes the whole rating-system. The invidual episodes have higher ratings the rating all over.
