Pompei - La serie

I watched this show for the first time without expecting much because Italian series are always terrible, so I was very surprised when I noticed that this one wasn't bad at all. The story is captivating and I love following multiple main characters. Not all the actors are great, but they are fun. The show switches between genres a lot and I love it, it's a comedy, a soap opera and a thriller all rolled into one. I'm so sad that there are only 6 episodes, but you can see that the budget probably wasn't high, so it's okay. It can be improved, but it's more than fun. Who knows, maybe It Will be extremely popular One Day!

Very entertaining show, liked the concept of having three couples of main character plus the side thriller plot. First and second episode are not a strong start, but they are still enjoyable, later the pace intensifies and you want to binge the second half of the series. I love the way characters interacts with each other, they look very real; some dialogue may be a little dull, but others really engage you. I think the last to episodes are the best, a lots of twists, no down time or useless scenes. The ending is bittersweet and i think it's perfect if they make a sequel. I never thought Pompei was such a charming city!

As an italian, it feels so nice to finally see a tv show were we do not depict ourselves as criminals or stereotypes. This show is far from being perfect, but has its charme; characters are funny, music it's great and i really felt some of the drama. I think this works great as a comfort show, very suitable to watch more than once; Pompei works incredibly good as a setting, so glad we finally see other italian cities. My favorite character are Alessandro and Flavio, remind me of myself and my brother, this show depicts very well the complexity of a family. Dialogues need to be improven, and so the acting, but i think this deserve another season!

've heard bad things about this show, but it's actually quite entertaining, certainly not a masterpiece, after all it's clearly low budget, but it's captivating and entertaining. I think you should binge watch it, like a long six-episode movie, because that way it's very easy to love (almost) all the characters; I love Daniele and Salvo, but to tell the truth I can't stand Marta and Sofia. I think the biggest problems all come from the budget, you can say that they rarely use many extras for example, or that they can't use famous songs, but they came up with some very good original songs and OSTs, so that's fine. As I was saying, a good first season, it deserves more.
