Nettare degli dei

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.

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!

This is hard to warm up to, I admit, but hang in there. It is totally worth your time. I had a difficult time caring about any of it for at least the first 3 episodes but as the story (and its premise) is further revealed in subsequent episodes, I found that I never wanted it to end! A surprising and utterly charming film. The different languages really enhance the experience so I encourage viewers to just read the subtitles to get the full "flavor" of the series. I was not familiar with any of these actors but I certainly am now. I will follow their careers with great interest. Not even one actor hit a false note. Don't miss this one!

What a strange idea. A psychosomatic issue doesn't allow a woman to drink any alcohol but when her father passes she has to compete in a wine competition for an inheritance. The character work is great, the information about wine is something I had no knowledge of and was really interesting, though I have no idea how accurate it is. I like that it bridges Japanese and French, the production values are great.

The only downside is that it moves sometimes slowly, but there is payoff for that buildup in both character development and plot, so I ended up very happy with it. Apparently it's based off of a manga, which I'm now curious about.

Across 3 languages is no easy feat. It is intriguing & the characters you think are wooden but not. Especially if you travel you understand as well as the source material. The Test/ challenge is main thread (securing an incredible inheritance) of the series. Pitted between the deceased's daughter (who does not drink) and a Master Sommelier of Japanese Heritage. It can keep you concern for who will be the winner with out the violence that most films series require in a competition. The cast is not known and that is refreshing as well. It ticks all the boxes for love, food, wine, wealth, family dynamics, betrayal and compassion. It could be considered artsy/ independent because of all of the above. Enjoy.
