Luna Nera

If witchcraft is your thing, you might want to check out Luna Nera. It's not perfect, but it has a lot going for it as well. The athmosphere is authentic, you can relate to the characters and obviously italian is a beautiful language to listen to. Main points of criticism for me were sound and sound editing and the fact that it's an open ending. Some of the writing could be better as wel, but all in all I enjoyed watching this show.

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.

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.

Short season with something happening each episode, this is the first out of a series of attempts on several Italian originals on Netflix and stands out. Great cinematography, just as impactful in English and Italian and that climatic season finale was a great pay off.

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