Nove perfetti sconosciuti

There were at least a dozen life lessons taught through the existence and experiences of every character. In my eyes, that makes this series meaningful and gloriously made.

Fantastic cast totally torpedoed by terrible pacing and direction. The longer it goes on, the less interested I am in the characters' outcomes.

Firstly, I think you need to watch the entire season to get what the series is on about, and if you don't like it then, that's alright, but judging this show based off the first couple episodes is nugatory because the the whole season is about what's gonna happen at the end. So don't watch it if you're unwilling to go the distance, which isn't that far, just 8 episodes.

At first, I thought it was going to have a "White lotus" type of ending, just some cliche finale where murder happened and the culprit is revealed, but not in a million years would I have guessed the direction the show was going even though there were several inklings along the way. I don't think it's the best show out there or anything, but it definitely doesn't deserve poor ratings; the first couple episodes weren't bad either, just left you a little all over the place because you don't get to piece together the full story yet, only that something unorthodox is happening so it's definitely worth a wait till the end before making up your mind about it. And if you are prudent when watching each character's story, there could be a thing or two you can learn from it as well.

It's not a perfect show, but from the first 3 episodes that have been released it's intriguing- there's an overall uneasy feeling, the acting is very good for the most part (the scenes between Melissa Mcarthy and Bobby Cannavale's characters steal the show) and the scenery is beautiful!! I definitely will be watching the other episodes as they are released.

Great premise, beautiful cinematography, terrific cast. Too bad the plot falls flat towards the end. And the last five minutes are just stupid. Too bad, because it started pretty strong. But then it just lost steam and eventually got ridiculous. To the point that I only gave it six stars and I am being extremely generous.

Now the big question is, why do we need to write six hundred characters to comment on imdb? I have read actual film reviews by real film critics that were shorter than that. I think three hundred words would have been just fine, without risking spoiling anything for people who reads it.
