L'estate nei tuoi occhi

I actually thought that this would have been a different teen romance compared to the other stuff we've seen. But I was wrong about that.

The show is definitely not bad but it falls into to the case of bad writing and poor development. A lot of these characters are very stereotypical which makes the show really predictable. Certain things happen throughout the show that just leaves me in disbelief and the decisions made by these characters are just plain laughable.

The love triangle didn't really get momentum until the later episodes and the various subplots dragged the show down. The only storyline besides the main that I actually enjoyed was with the parents surprisingly.

Overall, the show was pretty much mid from the get-go. Nothing really convinced me that this was a good show and it just made me dissatisfied.

Jeremiah is by far the best character of the series. Such a cute tween book to series adaptation. There's many layers and relationships from parents to children that everyone can connect with.

I kinda liked season one. It was sweet, although a bit messy. Belly ended up with the right brother.

But season two?

Oh, my ... What a trainwreck. It makes no sense to me why anyone would ruin a nice romance story like that.

I also don't get how teenagers get to do whatever they want with whomever they want whenever they want, and noone is keeping an eye on them. Belly is only 16, and the boys not much older.

The whole thing with Aunt Julia also seems forced and ridiculous.

The entire season two is just one, big, ridiculous mess. I hope they won't make a season three, 'cause I will have to watch it to see what happens to the only likeable brother.

One of those series that made me watch just because I saw the trailer and I was hooked.

Based on the books by Jenny Han, this series is good as its own. There's the summer story, romance, drama and sadly tragedy. At first, it is a simple story of how Belly spent her usual summer until everything is different and how that year changed everything.

It's a usual growing of age story yet it is still enjoyable and fun to watch. Easy to binge with good ensemble cast and really good soundtrack. A romance story with songs from Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo? It's a yes. So if you are looking for a series to easily binge and enjoy, this is a good series to begin with. Season 2 is also about to get released this week. Crossfingers on that Back to December version from the trailer.

At the end of season 1, you're gonna have a question whether you are team Jeremiah or Team Conrad

The Summer I Turned Pretty season 1 is 7/10. It'll make you smile and cry.

It's alright, good binge material if you're bored.

Decent acting in season 1, the second season however fails to deliver. The story lacks depth in both seasons and is very predictable.

The source material feels as though it was taken straight out of Wattpad, no idea why there's so much hype out there.

I take it the books are better?
