La ragazza e il cosmonauta

There are few good things I can say about this series; good cinematography, good production design and good music. I live in Poland so I like the way they design how Warsaw will looks like in 30 years and creat a retro-futuristic city from those existing blocks from commie time.

The love-triangle plot is not new (imagine Pearl harbour set in 2023) and you could list like 157 movies/series that involve a dangerous Russian corporation working on a top-secret space project. Still with good writing, these storylines could be interesting and that's the problem because the screenplay totally sucks.

Imho, it all starts with the unconvincing character building. I can see a strong attempt to creat cool characters, unfortunately the result turns out to be the opposite and all the characters are unlikable, irrational and unstable. I don't understand why they do what they do and that makes them very difficult to root for.

Conversations are also unnatural, some scenes seem forced and characters behaviors so pretentious. There are so many questionable things in the series like all the characters still driving cars with diesel engines from 70-80's when it's supposed to be in 2050 something or the fact that the villainous Russian space corp head quarter looks more like a set for fashion photoshoot because it's full of young, model-beautiful and impeccably dressed scientists. I could go on and on about things that doesn't make sense in this series.

To sum it up, they've set up quite a nice background for the story, but then they ruined it all with bad writing.

This show is basically just a polish night time soap opera. The story is weak. The dialogue is weak. The acting is decent. Good cinematography all around. Basically it's just about people looking for sex at dance clubs. The spy thriller element makes no sense so it's just filler I guess. I give it 3 stars for the dance club music and a few other good songs and some good passionate love scenes between girls and astronauts, I guess. I mean that's probably the plot line. Girls who like astronauts and like dancing and then after go somewhere for sex. I believe that's the main idea behind this show.

There were interesting characters that you want to care about. Some relationship dynamics were a bit hard to swallow as believable. It had an interesting plot concept and story line. But some of the bits and pieces of it were missing some continuity. I wasn't always sure of how many directions this was going in. However, I was invested in finding out who she chose. Not sure if the story would continue to be as interesting if there was a second season. Great cinematography and the effects were believable. It's really too bad it had to end as stupidly has it did. Vast disappointment unfortunately. It's was good til the last 5 minutes.

... the plot isn't something well-written or very sophisticated.... it's a straightforward time complicated love-triangle.. production budget being quite high was a total waste for what was produced... and why on Earth would they choose an actor who's supposed to be his thirty year aged self, looking nothing like who he was when younger... to a point he's even nowhere near the same height which is ludicrous... and Magdalena Cielecka being a very attractive 50yo woman, how-why does she come off most times looking a worn-drawn-decade-older in this series

... as a Polish science-fiction romance-drama it falls waaaay short, and should have been made into a ninety-plus minute film, not painfully extended-over a multi-episode-series... one critic nails it saying... "If you're a fan of teen-love-triangle-dramas and have binged on-the-likes of Vampire Diaries, you'll probably enjoy the back-and-forth in this film between the main leads. Other than that, it is nothing that will interest adults looking for something with depth and meaning." ... hard-pass.

I'm always confused when there are such drastic extremes in the ratings on IMDb. This show was really good! Definitely not perfect, but it has all the elements to enjoy it. Great actors, cinematography, story line, love story. I can see sci-fi fans being disappointed because it isn't sci-fi focused. It is definitely a love story.

The parts that trip me up are the scenes in the future. The SkyCom aspect felt so disjointed and like it didn't belong, almost campy. It would've been better to do without it or flesh it out better with 10 episodes. There was no real reason for it and no answer to why some events happened. The other aspect is the last episode. Like, what? That's not an ending, at least to the questions I wanted answered. It's like the writers were told to wrap it up one day. Again, could've done with 10 episodes.

Despite that, I love the actors, and really enjoyed the music. I really wish the future storyline had been thought out better.
