I Leoni di Sicilia

This is awful, an Italian production that isnt in Italian, it is dubbed! So I for one wont watch it which is a shame, I have read the book and it s a great story but not if its dubbed! Hulu has other great productions that are in the original language, among them Italian ones so why not this one too, at least give the viewers a choice. Americans are used to seeing foreign films in the. Original language, dubbing the film loses a lot, please reconsider and put any film in its original language. Viewers are intelligent and can read subtitles, much of Disney plus gives one the chance of seeing in the original language and Hulu should do the same! I am really disappointed.

Based on the book by Stefania Auci that recounts the rise of one of the most influential families of the Italian medidione from their arrival in Sicily in the late 1700s to the Unification of Italy, the series is a bet gone wrong. Despite the enormous production effort and a very interesting cast, among which Michele Riondino stands out, the story fails precisely in portraying the characters, who are monolithic and lacking depth.

The richness of Sicily is well represented by the magnificent palaces, but the exteriors, thanks also to a gloomy cinematography, do not do justice to Palermo, where it seems that there is only Piazza Pretoria, and a port awkwardly recreated by rather approximate VFX.

Loving this series, but the forced English voiceover is just horrible. I enjoy watching international series in their original audio and hate that I have no choice to change it. And the music is awful too, it just doesn't match up with the era. Hated that about Peaky Blinders as well. These issues are why I can only give it 8 stars. That being said, the story and actors are great! Would've given it an easy 10 if not for my previous complaints. Reading other reviews makes me feel better that I'm not alone and exaggerating.

I also don't appreciate being forced to write a 600 review on here, so it will be my last. Happy New Year to all!

I love it! Took me back to my roots (: Switch the language to Italian, far more authentic experience then. The story is amazing, the acting, the locations, the costumes, the history, the family dynamic, everything just sat right with me. It felt familiar, and I was never once bored while watching it. I really do enjoy a good period drama, and I do hop, that they will make another season!

The music is also worth mentioning! Really good. The only thing I could have needed is more closed ending, it's very abrupt and open in some ways, and ur left with a lot of questions and speculations. Of course that intrigues a lot of people, and it sure spikes my interest in watching more, and hoping for another season (;

This is a great series. The English is horrible. But, you can change it to Italian, French etc. Likewise the subtitles. This is the saga of a family that has a lot of ups and downs. At times it's frustrating to watch. But a great series.

All the reviews that talk about the language thing have not tried to change the language. There are options. I like the series and do not understand how the complainers never thought to look. You don't like something and never look to see if you can change it? Seriously?

I hope that they choose to do more with it. I would love to see another part of this saga.
