Gotas Divinas

Across 3 languages is no easy feat. It is intriguing & the characters you think are wooden but not. Especially if you travel you understand as well as the source material. The Test/ challenge is main thread (securing an incredible inheritance) of the series. Pitted between the deceased's daughter (who does not drink) and a Master Sommelier of Japanese Heritage. It can keep you concern for who will be the winner with out the violence that most films series require in a competition. The cast is not known and that is refreshing as well. It ticks all the boxes for love, food, wine, wealth, family dynamics, betrayal and compassion. It could be considered artsy/ independent because of all of the above. Enjoy.

The show has intriguing characters, smart dialogue, excellent visuals, and a very interesting context or subject matter.

It's culturally interesting-and I feel it's also culturally honest.

It is so lovely to see a show that you can enjoy without being distracted by poor choices; it is consistently pleasing to watch and listen to.

The process of getting to know the characters through the stories being told is what makes it worth my time. It's also nice that I feel I learn a little while being entertained.

I highly recommend this show. It's as good and riveting as Black Bird. I look forward to watching the last two episodes.

In an ocean of overdone cartoons, vacuous gore, CGI, true stories and star wars-type productions, here we have a unique fictional story with an original plot, spanning across geographical boundaries and time periods, deeply human, with whatever darkness or light that carries along, beautiful photography, attention to detail in the production and complex characters who slowly unfold through an intricately unpredictable and quite addictive narrative full of twists about a side of the wine industry few are familiar with. Contemporary, smart, entertaining and just beautiful to watch...A true breath of fresh air.

Great show! The first few episodes really caught my attention. I liked how the story unraveled bit by bit. And a competition focused on tasting wines and food - Yes, count me in.

Though I'm a novice at recognizing any kind of wine since I only like wines that are homemade and sweet, I understand why enology is an interesting subject. Imagine tasting a bottle of fermented grape juice and being able to discern how, when, and where it was made. That is crazy!

Anyway, this story manages to intertwine the dying wish of an eccentric wine collector with the lives of two talented and equally eccentric people who could benefit from his death.

Some parts of the show seem a bit drawn out, but the final episode was quite moving.

If you love wine culture and family dramas, this is for you.

I wasn't impressed with the trailer but started watching out of curiosity. What a surprise! It's hard to describe, it isn't like anything else.

I've read comments about it being pretentious but i really don't feel that way. Maybe the fact that it's mainly in French and about wine makes some people feel a certain type of way?

The casting is excellent, apart maybe from Camille's mother that feels a bit less credible to me. Fleur Geffrier is wonderful in her part and I'm curious to see how Tomohisa Yamashita's character will develop.

The show also looks really beautiful. Like really beautifully shot and directed. The music score has some very mesmerizing moments too (in episode 2 especially).

So far one of my favorite show this year!
