Viola come il mare

It a light-hearted romantic comedy, with a touch of a detective story, with two beautiful leads Can Yaman and Francesca Chillemi who suit each other very well and their tandem works just fine. . A very enjoyable watch, hilarious at times. The actors are very good, and the setting is beautiful. But don't expect too much criminal drama, because it is more of a romcom than a detective story. The supporting cast is great, especially Chiara Tron playing Tamara and Giovanni Nasta as Turi. However, the script lacks something- sometimes the development between the leads felt too slow, and reserved, I wish the writers had been bolder when writing the lines.

First time Turkish actor Can Yaman is acting in Italian and he did not disappoint! Always been a fan of police dramas and I fully enjoyed this new one. Great story line and writing. Just the right amount of seriousness and comedic banter. Absolutely beautiful scenery. Looking forward to the upcoming episodes. Definitely kept my attention. Great chemistry between cast members especially Can Yaman and Francesca Chillemi. They leave you wanting to get to know them more. Can't wait to see how their relationship progresses. Definitely worth watching. You will not be disappointed. Bravo to the cast and crew!

Best series watched in a while. All characters are written so well! Can Yaman & Francesca Chillemi's acting is amazing. The chemistry those two created onscreen is interesting already. Love her character, funny and witty. Also Can Yaman, he is whole new in this. I've seen his in Erkenci kus & other of his turkish series, but in Viola come il mare, an Italian series, he is completely different. A new person & it only shows how much he grew and his progress as a human and celebrity. I'm really proud of him. Bravo Can!! I think I'm gonna rewatch the series again & again; never get bored. Can't wait to watch remaning episodes. Sending love from India 🇮🇳

Second season review - Although I give the second season a ten, there is no chemistry, spark or magic between Can Yaman and Francesca Chillemi. They look absolutely beautiful together but adding scenes where they kiss isn't helping. The series is very successful in Italy and 20 other countries. I watch it for Can Yaman, for the scenery of Palermo and for other cast members. It is also well directed and edited. A third season is confirmed. I do not like that the character of Viola is sarcastic and always one ups the character of Francesco. Or tries to. It borders on emasculating his character something that really turns me off in other series. The two characters or maybe the actors themselves seem to be holding back on electrifying their relationship. Can by himself is mesmerizing on screen. That will do.

The neurological disorder that main character Viola (played by Francesca Chillemi of Che Dio ci aiuti) has is intriguing and I think will play the major story arc in the story throughout. Her synesthesia as they call it will help Inspector Demir (played by international actor Can Yaman, amazingly shot the series in full Italian) solve cases every episode. Its great that we are already introduced to the rest of the cast in the first two episodes and hopefully we see each of their backstory fleshed out in the coming episodes. Overall, a pretty well thought out show best enjoyed at the end of the week!

Glad this can be streamed via mediasetinfinity app for international audience but only concerned they didn't have the option for subtitles. Seeing that they have a global audience for this show, I hope they soon add it in the service.
