Baby

If you are 20+, probably it will be hard to make it through this series, because BABY's target is not you. Said that, I saw all the episodes in two evenings. It's true that I hadn't other interesting shows to see, but I have to admit that this mini-series is quite addictive and I precisely don't know why.

What I absolutely disliked: all the characters come from wealthy families, they attend a private school and their only problem is to find love. Obviously, the classic stereotypes are massively present: the rich rebel teenager that lost his mother and has an absent father, the rich girl whose parents are going to divorce, the girl with a rich absent father and that lives with her moody mother, the omosexual guy that hides his nature to his father and finally the spoiled teenager that is completely superficial. Furthermore, the dialogues seem to be written by a teenager that read a lot of quotes around the web. Obviously, the plot is quite trivial.

Despite all of this, I have to say that the photography actracted me, as well as the always beautiful Rome as background. I liked the acting, it's not so usual to see good young Italian actors and actresses.

If you want to feel young and forgot your adult problems for some hours, watch this show without questioning, just appreciating that for what it is, an high-budget italian series for teenagers.

I didnt expect too much and was actually really surprised. it is kinda lowbudget but these characters and their relationships... Just really good storytelling

Character development is good, it is a fun plot and it is shot very nicely. English voiceover is funny, but I watched it with CC and it is fine. It is all buttoned up in the end so not sure a season 2 is needed, but I would entertain the idea of more misadventures from the cast.

Not quite what I expected: I thought the "poor little rich girls" setting would get old pretty quick but it doesn't; storytelling is pretty slow (shall I say European-paced?) but pretty gripping. Some subplots are less convincing than other but still, this is a show I enjoy quite a lot.

From the first episode I wanted to give this 3/10 but then it got juicier. The story portrays the life of some desperate teenagers with family issues, seeking for attention, starving for love and care which is not too far from reality. Making mistakes, learning how to take responsibility for their own actions, getting to know who they really are... It's not bad if you give it a chance!
