Luna Nera

Short season with something happening each episode, this is the first out of a series of attempts on several Italian originals on Netflix and stands out. Great cinematography, just as impactful in English and Italian and that climatic season finale was a great pay off.

I never leave reviews or like much but this was entertaining.

No idea what problems some reviewers have with consistency, acting and plot. This was amazing. Strong characters, emotional, developing story, witchcraft, feminism and medieval ideas all well established throughout.

I felt the pain and anguish of the lead character and had a powerful response to the injustices of the past.

Amazing.

Ok, so, first of all I have to specify that my mother tongue is Italian, so I had the pleasure to watch the TV serie in Italian. I don't want to complain about the acting: more experienced actresses made the lines and the overall plot work, even if they were quite surreal. But I really didn't like the plot flow, the characters study was so poor that I simply couldn't believe what was going on there. I couldn't emphasize with both the main characters because, in my perspective, they were really acting randomly. And I'm really sad about this, I really wanted to enjoy it, above all because there aren't a lot of Italian fantasy TV series.

This has a lot of promise still and I hope to see it grow further. The pace and focus of the story could use help sometimes. It didn't pick up proper and consistent until the last episode.
