Trois mètres au-dessus du ciel

I never review shows. However, I thoroughly enjoyed Summertime because it makes you feel. It makes you want to pack your stuff and visit Italy for a summer. It also makes you relate to the characters regarding themes of loneliness, unrequited love, new found love, and most of all hope. I truly hope there is a Season 2 of this show. It doesn't have a traditional story structure. I was perfectly fine with that because I was invested in the characters and their journeys. Go watch it. You'll be sad when it's over.

I wasn't sure what to expect from it but I loved it. There is some kind of simplicity in this show that I loved and fell really realistic. Maybe it's because I have some bittersweet feeling about my teenage years and like them grew up on a coastal town. I also love that there is so much room for future seasons to come. The music, the actor and the direction was great. Don't listen to those cold heart bad reviews. And oh please, do take in consideration where it comes from. It's an Italian show, not an American one.

It appears who ever wrote season three wanted to just wrap up the show. Nothing more. They decided to go the opposite way just for the sake of it. Ale comes out as a depressed and confused hero.

Summer seems to be an after thought tending to other people's concerns- the show is about everyone else but her in season 3

In Season 2 - there is a buildup to Ale deciding that Summy is the one for him. The show centers on how they are making it back to each other time and time again - Season 3 - What a shame. Had really hoped they would do better or at least leave us with a reasonable conclusion. Or focus on giving the main character something.

Perfect song choices, nice vivid colors but boring story. I don't know why but I just loved Summy's mother. She was so natural. You can watch but don't expect lots of things.

Really saddens me to write this review as I really wanted this series to be great. I wanted it to be amazing, especially because Italian cinema generally erases the existence of people of colour in Italy. It only uses them as background or props so I was very excited to see something different. The scenery and cinematography are beautiful, lots of vivid bright colours and scenic shots... BUT nothing really happens, I persevered and watched the whole series and there's just no drama, suspense, humour or great romance that you could care about... or just anything. The script is very wooden, the interactions don't really flow, it's as if they're cut off and the stories aren't developed enough for us. I feel sorry for the lead actress as she she should have been given better material. Her, her mother and her guy's friend are the most interesting characters but still they're not doing much. It's hard to explain, but I felt like I watched it just waiting for something of interest to happen and it just didn't. There is so much missed opportunity character development and juicy storylines, but somehow they missed it all. Like it's a very average series, some will enjoy it as it's pretty to watch, a nice time filler at best but that's it.
