The Ignorant Angels

I just finished watching this. I have watched several of Oztepek's films and love his work (bias?) This is no exception.

The celebration of life (even in death) and the true connections and bonds between people are so beautifully painted that I cried and laughed many times during every episode.

A cast of several queer and "non-conforming" (for lack of a better word) people are beautifully portrayed and their challenges in life are dealt with love and a deep understanding for the challenges we meet out there. Strength comes from unusual places and is in no way contradictory to vulnerability. The lipstick scene is priceless.

Then there's the language (watch the original with subtitles), all the Italian dialects, the Turkish (which is beautiful but I don't understand it), the cinematography, the attention to details, great acting, and yes, Ozpetek's amazing direction.

I truly enjoyed having more than the movie-time to get to know the various fates of these characters. Amazing show.

This series was absolutely beautiful. The cinematography, the acting, the music choices, you feel all the passion and all the ups and downs, all the torment. The flt is interesting and unique (and now I need to see the original film!). At its heart, what I love best is its humanity. Each of the characters is on a journey, is human. The way they interact and are on a journey together is also so interesting and beautiful. The acting is amazing, but the cinematography combined with the music in particular just had me overwhelmed. I sincerely hope they are able to do a second season of this series to show us what happens with all the open plot lines. Highly recommend.

As a young adult, my watching experience has been vigorously interested by the story's flowing with grace and passion within a picturesque background and tasteful food&conversations.

One of the most addictive series Of a dramatic content I have ever watched! The storyline is quite realistic and develops nicely and in a heartfelt way that makes it more attractive with every episode. Excellent acting, wonderful characters, one could actually meet in real life, interacting seriously with each other as real people and not as caricatures of the gay crowd. Lovable - all of them. One feels for them without even realizing it. Directing, camera work and photography are also a big plus. Inspired and inspiring work... A little gem of Italian TV - a big one, actually!

If you're thinking about if this show worths your time: it does. The soundtrack is perfect, the photography is marvelous.

The story is so well made, that even the way the season ended i wouldn't be crying or mad if they choose not to do another season.

Every story were well explored, they did a really great job by giving every character a real depth, it felt like i was watching a real story. Its envolving, it treats how humas co-op with fidelity, love, self-love, hate... It has every element to say this is true art

I know, i know, i will not give you any spoilers, i will just end this review by saying that this show deserves more recognition.
