Un professore

Although the series is not available in English, I managed to watch it with subtitles and it was well worth the effort.

It starts like a more typical coming of age story, but soon you'll notice the story developing to much more than that.

Set against the backdrop of Rome (that looks remarkably quiet and green) we follow the story of a philosophy teacher and his students. Although you could question the professors (romantic and parenting) choices, you feel the love for his profession and students in every single class he teaches about the great philosophers and it will make you look back to some of your teachers and wish you had more teachers like him.

The young actors show some remarkable talent but the series is really carried by Alessandro Gassmann and Damiano Gavino who really make their characters come to life.

If you appreciate a teenagers coming of age story against the beautiful decor of Rome, waved into a Philosphy lesson brought to live by a crazy teacher, you'll binge this series for sure.
