Viola come il mare

These first two episodes introduced us to some fun and interesting characters as played by the leads, Can Yaman and Francesca Chillemi. Their chemistry from the very get go is palpable, believable, and understandable between two such beautiful people. The cast is a interesting group of passionate people, including lots of angry women. Is that an Italian thing? Not sure as I'm new to this cultural genre. But the setting is beautiful, and the subtle comedy between the suave Inspector Demir and the sometimes awkward, but intrigued Viola is light enough to take the dark edge off the murders and such. I feel this series is going to go well. It's very promising indeed. Only wish it was available to an international audience. Watching from the USA.

First time Turkish actor Can Yaman is acting in Italian and he did not disappoint! Always been a fan of police dramas and I fully enjoyed this new one. Great story line and writing. Just the right amount of seriousness and comedic banter. Absolutely beautiful scenery. Looking forward to the upcoming episodes. Definitely kept my attention. Great chemistry between cast members especially Can Yaman and Francesca Chillemi. They leave you wanting to get to know them more. Can't wait to see how their relationship progresses. Definitely worth watching. You will not be disappointed. Bravo to the cast and crew!

Second season review - Although I give the second season a ten, there is no chemistry, spark or magic between Can Yaman and Francesca Chillemi. They look absolutely beautiful together but adding scenes where they kiss isn't helping. The series is very successful in Italy and 20 other countries. I watch it for Can Yaman, for the scenery of Palermo and for other cast members. It is also well directed and edited. A third season is confirmed. I do not like that the character of Viola is sarcastic and always one ups the character of Francesco. Or tries to. It borders on emasculating his character something that really turns me off in other series. The two characters or maybe the actors themselves seem to be holding back on electrifying their relationship. Can by himself is mesmerizing on screen. That will do.

The neurological disorder that main character Viola (played by Francesca Chillemi of Che Dio ci aiuti) has is intriguing and I think will play the major story arc in the story throughout. Her synesthesia as they call it will help Inspector Demir (played by international actor Can Yaman, amazingly shot the series in full Italian) solve cases every episode. Its great that we are already introduced to the rest of the cast in the first two episodes and hopefully we see each of their backstory fleshed out in the coming episodes. Overall, a pretty well thought out show best enjoyed at the end of the week!

Glad this can be streamed via mediasetinfinity app for international audience but only concerned they didn't have the option for subtitles. Seeing that they have a global audience for this show, I hope they soon add it in the service.

First time for Can Yaman acting in Italian on Italian tv. This is a great stepping stone to what's to come. I don't speak a word of Italian and Can Yaman's characterization of Francesco Demir kept me intrigued and I understood his actions perfectly. I particularly loved his sarcasm. Again, I don't speak Italian but understood perfectly well his interpretation of his character. It will be interesting to discover his background story in the next episodes. Viola characterized by Francesca Chillemi, a journalist with a special condition that she utilizes to help others. Viola is funny, smart and beautiful!
