Bang Bang Baby

This so was awesome. It wasn't just a mob show or a teen show. It had a mix from every genre in it in some way. It was just so fun.

I hope it gets a second season I want to see what happens to Alice in Italian Wonderland.

Italians could make great genre films in the past that are remembered even today and found by the new audiences every day. This can't be said for many of the new italian movies and serieses. However Bang Bang Baby is a big exception to this and it shows how cool italian directors and filmmakers can be. Just disregard the ominous name.

This series has high production values, big budget, fantastic cast, great 80's music and very very good script. It appears that nothing could go wrong with the first five episodes because I was completely hooked. I didn't have any boring moments watching it. I can't think of negative things to say.

Wow! What a TV show!

Awesome plot! So many climaxes in it!

The psychology behind it is spectacular, especially regarding father and daughter relationships.

Terrific acting! Very engaging performance.

Wonderful cinematography! The lights were always captivating at the right moment.

Last but not least, fabulous soundtracks!

Some parts are interesting, the character of the grandma is very cool but the protagonist girls has 1 expression and the general storytelling is fragmentary and counterclimatic. Wanted to like it but stopped watching at episode 2. Also, signature gay character that needs to be shoehorned in every modern series made my eyes roll at minute 5. Director wants to imitate Sorrentino but should have had a more Gomorra-like pacing and style to make this enjoyable.

Certainly not for the "sanitized Inspector Montelbano" or "gritty Gomorrah" fans.

More in the vein of Killing Eve or Get Shorty or Fargo, noir in the Italian tradition where law and family allegiances are often in conflict but with an irreverent touch of comedy and characters. Well written, filmed and acted. A motley set of characters while a bit stereotyped, nevertheless, manage to pull it off with a straight face. While the subject matter is for mature audiences, it is fairly well sanitized without gratuitous gore.

Like a good series, it isn't about a single logical ending with a long way to get there. One never knows where it is going to go next with its twists and turns. It isn't a simple good vs bad story.

The lead character being a young teenager brilliantly portrayed is a refreshing take on the crime-comedy genre.

Watch it without any pre-conceived notion of genre or characters or period to enjoy it.
