NOT "Hallmark" - great writing & amazing cast
23 January 2023
Anyone who thinks this is "Hallmark" clearly stopped watching in episode two.

This show is one of the best shows I've seen about deep love and the struggles that come later and all the roller coasters that come as a relationship unfolds long-term.

Trying to avoid spoilers.

I will say this - I became so emotionally attached to these characters that when things were clearly going to take a dark turn, I walked away for over a week.

But when I finally watched the last two episodes, I laughed, I cried, I laughed, I cried.

In fact, for the first time in my life, when the final episode ended, I watched the last 40 minutes AGAIN.

Zoe Saldana is AMAZING in the lead. The show even has a great child actor. The extended family casting on both sides - every single character and actor is endearing, commanding, and perfect for the role and the story.

If you like a truly great love story, food, Italy, humour, etc - there is so much to love here. Highly recommend. And stay with it. The ending is what you need it to be.
