Deception: the Italian series that everyone is talking about
© NETFLIXFrom time to time, a series is released undercover and becomes unexpectedly in the most seen, above others with big budgets and big stars behind them. This is what has happened with this italian miniseries, which became number one on the platform shortly after its premiere, on October 9, without much publicity behind it, and has remained in that position for three consecutive weeks. What are the ingredients of this success? Its argument is not that it is very new, although we do not doubt that the love story between a mature and multimillionaire woman with a man younger than her, in the picturesque and very attractive italian amalfi coastwith the opposition of his entire family and, above all, his children, has the capacity to get hooked.
Its mix, between a light romantic drama with traces of a soap opera and a happy ending, is one that entertains. without giving headaches. And obviously, another of its great attractions is the gorgeous leading actor, Giacomo Gianniottiwhich does not hesitate for a moment to display its charms for the protagonist and the spectators. So we also let ourselves be conquered and fall at his feet. It doesn’t change our lives, but it does make us happy, even if briefly.
We love it because… It is a light series, without pretensions.
You will like it if you are… A hopeless romantic and you like soap operas.
