‘The chemistry between couples like Rosa & Carmine and Cardio & Gemma is just perfect. The first season was really sad.
‘The second season was good and the third season was the best. Rosa honestly carried the third season I love her character.
‘I hope Edoardo ends up with Carmela. I do have to say there is a lot of unnecessary nudity in the third season. Overall i love the soundtrack and the actors.
‘You feel sympathetic towards the characters as you watch them. It’s an addicting show.’
While another likened the show to The Godfather and said: ‘It does hold your interest in a hard to explain way.
‘The plot is like The Godfather for kiddies, except these “juveniles” look anything but juvenile, perhaps young adults in their mid twenties at least.
‘They are also the best dressed juvenile delinquents. Ciro and Eduardo have a permanent frown, as all of the characters have their quirks.’
