Caroline B @RT01069738 Apr 5, 2025 Really enjoyable storylines, quite downton abbey-esque. I particularly enjoyed the beautiful scenery. See more Chris P @RT36976835 Sep 26, 2024 It looks amazing but the writing is horrible. See more Lew A @RT13006238 Aug 23, 2024 Cripes this was awful! The acting, plot, especially the direction. I suffered through episode 1 tinging it's on PBS so it must be good. Dreck. See more Emm E @RT50804639 Aug 21, 2024 This is a silly rip-off of Dowtown Abbey set in Italy. “Bella,” the main character, is blander than a dressed-up potato - the actor’s wig is obvious and she tries unsuccessfully to “face act,” relying heavily on her big blue eyes and perfectly lipsticked mouth, but the result is B O R I N G. Everything is too pretty and contrived, and the acting consists of sipping tea and giving side-eye. You can guess who will hook up with whom during the first episode. Skip it unless you are recovering from the flu or a bad car accident. See more Chas J @RT68173135 Nov 28, 2023 While the scenery & costumes are gorgeous, the rest of the show is lacking. The story & characters are drab & dull. This is probably one of the worst shows I've watched on PBS. See more Ronald W @RT16498258 Oct 20, 2023 The series started strong with the backdrop of Fascist Italy providing a sharp edge to the storyline. However, the final two episodes devolved into a "Days Of Our Lives" deterioration in the transparency of the characters. Unfortunately, the hotel occupants eventually leave the viewer with an empty sense of depth, which makes one care little about their little lives. See more Read all reviews
