When I choose something new to watch I just read the premise and from that I decide whether or not I should devote my time to it. I've read this show's premise like two months ago and only now I've managed to put my hands on it - and I watched it all in one evening. That's what REALLY good shows do.
Generazione 56K offers a lot to the viewer from the get-go: two timelines, memorable characters with great chemistry that you instantly fall in love with, the setting, beautiful Italy, fantastic dialogues - I honestly couldn't name one bad thing about this TV series. Well, maybe only that it plays too safe and you know almost right away what is going to happen with the main characters by the end of the season but that doesn't make the watch any less entertaining.
I recently started learning Italian but out of every piece of dialogue here I could only find a couple of phrases to remember. Hopefully, by the time season 2 of this fabulous show comes out I will have my vocabulary expanded so I would not have to rely on subtitles that much.
