I honestly don't know where to start when it comes to this show. I saw a few clips of it last year and had it on my list but nvr felt the urge to watch until recently I learned the directors of skam italia also worked on this MASTERPIECE. First and foremost I would just like to applaud Mattia Carrano who objectively has got to be the best newly coming actor in
2022-23. Mattia's level of acting is profound, for context he play twins in this show and it's not a new concept to have one person plays twins but i genuinely thought he had a twin brother playing the other character.
Andrea and Marco were so incredibly different, the way they talked, smiled, laughed, mannerism, the way they carried themselves, their character, even when the show emphasizes that Andrea and Marco are identical twins you see differences in their features that disspell the idea that Mattia is playing both. Now to go to the actual show, we have Marco who's so lonely, depressed, bullied, and even self harms and we have Andrea who I empathize so much with. Andrea battles so much intrinsically with his own gender identity, sexual orientation, personal relationships and trying to claim freedom for himself but with all that he's facing he appoints himself Marco's caretaker. He worries about himself and his brother and you can see the toll it takes on him when he breaks down in episode 7 cause it's just too much to handle, but Marco has no one, and you can see how it affects their relationship because Andrea has this huge secret which he should be comfortable telling his twin brother but he's more worried about not burdening him leaving them both in isolation. And all Marco wants is for Andrea to be open and comfortable with him. Andrea makes you (the viewer want to love because throughout all he wants is to be loved but he's so preoccupied with taking care of someone and protecting his fears. The show is so thought provoking, introspective and deep you have no option but to feel for both characters. 10000/10. Season 2 has been confirmed thankfully.
