Good
katharina-muellner2 November 2021
No, it's not a serious, Emmy worthy show. It's exaggerating and sometimes even silly, BUT I couldn't stop watching.

It's funny, lighthearted and the characters are all so lovable. Turn off your brain and enjoy the ride. Felt greatly entertained :)

Better than expected
sandrakazocar16 December 2021
I didn't expect much from this show, since it looked like a generic romantic comedy and I don't believe in astrology, but one day I was feeling overwhelmed and needed something cheerful to watch so I watched the first episode and I liked it. As I continued with the next ones, I started to love it.

It's funny, light-hearted, I really like the lead as she is not the typical female lead, and the events, characters and situations are not cheesy, even though you can easily predict the plot, it doesn't get boring.

I am eagerly waiting for second season as that season finale left me shocked.

I would definitely recommend if you like a quirky style.

Adorable little series
jesuison15 March 2022
I really enjoyed this series. It was lighthearted, quirky, and sweet. It's nice to find shows that allow our minds to unwind from serious subjects and reality. The acting was good, the backdrop of Italy is great escapism, and the main actress has good comedic timing. Let's be honest, the cast of hot Italian actors really was the cherry on top. The writing was not award winning and kinda corny, but that's not really what we're watching it for. This show was perfect for relaxing indoors in your pjs.

My only (non)complaint... what Taurus hurt these writers? We're so lovable!

true to the book
peppicolaaa29 October 2021
Having read the book by Silvia Zucca, I can confirm that the shows stays 95% true to the book when it comes to the events.. the only issue is that the book is hilarious and this show is kinda meh?

The acting is ok, and the over use of random music kinda bothers me. I wish more had been done, but honestly I'm already content that the plot was not majorly changed.

I liked it very much! Sometimes I really need to watch something simple, not complicated and funny. This is what I want. It has everything. I loved all characters.

A bit of Italian fun
gabyf_moreno2 November 2021
I think it's a funny lighthearted series to watch when you are just too tired, too bored and too emotionally drained to watch dramas or anything too complicated. Maybe I was a bit generous with the rating but I did binge it in one sitting, so they must have done something right (I do have a soft spot for Italian things though). Can't wait for Season 2!

Didn't read the book but I loved the show. Lead actress is really cute and silly, the show is just heartwarming and easy to watch. Hope to see the season 2 very soon.

fun series
luckyeddee25 November 2021
Enjoyed it and it definitely has me waiting on a season two. Light hearted entertainment throughout. I like watching foreign films and however Netflix has managed to get many of them, including this one, into English is a plus.

Perfect for rom com lovers!
marszipan28 December 2021
If youre into rom coms such as bridget jones u would love this series.. its a light hearwarming kind of show. Nothing too heavy which is good because ive been watching heavy dramas before this..its a feel good type of show. The chemistry between the characters are really good too. The show is not too long so it wont take much of your time. I dont believe much in astrology but after this show I have to say im actually paying attention to it more. I suppose if you believe in astrology and love together this show would be perfect for you.

Easy one-sitting watch but....
kigaiyuuto29 October 2021
Binged all the episodes in one sitting. Beautiful location acting is ok, a good combo platter of Italian men lol but yeah a lot of things make it unsatisfactory and took me out of the it hence the score. It tries to go "woke" but still applies the double standard to the black and LGBT characters........

Funny Story based on Alicia's situation.
sionnach-liath27 October 2021
The premise is interesting. The story is good without being extreme. How does Tio get so much right?

I watched Episode 1 which I enjoyed. So far not too cheesy and has a few funny quirks. I look forward to the rest.

For now I am happy to give it an 8. Enjoy!

Run of the mill premise, decent watch but atrocious female lead!
snehakakroo2 November 2021
Cute premise, run of the mill romance story. No problem with that though. The lead actress keeps on overacting to the absolute hilt and is hard to watch. Everything else is decent even though its a predictable done to death story. I enjoyed everyones performance just not the female lead and given that she has the longest role they should've made sure to get someone who is either pretty or a good actress or at the very list does not overact and try to look cute all the time.

Dumb
roxauro16 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Quite dumb show, only watched because of the stunning images of Turin and I loved the actor and character of Tio. The actress is good but I couldn't stand her, with that always surprised and doubtful face expressions... waiting for her to talk. Just unbearable. The labour part in the end was stupid. Like breaking waters and giving birth in one hour time. And the relationship of Davide with his brother's widow is simply f*+d up.

Light, Funny, and Entertaining

Some S P O I L E R A L E R T

When I first saw the trailer, I decided to watch it. Cause I also study astrology and natal charts.

It's funny and scenes flow naturally.

The place is also great. I hope they show us more or do an episode of the show in other locations.

Absolutely love some choices of the songs and even the instrumental part of the scenes. They are very catchy, meaningful, and helps express the scenes so much.

At first, I got worried it just focuses on the sun sign, glad that they also explored the moon sign, the natal chart, and specific placements.

I know some people doesn't like the lead actress but I actually think it's perfect.

Too tired of seeing eye candy women but instead I enjoyed watching her quirks, and funny mistakes when she interacts.

I love how her character growth and that she's learning different kinds of men by meeting all the signs one by one.

While I believe that the astrology is not entirely accurate, I hope they also explore synastry on the 2nd season.

It would be very interesting how everything unfolds.

Enthusiastic to watch season 2. Hope they make it soon.

Fabolous
mudiiiii2 November 2021
Finally a tv show related with astrology. I am very happy. I watched it in 1 day. I hope more seasons come. It's a little bit shallow. You better talk about venus, moon, mars signs and more details.

I also hope to know zodiac signs of other characters, too.

For me, Davide is absoloutly a Leo. But he is too silent for a fire sign. Maybe he has some Pisces placements.

I want to see the horoscope of this show. At what time was the first release in 27 October?

Also an empty house means nothing in astrology, you may prefer consulting a real astrologer rather than pop astrology, so you can satisfy astrology lovers.

Thanks for all your effort. I am really happy.

Very cute romantic comedy
madsim144 August 2022
I did not have much expectations for this show, but it caught me really fast and really enjoyed watching it. It is an easy soapy movie, but very very cute.

Romance at its worst
senatoramsterdam28 December 2022
It seemed like a wonderful romantic comedy in the beginning but ended like a horrible outdated soap opera. I cannot believe that it's possible in the 21st century to still produce series about mediocre males ghosting and manipulating bright females (left alone being their boss) for two seasons straight, but eventually females saying a yes to them. This is so wrong and unethical. I just hope that no young girls or boys will come across this film until they have a good idea about what healthy relationships and communications are. I really struggle to process how this script has ever been approved.

I love it because she is so lovable!
albertfeliu18 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Alice is the girl who should have found love long ago yet but she wants what she wants: a career, to be respected and appreciated for who she is. Unfortunately, she is misused by her boss, abused by lovers and berated by her mom. She confuses her desire to be liked by her coworkers by being miss dependable instead of being seen as an equal. I liked that she never gives up on her friends, but rather an inner strength starts to emerge and she steps into her own. Unfortunately, she hides her weakness to drink too much as an escape and that is sad. No one likes to see a woman drunk, no matter how old she is.

Quirky series that doens't take itself too seriously
luka-novak7828 March 2024
This is a fun short comedy series. It doesn't try to be more than it is, so it ends up being a lighthearted comedy about romance, work and relationships. Against the backdrop of astrology. It doesn't matter what you think about astrology, series doesn't lean one way or the other. It doesn't claim it's real, or even science, but it doesn't mock it either. The idea for "zodiac dating show" is just an idea that network recognizes has marketing potential and allows our heroine to produce. Characteristics of signs are just "this sign has that traits, the person that is important in this ep has those traits". Of course there is a skeptic who thinks it's all nonsense but he doesn't treat people who are into it as idiots while others don't take it too seriously either.

So if you are looking for a bit of light fun and show you can binge fast (12 half hour eps) this is the show for you.

Enjoyable and fun
dbuckshnis4 September 2023

This show was fun and enjoyable with cute characters, costumes and scripts. The chemistry between Alice and Davide is infectious and the sexual tension is well played. Wow that actor playing Davide is attractive and just WOW. Alice is great too with all her antics of drinking and carrying the show. I particularly like the Capricorn episode in Paris. The scenery is spectacular in Paris and the truth about his brother comes out - very well acted.

Astrology is always a fun topic and Tio is just a great "astrology guru" and his interactions with Alice is great and how treats his grandmother is heartwarming.

The rest of the cast is good as well, even Barbara!

I hope the series is picked up for a third season.

starts nice, ends like garbage
florencehazrat7 April 2024
Wow. This had me up in arms like no tomorrow, and not in a good way. Starts fun and even clever. I had high hopes, and enjoyed watching Alice start to establish boundaries and advance in her career. Then midway through, the plot and vibe changed, and it became to most absurd offensive parody of itself.

The main guy turns out a total douche, pulling the most immature disrespectful BS on her - and she STILL accept him back without so much as a hard talk. Subplot guy never truly grows either & Alice's parents remain as inept as at the start. Everything ties up nicely in the end which felt super rushed and like they had run out of ideas. I cannot fathom how someone cobbled this together and it passed for production. I felt cheated for having invested in the characters at all.

BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!!

Loved it
denisaiacobeanu30 April 2022
It's a nice, funny, light show with a great cast and beautiful characters. I was looking bored through Netflix tv shows and movies and this show came across. The intro captivated me and made me watch several episodes in a day. Loved it.
