I started watching this series with my son and was drawn into it after 10 minutes. I was scared about the main theme at first (cancer) as I lost a few friends and my mum due to that, but there is so much more to enjoy in every episode!! All characters have something to say and to make you think about. None of them is meaningless. Friendship, resilience and life are the center of this beautiful story. I remember a few lines from each episode because they are so true and yet so simple. Some things I remember in my everyday life and I try to put into practice what "I learnt". Now I have to back and watch it for the third time... Can't resist! Enjoy!

I really love this series, and I'm grateful to have found a version with English subtitles. It's worth the effort!
This is not a drama for those looking for accuracy or plausibility in a medical situation. This series is about building community and supporting each other: the willingness to hold a hand, to give a long hug, and to not be afraid of asking for help yourself. About what you lose, but also what you gain.
Carmine Buschini as Leo anchors the show with his charisma and energy. All the cast is good, and the viewer comes to care about each one like a member of the family.
This is a series that should be watched in order. The swimming pool as a metaphor is established at the beginning and carries on throughout the series. One of the characters who appears in season 2 and 3 won't make sense for anyone who didn't watch series 1.
The music soundtrack is a big part of the series, and there are some entertaining music videos featuring the cast that are worth watching.
The creator of the series, Albert Espinosa, based it on his book The Yellow World, about what he learned from his cancer as a teen. The book is a good read that offers valuable insight into the series.
