Season 1 Review: It’s simply not as well written — the narrative is riddled with clichés, the plot is hampered by a sagging middle third, character motivations shift on a dime — and the two leads aren’t terribly compelling. But there’s something undeniably intoxicating about the show’s enthusiastic transnationalism. ... The whole thing is elevated by the show’s commitment to both the bit and the beauty of its subject matter. When delivered with the right amount of passion, a cliché transforms into a classic.

Season 2 Review: The siblings and their struggles prove more than worth revisiting, even if the delivery device isn’t as immaculately designed. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The framing is not dissimilar to series one but the good news is that once again it’s successful, albeit with perhaps a little less dramatic intensity as the new mission opens up fresh emotional fissures in the leading pair and their circle. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Drops of God: Season 2 continues to deliver a layered, character-driven story that raises the bar from Season 1 as it blends cultures, explores complex family ties, and satisfies the senses on an even greater scale. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Tonally the series is elegant if a bit clenched at first, which mirrors Camille and Issei’s personalities. ... But in the final few scenes, a sense of release and euphoria washes over everything. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There isn’t a huge amount at stake emotionally. The leads, whose stories run in parallel before eventually interlocking, both have common-or-garden issues to resolve. They can’t commit to relationships, and wrestle with parental expectation. Not quite vin ordinaire, nor premier cru, it slips down oddly well. Read full review

Surprised this series isn't getting enough attention. Quad lingual series (French, Japanese, English, and Italian) while romanticizing wine. May get a bit exaggerated at times, probably due to its Japanese roots, but still thoroughly enjoyable. Must watch for those into wine/or getting into it.

This is a great show and it makes a pleasant change from the usual tired genres that are now the norm.

It's just a nice stroll looking at real (ish) people dealing with life's issues as they encounter them. We haven't got monsters, superheroes, villans, shoot-everything-that-moves or plastic infantile relationships but instead adult dialogue, adult scenarios and flawed human characters who don't seem like they've just rolled off the Hollywood production line for stereotypes. For once, you actually have to exercise your grey matter in order to keep track of what's happening and follow the storyline.

Now in truth, it isn't perfect. The Japanese and French characters do seem a little sterotypical at times in the cultural sense. The series also tries a bid too hard to be 'cute' from time to time and the plot is really quite implausible but that is offset by its novelty. It has also telegraphed in advance one or two of the twists in the storyline meaning they were very predictable but these criticisms are all really nit-picking.

It's also nice to see something where for once there really isn't a 'baddy' in sight (so far). I found the acting excellent.

If you like something that requires a little bit of concentration, you should give this a try.… Expand
