Le piccole cose della vita

The writing! The poetry! The music! The art of the acting and mixing of it all together to a perfect musical pitch that carries you away with it and then, with that perfect pitch, rips your heart and make you weep.

This series hits all my buttons: losing my younger beloved, brilliant, kind brother to lung cancer as I view this; lost a mother too soon.

The major problems for me - and costing a star - was the age discrepancies. The Hahn character is supposed to be super young when she has Francis Rae, but the age makes the Hahn character 33 when she had her daughter. Also, to me, the mother seemed to die when she was terribly young. However, Frankie, the mother, was played brilliantly.

What I liked about this series was that while it a deep and dark, there's good comedy interwoven to keep us from getting to far in the pits. Well worth the watch!!
