Odio Il Natale

This is a two-season (so far) TV show of 6 episodes per season, about half-an-hour per episode.



Italian audio, with typical Netflix MultiSubs (including English) for season 1, and just English subs for season 2.



It's too early for season 2 episode ratings (season 2 finished just two days ago) but season 1

episodes were in a solid IMDB=6.6 to 6.9 range.



I have only skimmed this series so far. I think it will be an enjoyable look at romance and Christmas in Italy.

Original title: Odio Il Natale



IMDB description: Every Christmas is the same story: "and your loved one?". Determined to avoid all the awkward questions about her love life, Gianna is devising a plan to find a boyfriend to come with her to the Christmas dinner, in less than 25 days.



Apparently this is an Italian remake of the Norwegian series "Home for Christmas (2019)" that I uploaded

earlier today.



There are several very negative reviews complaining about it being a remake. The show's overall IMDB rating of 6.4 would be considerable higher if the complaining reviews were left out of the calculation. They aren't about the show; they are written by people offended on behalf of Norway's version. ???



Here is the first positive user review:



I really enjoyed the main character. She brought and empathetic charismatic field to her role and it was fun watching her date all these different guys and then realizing that her own parents weren't the couple she thought they were. I was a little disappointed at the end that we didn't get to see, the doctor and her come together it's like watching pride and prejudice and not getting to see the final romantic scene ... I did like that character and would be interested in watching additional seasons of her life as a nurse and continuing on in relationship and potential marriage and family. I'm also curious to find out what this was based off of as has been mentioned a previous series. I will need to check it out. I did very much enjoy the scenery and the Italian ambience and the English dubbing was done well not always the case.















The season 1 episodes are uniform in type, so this NFO data is representative. For season 2, there are 3 different types, so examine the NFOs for those episodes to get their details.
