Those About to Die (Prime Video)
Genre: drama, historical
Not entirely Italian, considering the presence in the cast of Anthony Hopkins and many other international stars, alongside our Gabriella Pession and Alessandro Bedetti. But the workers, the crew and above all the locations of this series are made in Italy, as is the story, set in the time of imperial Rome, in the times of Vespasian, when gladiator fights and chariot races were the most followed events by the people as well as by the aristocracy.

Everything Calls for Salvation 2 (Netflix)
Another Italian series that deserves to be considered among the best of this year, even if it has been canceled by Netflix, is Everything asks for salvation. Returning just this year with a second season, the series on mental health has confirmed itself as a great Italian product capable of tackling very delicate topics with great depth and seriousness.

Deception (Netflix)
There are those who loved it and those who hated it but we must admit that Inganno, the series with Giacomo Gianniotti and Monica Guerritore was one of the biggest Italian successes of this year. A story full of passion, intrigue and feeling that glued everyone to the screen and addressed many themes including sex in adulthood, the age difference in love and prejudice against single women.

Uonderbois (Disney+)
A great surprise on the Italian serial scene was Uonderbois, the Disney+ series with Serena Rossi and Massimiliano Caiazzo which, inspired by the great adventure titles such as the Goonies and Indiana Jones, gave the Italian public a show combining magic, folklore and education. The Uonderbois are five twelve-year-old boys, united by the fervent imagination of those born and raised on the streets of Naples, and by the belief that Uonderboi, their myth, wanders around the city, a cross between the legendary figure of Munaciello and a modern Robin Hood.
