Netflix's new show "Summertime" is a big disappointment on so many levels. While watching, the only uncertainty was which of the segments (acting, directing and screenwriting) would be the worst in the next episode. It is especially worth mentioning how catastrophically written the characters are and their mutual relations. The plot is full of holes and illogical situations that are less likely than Harry Potter. "Summertime" is particularly disappointing when it is clear that the creators had a great opportunity to discuss important ignored socio-racial issues of Italy.
One of the few things that was not catastrophic other than the beautiful beaches and natural surroundings of the small town on the Adriatic coast is the soundtrack. The combination of old Italian hits and modern pop music is very enjoyable and fits nicely into a poorly written plot.
