I'm twenty-one, currently I only watched the first season (dubbed into Italian) and I liked it. Martina Stoessel has a beautiful voice, four/five songs are stunning and there are touching moments, or that make the heart beat. Follow the story of this girl who tries to fulfill her dreams in secret is exciting, and, when she's likely to be discovered, you hold your breath. The last seven or five episodes, when the whole truth comes out, are done well. But, as far as such a story is engaging, there are some flaws. The first and foremost is that eighty episodes are too many, really too many. Several dialogues are recycled endlessly ("you have to tell the truth," "no, I can't, he wouldn't understand, but sooner or later I will"), the two/three times the truth comes out, a word game is enough to forget everything, and the fourth time that Violetta's father is likely to discover her, the only thing you can do is huff. The fight between the two boys for Violetta is exhausting for nerves because she's terribly indecisive and, even when she seems to have chosen one, she continues to upset the other, only to reject him again. Some of the characters are exaggerated and created to be ridiculous, not at all credible. Perhaps all this, however, isn't annoying for the younger, the target to which the series aims (I think up to thirteen years), but to me, often, yes. So, to conclude: an enjoyable series, with nice music, nice story and nice female lead, but that can be improved a lot. Filing defects, removing all unnecessary events and rehashing something, in thirty-five episodes it could still have been a beautiful and compelling series. More quality at the expense of quantity, please. Now I look forward to the second season on free television.
score 7/10
