Review of Galilei Donna: Storia di tre sorelle a caccia di un mistero

This is an adventure series with a studio Ghibli meets The Da Vinci Code sort of feel. Unfortunately it never establishes a believable or consistent tone and it feels like the writers were really struggling to bring it all together, so even when they have good ideas, they were awkwardly executed. Plot stuff seems to happen not for logical reasons, but because it has to happen to wrap everything up. The first two episodes were really good... the rest did not live up to the high standards set by those early episodes. I'm not the only one that had that reaction,a lot of people on the forum said they only stuck with the show because of the strength of the first episode. I'll probably be re-watching the first episode to reflect on how strong it was.
