    My story is very similar to this show but I thank God that I had the happy ending version of that story! My wife is American and I am Moroccan. We met and got married in less than 3 months and had our son in the very first year just to find out I had cancer after my son was only 4 months. Watching this show brings back a wave of memories of the struggle against cancer, adjusting to life in America, missing home, but also the crazy love adventure I was Fortunate to experience! You have one life, so don't you dare let fear dictate how to live, and spend it chasing your dreams without an ounce of regret!

    I love that race wasn’t the focal point in the story. It somehow always tends to be the main and only issue and point within movies. I come from a mixed cultured background, race was never my identity, culture is. I didn’t focus on race, in fact I forgot about their race and only saw everyone as normal people with similar struggles. I did focus and notices all the culture differences though. That’s how it should be more often with diverse casts.

    I did not know this story was true but half way through episode 2 I paused and did research because I had a feeling this story had to be true ......A BLACK WOMAN SPEAKING ITALIAN, THIS JUST FELT RIGHT FOR SOME REASON AND ZOE WAS PERFECT AS THE LEAD KNOWING HER BACKGROUND. I am a black woman who dated an Italian in high school and my first marriage was interracial and I know about that instant click with another culture feeling so natural. I never cried so much in my life watching a movie or series unfold and after I binge watched, the next day I watched on youtube Tembi Locke do a few interviews about her book and the making of this beautiful story. I am happy that she found love again and got married in 2020 .

Thank you for not ending the story with his death because I believe we all needed to see the beauty of everyone coming together, and excepting each other for who they were. It was a fabulous story. Thank you.

    This series deserves lots of Emmy Nominations. Original Writing, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Supporting role. Everything! and yes I'm watching this series for the 3rd time now. every time I watch I end up crying. my boyfriend is just like Lino. My family is also the same crazy and super supportive. my mother who lost her husband(my father) when she was just 35 y old. it's like I already know and have lived through the pain. if it wouldn't have been for my maternal family's support and love, we wouldn't have been alive

    Wow! I was wondering if this was a true story! It was so wonderfully written and acted out. I cried. I laughed. I stopped breathing. I was angry. I was hopeful. I prayed. Seriously! LOL! I was in prayer for the characters, and I praised God for every victory! I feel like this story teaches how to love! I especially appreciated how the wife and husband communicated their hurt and fears and love to each other. Watching this definitely caused me to appreciate my marriage relationship more. There were so many life lessons in this movie. AND when a movie can change you in a positive way, it deserves an award! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
