Mare Fuori 4: the review of the first episodes without spoilers

Now that Sea Outside has become the phenomenon that we all know, the biggest challenge for the writers will not be to keep expectations high, but to ensure that the series does not collapse on itself considering that many cast members are deciding to abandon ship to dedicate themselves to new experiences. In sight of this, Sea Outside is exploring some interesting avenues: introducing new characters capable of taking up a certain space and focusing on the past which, almost always, provides a new interpretation of the present. And so, after picking up the story where it left off in the third seasonwith that dull shot heard in the distance and a possible victim between Rosa Ricci, Don Salvatore and Carmine Di Salvo, the series, at least in the first episodes, try to focus on lighter and less dark narrative material. As the episodes continue it is clear that, in this round, Sea Outside want to play with balance, considering that often the laughter and extemporaneous jokes of characters like Beppe (Vincenzo Ferrera) and Pino (Artem) serve to balance a story that becomes increasingly dark and unpredictablegiven that in Sea Outside no one can say they are safe.

After the sensational exit of many of his characters, from Ciro (Giacomo Giorgio) to Viola (Serena De Ferrari), it is clear that the Rai Fiction series produced by Picomedia is not afraid of shocking its viewers also eliminating names that we would never have considered expendable for the economy of the story. In light of this, in Sea Outside 4 the register veers slightly on comedy despite starting from many pebbles thrown during the third season. From the impossible love between Rosa (Maria Esposito) and Carmine (Massimiliano Caiazzo)which remains the central point of the series, showing us that Romeo and Juliet have their reasons even from behind bars, to Edoardo's (Matteo Paolillo) revenge against Don Salvatore (Raiz), that is, the one who had ordered his death; also passing through the delicate and necessary theme of Cucciolo's coming out (Francesco Panarella) which manages to show the public that, in too many social contexts, homosexuality continues to be seen as something to be ashamed of.

Along with the dark path of several characters including Mimmo (Alessandro Orrei), Milos (Antonio D'Aquino), Carmela (Giovanna Sannino)director (Lucrezia Guidone) and the commander (Carmine Recano), Sea Outside 4 he also looks for a way to please everyone – both romantics and lovers of action scenes – hoping that the public doesn't miss Chiattillo (Nicolas Maupas), Naditsza (Valentina Romani), Paola (Carolina Crescentini) and all those characters who accompanied Sea Outside from the beginning and that Cristiana Farina and Maurizio Careddu they decided to do away with it partly due to the choice of the actors and partly due to script requirements. We haven't seen the ending yet, although we already know there will be a Sea Outside 5 it's a Sea Outside 6 to whom we would like to give dispassionate advice: remain as faithful as possible to the original spirit of the series without searching at all costs for the sensational twist that could risk ruining the credibility of a story that has become, unexpectedly, a cult product like we haven't seen for years.
