What's the Story?
ADORATION follows the lives of a group of teens in the small Italian city of Latina. Elena (Alice Lupparelli) and Vanessa (Noemi Magagnini) are best friends and polar opposites. Elena is falling behind in school and works part time as a waitress and gets in trouble for feeding the homeless. She stands in the shadow of Vanessa, the model student and pageant queen whose parents are doting and wealthy. Vanessa's envious cousin, Vera (Beatrice Puccilli), wants nothing more than to leave Latina for her estranged dad as soon as possible. After Elena doesn't show up to Vanessa's highly anticipated birthday party, detective Chiara (Barbara Chichiarelli) is put on a missing person's case that shakes up the town.
Is It Any Good?
This series might leave viewers with feelings of indifference rather than adoration. Adoration has a formulaic take on the teen mystery drama genre: betrayal, sex, and messiness. It goes through its mystery with a solid pace, but it doesn't stand out much from other shows in this genre either. Sexual content, cursing, drinking, and smoking make this suitable for older teens.
