TV: Daniele Parisi y Mirko Valenti

La primera temporada de la serie italiana "Di4ri", producida para Netflix, se estrenó en mayo de 2022 y, en septiembre de 2023, la segunda temporada vio la luz en el servicio de streaming. El mundo anglosajón la conoció como "Di4ries" y el latinoamericano como "Agend4s". Sus protagonistas son preadolescentes y adolescentes, por lo que la forma de conducir las historias difieren drásticamente de las presentadas en otros proyectos más serios. Aunque no se dejan de lado las típicas travesuras y rebeldías de la edad, no hay personajes deglutiendo grandes cantidades de bebidas alcohólicas ni llenando sus cuerpos de pastillas, cigarrillos y polvos de toda clase, ni mucho menos arrojándose a las urgencias carnales como podría esperarse de muchachos de mayor edad.

No hay un único protagonista, sino que cada episodio se enfoca en cualquiera de los estudiantes de la escuela secundaria Galileo Galilei. El primer capítulo dura 53 minutos (para los 28 restantes la cifra rondaría la media hora) y presenta al grupo de chicos que comparte clases. Allí, los personajes centrales son Pietro (Andrea Arru) y Livia (Flavia Leone) y narran sus pensamientos e historias quebrando la cuarta pared, como si desarrollaran un videoblog sin cámaras. Luego llegaría el turno de Isabel (Sofia Nicolini), Daniele (Biagio Venditi), Monica (Federica Franzellitti), Giulio (Liam Nicolosi), Arianna (Francesca La Cava), Mirko (Pietro Sparvoli) e incluso hay un episodio, durante la segunda temporada, en la que el protagonismo es colectivo.

Todo parece risas y juegos hasta que, en el segundo episodio de la serie, Isabel se une al equipo de básquet de la escuela para acercarse al chico de quien està enamorada, el sensible Daniele; sin embargo, el muchacho decide confirmarle que no podría devolverle el sentimiento porque cree ser gay. Y en el tercero, dedicado a este personaje, el muchacho reflexiona sobre la liberación que implicó el abrirse a Isabel, que se convierte en una verdadera confidente. Un incidente con un celular (Mirko se lo roba para dárselo a Matteo debido a un accidente) desentraña la verdad sobre sus sentimientos hasta que el episodio concluye con un acto tan inesperado como deseado: Daniele besa a Mirko, acto que no parece caerle mal hasta que, debido a su insistencia, le confirma que no siente lo mismo (tal como había sucedido entre Daniele e Isabel) y decide dejar la relación en la friendzone. En un viaje a Roma, ambos se reconcilian y deciden quedar como amigos, pero la repentina aparición en el horizonte de Nico (Federico Cempella), hijo de un amigo de su padre divorciado, le da otra perspectiva sobre su situación. El muchacho, que había venido a pasar una semana, se despide de él besando sus labios.

Esa relación se lleva a cabo desde la distancia, pero la amistad entre Daniele y Mirko se fortalece cuando el primero le cumple el sueño de mostrarle una canción que ha compuesto a Tancredi, un cantante y rapero italiano (que es real; su tema "Isole" es utilizado en la apertura de la serie), que le anima a perseguir sus anhelos musicales. Al final de la primera temporada, Nico reaparece (será la última vez en la serie) para reencontrarse con Daniele, a quien acompaña en la protesta de los alumnos por el cierre de la escuela y el posterior traslado a otra.

En la segunda temporada, Daniele cela a Mirko por su amistad con la nueva compañera, Bianca (Fiamma Parente), quien lo acompaña en la tarea de componer canciones y, a cambio, ella recibe de él, por su propia experiencia, la ayuda para intentar superar un ataque de ansiedad. Sin embargo, la relación no llegará a lo que Daniele teme y, luego de un tiempo, Mirko y él tendrán una inesperada revancha de amor

La serie tiene un spin-off, "Riv4li", estrenada en 2025, en el que un nuevo elenco y una nueva historia toma la pantalla. Allí se presenta algunos personales LGBTQ, pero esa es otra historia.

Di4ri's rant

My life is currently being consumed by Di4ri on Netflix so I needed to make a post about it.

I finished season 2 yesterday and am currently rewatching season one - I am a Pietro and Isabel truther and let me tell you why:

I went into this show completely blind with no background information, not knowing what the show was about or what would happen. I just knew I had it on my list forever and it looked cute. Which it is! I love its set up and the characters are so loveable.

The only thing I didn't like was the fact that Pietro and Livia got back together at the end of season two. It honestly just seemed like character regression and I do not think they are good for each other.

One of the reasons that I like Pietro and Isa so much is the fact that they bond over a shared interest and before they're boyfriend and girlfriend they're best friends. They support each other, they know each other's strengths and weaknesses, and most importantly they hear each other out and just overall get along. Even when they don't agree on something, there's no back and forth there's no arguing, they are overall a healthy relationship.

Which is why his going back to Livia pissed me off. They are the opposite of that, they have next to nothing in common, all they have is these general ideas of each other's behavior and personalities, and the circumstances of both times they've gotten together have been less than ideal. The first time Livia was with Matteo and Pietro - even if he liked her - only went after her because of a bet, the second time Pietro was with Isabel and Livia went after him.

Even though we see the show from everyone's side we mostly see it through Pietro's POV and in my opinion, the difference between how he sees Livia and Isabel stood out to me from season one. He saw Livia as this kind of snobby good girl that he held on a pedestal and even though he saw Isa as kind of a know-it-all, throughout the show, his thoughts jumped to her when thinking of someone you admire, trust, and can depend on.

I personally saw something between Pietro and Isabel from season one episode one. His eyes naturally went to her, anytime she (or anyone else) scored a basket he ran to her. Those two were always circling each other. Anytime she's around its "I knew Isa could do this" or "classic Isabel" or something cute. It felt like a crush that you didn't even know you had - which is why it made so much sense when and how they got together in season two.

In Season Two, Livia tried to kiss him and he turned away, he wasn't even with Isa at that point either. He said that being with Isabel made him forget about Livia but now he's in the relationship and happy the feelings are suddenly back? I don't buy it. Pietro is just someone who thrives in chaos. He enjoys feeling restless, even though he hates change - he likes things happening. Being with Isa was calm, he even said it was perfect. I think that his going back to Livia and getting those conflicting feelings was him getting scared and anxious about the feelings that he had with Isabel and choosing the safe option. I also think his parents fucked up how he views love so he chose someone closer to what his parent's relationship is like but that's neither here nor there.

There were so many moments between Pietro and Isa that didn't happen with Livia. The heartbeating sound effect that was only used with Pietro and Isa, the fact that his jersey number at Marina Grande is 5 (Isabel's number) instead of 24. She's the only girl who he actually cried for in the show. They had such good chemistry the fact that Livia and Pietro ended up together after all that just drove me up a wall.

This is why I can't watch these middle school shows because I'm TOOOO invested. Should have learned my lesson with Andi Mack and HSMTMTS.

Anyways if there is no season 3 - the last episode of season 2 simply didn't happen. I've suffered enough.

Monica Piovani and Giulio Paccagnini in DI4RIES S2EP14

The feel of thé first season of di4ries is just amazing. I binge watched it and it’s feel good.

The whole series is just so fluffy you root for the characters , even those you don’t actually like.

And yeah it’s a little bit cringe (normal because it’s about young teenagers) but it’s part of the charm.

[pain-of-creation]

I can’t believe an Italian series for middle schoolers managed to make me cry for a break up I’m literally 25

Happy for the queer ship 💜 good to see queer kids growing up with representation.

Not so happy about the main het ship
