BINGED LAST NIGHT AND CRIED 75% OF THE TIME AND CRIED AGAIN TODAY WHEN I FOUND OUT IT WAS A TRUE STORY
Yess I cried so much
@Virgo Queen - you should read the book, it was amazing! I’m excited to watch the series.❤
@@yolandadunmore104 I have been reading about Tembi and watching interviews on CZcams. I am definitely ordering the book now that I heard her and her sister talk about the changes. And how they came up with the names for the show was brilliant. They used the names of loss family members of the people who were involved in the making of this series. I am from New York City so I liked the fact that they went to New York before L.A. HER DAUGHTER PICKED HER OWN NAME FOR THE SERIES. IT HAS SOMETHING PERSONAL TO DO WITH HER FATHER.
I forget how many times I cry last night binge watching this
Me too! 😂
Zoe's acting is so generous and graceful. She taught us how to love through her subtle expressions and silence!
As a cancer survivor I cried and cried 😭 watched this in 1 night…. What a beautiful love story ❤️
Hands down the best show I watched in Netflix the cast are so fantastic wow I cried my eyes out👏👏👏
Totally AGREE
I fell in love with both characters! Cried my eyes out, and laughed with all the family dynamics. Such a beautiful love and life story❤ I want a part 2!!!
Cried my eyes out too. My kids kept entering the room and asking if I'm okay, I'll just point to the screen. Great series I've seen in a long while
The tears started flowing from EP 4. I even downloaded some of the Italian song Romano Matteo's "Concedimi" and Nyv "Per Favore". This tears gave me headache when I was done. The whole family, the friendship, the sisterhood, the marriage was just wonderfully portrayed. This was wonderful. I'm so glad Netflix didn't destroy this with their romance formula.
Italian music is beautiful and underrated, isn't it?
Thank you just downloaded the songs too on my iTunes
I cried my eyes out watching this series, I MEAN IT, I was SOBBING. It was heartwrenching, it was magnificent, it was so emotional, the family dynamics and the culture, the love of cooking and the magic he created in the kitchen. The love portrayed for his wife and child...oh my goodness. I will forever hold love stories up to this one. BRILLIANT!
Binged the entire series. I couldn't breath right during the final 3 episodes. I could imagine myself in that situation. I don't know if I could ever handle it. I was balling and heartbroken like it was me this was happening to. A thousand stars to the makers of this series. Anyone who watches and feels nothing are emotionally challenged. This storyline grips your soul and keeps you engaged in such a way that it mentally places you right there as one of the characters. This was perfection. 😊😊😊
The fact that this story was true made me cry way more than I imagined. I did not know from the start that it was a true love story
From Scratch is such a BEAUTIFUL series that exemplifies a Wonderful Love Story. It will make you laugh, cry and make your heart explode with multiple emotions. I Loved it! 💕💕💕
I loved this movie more than I can say. I haven't cried during a movie in over 20 years. That all changed with "From Scratch". It really hit a nerve (in a good way) and I bawled my eyes out. I have recommended this show to everyone I know and urged them to subscribe to Netflix just to watch it. The two leads are magnificent and share a chemistry that is incredibly compelling. Kudos to all involved. I will watch it again and again and again.
Not a movie. You bot
I remember when the book came out I was sick at home on a workday anyway I saw an interview Tembi did about her book & I had to get it. So I’m glad they were able to bring this to the screen. What’s crazy is that I’m an artist, my first kiss was by an Italian boy 😂 & I have been hooked on Italian since. I even speak some of it but slowly learning the language. I plan on going to Italy next year for the summer. I felt like this was speaking to me & although I knew the rough parts from the book would show up I didn’t expect to cry this much. I’m happy that Zoe’ was chosen for this role it was made for her & the man that played Lino did a great job too. I have watched it about 7 times already 🙈 lol it’s that good. I’m glad Tembi shared her story ❤
Absolutely INCREDIBLE love story and life story. Acting PHENOMENAL for everyone. The last time I cried this hard was watching A Walk to Remember years ago. Thank you for bringing this beautiful story to the screen. LINO LIVES ON!
Beautiful series that send you on a roller coaster ride of all human emotions that life can drop at your doorstep. The Italian sceneries make you want to pack your bags and go. It makes you realized that love is powerful and that human beings react to it the same way regardless of religion,race, country and family’s. Need a part 2.
I just finished watching this today...I can't remember the last time I cried so much. Beautiful love story.
Such a beautiful movie. Cried a lot. Didn't know anything about it but saw that Zoe was in it so it must be good. The chemistry between Zoe and Eugenio was beautiful. You felt the love. The whole cast was perfect. Zoe and Eugenio deserve some awards
Absolutely loved this! Wonderful cast and Zoe was off the charts fantastic.
I LOVE EVERYTHING ZOE HAS ACTED IN. THERE IS ONLY ONE MOVIE SHE DID THAT I REFUSE TO WATCH
@@virgoqueen8950 Well, thanks for your feedback, kindly send us a mail. You will find the email attached to my previous text reply!!
Beautiful love story! The characters are wonderfully portrayed by the actors, plus the scenery, the food and the Italian culture. It's to love, laugh and cry at the same time!
I have read the book twice and loved it and to watch it unfold on screen made me cry so much and yes Zoe was hands down perfect, I am now binge watching it too
So far this is the most awesome series I've seen on Neflix❤️❤️❤️ It is Realism, raw but magical. I truly feel the emotions and I am totally invested in the characters. Overall a FABULOUS production
Watched this in 2 days. I've never cried this much. I loved this series and enjoyed it so much.
When he dies and the moment she breaks with her sister just got me. I cried a lot. What I can say it gr8 acting I was hooked from start to finish. The Italian from her hai girl is gd.
I haven't read the book but now I want to get it. I'm curious to know how different it is from the series. Bravo to Reese for her commitment to telling great stories!
What can I say I fell in love with this show! So nostalgic and believe in the people you love. I wish this kept on going .
Beautiful ! My husband and I binged watched this series and cried our eyes out!!❤️🥲🥲🥲
My wife and I cried as well. A lot. I was tired of crying.
I binged watched it last night. From episode 5 on, I couldn't stop crying and I couldn't stop watching. I saw myself in that movie . I didn't need subtitles as I understand the Sicilian language and traditions so very well being brought up by my Sicilian parents....this was bittersweet for me.
My husband lost his battle with pancreatic cancer in January 2021, after only five months. And although the cancer was different, the duration was different, our ages are different, and number of children were different, etc. there were so many similarities. This time of year has turned out to be a very sad time as it was the same time period that my husband was battling and during the pandemic. Life can be beautiful one moment and so sad the next. As the author said, life doesn't always go as expected. Sometimes we are forced to start "From Scratch!"
It was the most beautiful, wholesome and moving series I've watched in a very long time. It left a profound mark on my heart. It was filled with decency, family values, and a lot of love. You Don't See serious like this anymore
This was a very good movie! Zoe Salander deserves an Oscar for this movie! Me and my wife cried, laughed and it was inspirational! ! Good job from from both actor and actress! Especially from Zoe Salander!!
I LOVE it....Awesome series! I cried, I laughed, I hoped, I cried! Best story of Love I have ever seen; it captured love between: man/husband and woman/wife, siblings, parent and child, in-laws, friends......and it was masterfully done. Thank you Tembi for sharing your LOVE story!!!!
The music, the art, the food, and most importantly the story everything about these episodes got me. I binge watched it one weekend .. I run out of tears 😭.. I was so drown to the characters and so many lessons here.. from scratch ❤
Omg Zoe made me cry at every episode 😭This truly is a masterpiece of a story❤️
I binge watch this last night. The best series I have seen in a long time. Great casting and emotional rollercoaster story. ❤
I love this film so very much !!! I lived in florence and bought lovely memories and also had dinner at this rest .
I was sobbing 😭😭😭😭so much !
There were many love stories. Lino and Amy. Amy and Zora. Love between groups of friends you pick up along the way. And the love story of a strong family. Family who pull together for you. Amazing. She is so lucky to have that. 🥰🥰. Beautifully done.
I cried so much....this series was so good,I loved every bit of it
I binged on this and I was a mess most of that time. I so could relate because my daughter is recovering from cancer. Cancer is a constant unwelcomed intruder. Well done to a beautiful life/love story. The actors did the story justice.
I loved the pace and how they let the story breathe and the characters grow and heal. I cried a lot, but loved it all.
Ok that was one of the most beautiful series I’ve ever watched. I loved it for so many reasons. Especially the acceptance of all through love. Thank you 💙🙌🏻❤️🩹
This series is so beautiful. I could not stop crying.❤❤❤❤❤
I am so glad many of you got together to make this real life story be shown in the best way, you feel it and live it.
It also made me realize how fortunate I was to have my husband still after a cancer battle but also validate all the emotions as a wife had gone through and bottled up because I didn't think I could breakdown infront of my husband and kids through the battle and feeling helpless through it all.
I watched this with so many pauses and I will re watch again. Thank you💛💛💛
Binged watched this twice in one week! A very moving story, was surprised to hear its a true story at that. A wonderful change from the usual violence, inane reality tv shows and lackluster mind-numbing BS we're subjected to.... the cast were perfect.....
I haven't cried this much since This Is Us.
Zoe Saldana navigated the gyration of emotions required to play this role. The family dynamics was well fitted and very needed for the situation.
Love! Love! Love! Sister Zora played by Danielle Deadwyler.
Favorite line:
Zora: "If you can smell your own funk, you are still alive!"
Lino! Yum yum yummy 😋
I ran into this on Netflix, watched it, and now I want to read the book, and find the soundtrack on CD. Hoping to purchase my own copy of it on DVD.
Wow!!! Wow!! Wow!!! I lack the words to say how wonderful and beautiful this love story is and only tears to show for the emotional journey, of love, Sadness, Joy, Family, and Life! Truly an amazing series! Thank you for sharing your life story Tembi Locke. and Zoe Saldaña, Danielle Deadwyler, Nzingha Stewart and Dennie Gordon have done an amazing job in this series!
I watched it in one day...up to now I still think about it...Zoe is the best actress for the role...Eugenio is so handsome and I can’t forget his smiling face.
This series they are beautiful I go watch again . The history of Amy and Lino is beautiful and said l cry a lot. The actors they are brilliant. And l love Florence.
That movie series made me cry it was beautiful
I watched the whole series yesterday... ooh how I cried 😢 😭.
SO RAW & REAL
I can't stop crying 😢 it makes it more sad knowing it's a true story😭🥺
I haven't seen such a touching and cute love story in a long time.
I watched whole thing in one day! And cried my eyes out!!!!! Such a great love story
Zora's character was played so well. She is funny & a sister who is always there🌼
BREATHTAKING......Such a love story......wonderful story....wonderful cast....wonderful author!!!
This show is beyond beautiful!! It's so perfect and raw, it's painfully exquisite, it's every emotion, captivating in every single actor!! ZOE is beyond magical!!
as a person who needs a love story this movie filled my ❤️
Immediately ordered the book and am reading it now. What a gift Tembi has given us❤️
This is my new fav series, i dreamed,cry all along of it, this is so powerful,
I was an emotional wreck, I cried so much, so sad and yet so beautiful!
Oh yes, it should absolutely be a template for explaining what true love looks like. I have always said that love is nothing but a word, if the one your in love with isn't in love with you. However, you can have love for someone, and it become powerful when they also have love for you......
Excellent 👌🏾can I just say..how cute was Idalia thou? 🥰
My wife and I watched it over the weekend, really good
It melt my hear. It was the most beautiful , moving, heartbreaking serie that I ever see. I couldn’t stop crying.
We need a part 2, please!
The chemistry , love between Amy and Lino was so real, so deep.
Thank you guys for this masterpiece. And you actors, you made a incredible job. Thank you for fulfilling my heart with so much love. 😭I love you ❤️
This movie made me cry a lot loved the movie I'll watch it again...i'm a cancer nation with a similar situation but I loved the acting and the movie.
I watched this in two days and omg I haven’t cried so much! I loved it so much! So beautiful 🥹💕
I loved this Series and was amazed it was a true story I never cried so much as a man and the two different families makes you realize no matter what we all love laugh cry, and even face death; was the beauty of this series; so get your tissues out especially the last three episodes
Wow ! An amazing and powerful story about love, destiny, leaps of faith, community, courage and more. I was so moved by the real life story . I binged watch the series and then got the audiobook and binged listened. I will watch this series over and over again . Thank you for making the exceptional book into an exceptional series. Please find more stories that help to tell these kinds of life stories. 🙏❤️💜💙
My most wake up call in beleiving in Feelings again, in Big and Bold emotions again… sometimes it takes a brick on the head to dare to get out of a numb tired heart… it took me this serie to realize it’s out there and with-in that I can live with colors again… may they be rainbowy or gloomy… I want all of that again…
I really enjoyed the book but this series was excellent. I cried so much. Very well done
Captivating I needed to finish this even when I wanted to avoid the end , this series just kept on giving so authentic and well done
Phew...watched it a few weeks ago and the lump in my throat is still there
Loving, moving, consuming, exhausting ...when your energy returns you want to experience it all again. Italy awaits.
Really sad , cried and cried .
Very very nice and inspirational movie, I cried during almost all the chapters👌🏾👌🏾
❤😊 all the awards - this series is Gold
I don't even know what to say, what an amazing, loving, hurtful filled with everything Love, family and beautiful story 💚💚💚.
I was even thinking if I can experience Love for such short I will die fulfilled really....
Thank you such an amazing story...🙌🏾
Just ripped my heart in two. It was like NBA action, "Fantastic".
I can't believe I slept on Zoe Saldana for many years. This was an outstanding performance! I hope she will receive an Emmy for this. Amazing cast and great production team! I cried my eyes out!
😢😢
I loved this! It was such a beautiful story. The cast was wonderful.

Will check this out today!
It took the whole day yesterday 💔💔💔💔💔 my heart is broken. A great story!
I defy anyone to watch this and not cry.So moving.
I cried my eyes out.. I love From Scratch . But there is one huge mistake done there: Matteo's Bocelli beautiful song Anime Imperfette is at the very end, during credits, when Netflix shows you adverts of next series. It should be used earlier, for example in wedding scene ..so everyone could hear it!
Awesome 💛✨
I read the book last year. It was the best book I had read in years, usually the book is better than the movie but, not in this case the movie was equally as good as the book..
Thank you Well done ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this.
Highly recommended! Heartbreaking! Love, forgiveness and family always!
What a concept, eh? Beautiful!
IT WAS A TRUE STORY
Wow! Reading all these comments about what a tear jerker this series was took me by surprise as I only got up to watching 2 episodes and found it so boring. Maybe I should give it another try?
I felt the same but episode 3 hooked me. It was a lovely story told very well. Highly recommend you give it a second chance.
@@beverlymurray8675 will do thanks for sharing x
It's such a great series! Love, love, love it! Prepare to cry a lot though.
❤How wonderful is this!?! 💗 🎥 👏
