Everyone will tell you that you have to watch When Oranges Fall, and everyone is right.

It's one of the best series of this year. It amazes me because it's such a slice of life series, which is not normally my personal preference, but that's exactly the beauty of it: how mundane it is. If you like intense series, this is not for you, because everything here is very soft. Their conflicts are all about being a teenager, coming of age and growing up.

It's such a delicate coming-of-age work, and I think it's beautiful that they grow up together. They develop as people, and they stay together. Life keeps going, and they still have things to figure out.

It portrays very well that moment when you have to take the step, because you aren't a kid anymore. You are an adult now, you have to make decisions and take responsibilities. A lot of people get scared of growing up, because it's such an important moment, and When Oranges Fall is about that, without being heavy, while being adorable. And everything happens in the 90s, which is so well done.

I'm not a fan of the director. I have so many critiques of New, but I can't say anything bad about When Oranges Fall, because it was a perfect work. He really put everything into it, and it worked.

I'm also amazed by the acting, especially Progress. Almond is a good actor, but he has to improve a little, because sometimes it feels like he's too shy to fully give himself to his character. Progress, on the other hand, is a shocking talent. I can say for sure that he's one of the best of his generation, and he's going to be big in the future. It's incredible to watch.

What I can highlight most is how delicately it approaches its topics, because being young is a transition moment when everything feels too raw. When you're an adult, you look back and think, "well, I was being a little bit dramatic," but the hormones and everything that happens in this phase make it so hard for us. It's a moment that molds us into the adults we become. The series develops that beautifully. I really love it. It's just that good.
