The plot of Viola Come Il Mare 

The drama Viola Come Il Mare tells the story of journalist Viola Vitale. The latter moves to Palermo to find her father whom she has never met and is hired in the newsroom of Sicilia WebNews in the crime department.

During her first investigation, the protagonist meets Chief Inspector Francesco Demir, played by Can Yaman; and the two begin a relationship made up of professional collaboration but also of a sentimental nature. With her synesthesia and ability to understand people beyond appearances, Viola proves to be an excellent ally for Demir.

Cascade of criticism on social media: 'What rubbish', 'An act of masochism'

'They could have put the Red Door but instead, they put this in,' one social user exclaimed. Someone wrote, ironically, that after the first episode of Viola Come Il Mare, René Ferretti materialized on his couch: 'Mamma mia, that sucks.' Another user argued that watching this drama is an act of masochism: 'The surprise is not so much where it is broadcast, but where they find the desperate people willing to watch it.'

Amidst this criticism, many social users pointed out that people complain about everything: 'How heavy-handed.' Some suggested the critics not to watch the drama and ignore it: 'Stop criticizing whatever happens!'
