Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Lisi's farewell to television after a 50-year career spanning Fellini to Hollywood; she reportedly took the role specifically to show an older woman actively sexual rather than grandmother-coded.
The show pioneered the 'single hot mom' format for Italian primetime years before similar concepts hit US streaming, but critics dismissed it as frivolous despite solid ratings—misogyny with a side of class snobbery.
