Maria De Filippi makes no concessions (especially on culpable omissions): rating 8
In a baby blue dress, Maria De Filippi in this third episode of You’ve Got Mail is anything but a cherub. By now we are used to seeing it as a kind of prism that has as many faces and attitudes as are needed to bring each of the stories to the best possible happy ending. In a justice of the peace version, the “mask” that the presenter wears most often in her people show, almost everyone on her social networks would like her as a life advisor. While trying to remain impartial, it is the moments in which she gives in and lets her dislikes emerge towards the characters she has to try to reason with that catalyze the attention of the entire public. Faced with a listless father – to put it mildly – after having exhausted all reserves of patience, she attacks: “Your daughter is the result of your behavior and that of your wife. I doubt that at three years old she decided, spontaneously, to go and live with her grandmother when you divorced. You are the ones who sent her there.” And the man, who until that moment had been criticizing the young woman for overly “angry” reactions, perhaps realizes that he has some responsibility in this regard. Maria De Filippi knows every story in full. There has yet to be a guest on the program capable of pulling the wool over her eyes. She doesn’t give discounts. And, even so, she becomes the voice of the people.
Argentero of ice, Piedmontese education is really cold (?): vote 5
“It is really very difficult for a Piedmontese to express his feelings to his loved ones, let alone in front of the cameras!”. Luca Argentero, the only super guest of this third episode of C’è Posta per Te, turns all the Savoyards into a cliché, explaining how it is complicated for the inhabitants of his region to express what they feel. The actor is found in the broadcast in a surprise capacity. It was Arianna who called him, a daughter who wants to see her mother smile again after her father’s death. The sender’s parents were together for 47 years, until, in 2020, the man passed away due to a sudden and incurable illness. Arianna, despite living downstairs from her mother, wants to apologize to her on TV because “ours is a family of unspoken things. We have all, me first, decided to close the pain in a drawer. Talking about it, however, is good. And we should all start doing it together, you, me and my sister.” Argentero intervenes to explain how difficult it is for a Piedmontese to ask “How are you?”, even to a relative. Or, in the rare cases where it happens, answer the question with sincerity of heart. At the end of the motivational speech (which is intended to be) given by the protagonist of the successful Rai Doc series – nelle Tue Mani, one gets the impression that Piedmont is populated by icebergs who, at the sight of the sinking Titanic, would not feel anything. Will it really be that cold over there?
How bitter it is to beg for love (from a father, moreover): rating 5.5
Love doesn’t beg. Love is there or it isn’t. And the hope is that Martina will be able to understand this. The girl called the program to try to reconnect with her father Domenico. The man has lived for years in Germany, where he started a family again with his new partner Deborah, after the divorce from Martina’s mother. Martina who today breaks down in tears, asking her father for forgiveness for “too angry and aggressive” reactions that she would have had in the past. They haven’t heard or seen them “for years”, but the parent doesn’t have too many hesitations in stating: “I didn’t miss her”. Even Deborah, the new partner, shows an affection for Martina that Domenico, unfortunately, seems unable to feel. As much as it hurts to see the girl trying to beg for at least a modicum of paternal love, it is clear that here this request hits a brick wall. Already when the woman was only three years old, her father left her with her grandmother to move to Germany and, essentially, start a different life from scratch. A life in which there was no place for Martina. Then and now. Even if his beloved convinces him to open the envelope, the hope is that the paths of these two will continue to remain divided. Too much suffering is expected, and for only one of the parties involved, if this “relationship” were to continue. Or perhaps it would be better to say “start”.
The clever use of the “cliffhanger” (with an unexpected surprise): rating 7.5
One of the last stories of this third episode was certainly among the most intense. The young Francesco, an apprentice baker, was called into the program by his mother who abandoned him with his grandparents when the boy was only eight years old. The woman had given birth to him as soon as she was of age, finding herself in a situation perhaps too much older than her. Social workers therefore intervened and entrusted Francesco to his grandparents, while leaving his mother ample opportunity to visit. Possibility of visits which, however, were not enough for her. Seeing that her child couldn’t make up his mind to go and live with her, the woman stopped showing up. Today she has another little girl and she swears she has changed. Francesco, however, doesn’t trust her: he tried to patch things up with her up to four years before her, never getting a positive response or even just an answer. Understandably hurt, he closes the envelope. Even if his eyes tell us that it will almost certainly be a story destined not to end like this. And this is precisely what the superimposed writing that appears at the end says. A real “cliffhanger” which will not, however, lead to reconciliation. Francesco, in fact, will return to the studio. Not to hug his mother again, in tears, but escorted by grandmother Mimma who, although without a microphone, dreamed of meeting Maria De Filippi. He greets her and shakes her hand. This too is a happy ending.
Grandma looks for the filarino from 50 years ago, a “format” that works (?): rating 5-
Enrica and Annamaria are two lively grandmothers who remember the good old days. In particular, the loves of when they were girls. A “format” already seen at C’è Posta per Te and which, for the first time, makes its new debut in this edition. Was he missing? Not particularly. Stories like this are born to give the viewer breathing space again, between one drama and another. The risk of boring him, however, is considerable. Above all because, despite the sympathy of the two ladies, we already know how it will end even before they open their mouths. The editorial staff will have undertaken to search for namesakes of their former flames, in this case a Gianni and a Raimondo, they will introduce themselves, they will be stunned to see that there are other individuals on the loose with the same name and surname, they will not recognize the senders. Until, perhaps, a detail will awaken the memory of at least one of the gang and thus trigger the “romantic” reunion between octogenarians who were once, perhaps, in love. Good for them. At home, however, we yawn quite a bit.
Valerio, a troublemaking comrade who admits his mistakes: rating 7
He changed eleven jobs in eleven years. Now Valerio has a stable one. In the sense that it seems to be lasting. Unlike his relationship with Cosuelo which has lasted for just as long and which made him a father twice. The couple has two daughters aged five and nine, but the partner found herself having to leave the man because of too many lies. Here we are not talking about betrayals (shame!, ed.) but about the rather irresponsible way that ours has chosen to adopt to manage his life. In fact, at the first difficulty, he usually gives up his job, thus saying goodbye to his salary, with all due respect to the needs of the family he has started with Consuelo. Consuelo who, meanwhile, doesn’t have a job or even a bank account (?!). The woman charges him with crazy expenses (up to two thousand euros of online shopping) and he takes all the blame that he knows well he has. De Filippi has already convinced him to transfer the salary he now receives, in full, to his ex-partner: “I’m left with four euros a month, but that’s fine. If it helps to convince you that I have changed, this time for real.” Will the twelfth be the good one? Meanwhile, the impression is that of having one of the very few trouble-making senders truly repentant for his past shortcomings. He says he is ready to face his in-laws as well, on a war footing against him. In short, he convinced us (and it’s clear that Consuelo still loves him). For the rest, good luck!
Bulgarian audience, C’è Posta per te is the World Cup of feelings: rating 8/9
In a certain sense, we can say that the whole of Italy stops on a Saturday evening. Only the last episode of C’è Posta per Te mesmerized 4,730,000 viewers on Canale 5, boasting a share of 31.1%. How does a show, now in its twenty-seventh edition, still attract the interest of so many loyal viewers? Marian mystery. Also because the stories told during each episode are fewer and fewer. Not that it’s necessarily a bad thing, the audience has more time to get to know the protagonists and focus on the part they can empathize with. If it is true that there are those who cannot even bear the idea of it, generally they are the type of people who claim not to have a TV at home to give themselves a tone in their conversations, the great popular novel by C’Ã ¨ Posta per Te doesn’t retreat an inch in terms of popularity. Each episode, numbers in hand, attracts interest (and cheering) worthy of a world championship. This time not about football, but about feelings. Excuse me, who raised the stakes?
