A cynical, mockumentary-style comedy that captures the chaotic soul of Italian television, feeling like a frantic, desperate laugh in a poorly lit studio.

Easter Eggs
The three on-screen writers of 'Gli occhi del cuore' (played by Valerio Aprea, Massimo De Lorenzo, and Andrea Sartoretti) are a direct parody of the show's actual three writers.
This is a meta-referential joke. The on-screen writers are depicted as lazy, unoriginal, and prone to plagiarism, often stealing ideas from American TV shows. This is a form of self-deprecating humor from the real writers, who are satirizing their own profession and creative process within the show itself. In Season 4, after the real-life death of writer Mattia Torre, his on-screen counterpart (played by Valerio Aprea) appears as a ghost that only his fellow writers can see, serving as a poignant tribute.
