I was just so, so glad they didn't do the whole "speaking English with an Italian accent" bs that has been big in US television before. So good that they actually speak Italian amongst themselves on the show.

[vanderrwaals]

i know that it’s transactional but their relationship is so sweet to me. it’s so meaningful for valentina

[hlookie]

Valentina is the MVP of the show in my book! She steals every scene.

[luisai]

i love valentina so much!!!! shes literally so funny without even trying to

[whattypeofx]

my favourite scene in season 2, other than the entire shooting scene ( the most iconic scene is all tv history ), i would say is when Valentina was eating pasta she brought from home behind the hotel in some alleyway, while feeding some kittens. It's scenes like these that really explains a character without having to say anything. And it was a very cute scene amidst all the portia scenes

i hope Sabrina gets nominated for the Emmys. she's excellent as Valentina

[aroidpapa]

Sabrina is probably the most charming actress on this show, her interview with Kimmel was so sweet, she is so gorgeous and amazing. I hope this is the start of many many high profile roles for her.

[dAfoodie]

i like how they had people speaking italian instead of making them speak english! i hope they continue that for next season

*VALENTINA'S FACE!* Her facial expressions tell the entire story, she hardly has to speak!! God I love her so much!!! ❤❤❤

The Valentina story of her not being out, ready to come out was actually important and quite significant. The hope of the drink with her fellow female colleague and she was reading more into it because of what she had said to Valentina in an earlier episode, that was so deflating for Valentina when being told by her crush she was newly engaged to a man, her colleague! Much of today's tv drama is focused on those who are comfortably out. This focused on the opposite and her road to being at peace with her herself after being on her 'date'! It was handled with sensitivity but with a sparkle of humour. Brilliant.

These two don’t get enough credit. Awesome. Valentina appearance on Jimmy was endearing. So genuine. This was a fun one to watch.

[LM-chrh]

both got from the relationship something that profoundly changed their lives for the better. and although it was transactional, it seemed clear each of them truly cared for each other.

[jengaaa]

Sabrina is so amazing in this show and you can see as she talks she takes her character and her work very seriously.

Loving this 2nd season. I was a little worried that it wouldn't be as good, but I shouldn't have been. Mike White is incredibly talented. Love the entire cast, but a shout out to the Italian casting professionals who found some exceptional Italian talent. Sabrina and Beatrice are fantastic and I loved this scene. Cheers 🍸🍷

[Dee-gqvq]

love Valentina, Sabrina Impacciatore is such a good actress I will miss italy when the season ends

[FarhanahRoss]

All the actors in this series are incredible. But I feel these girls and Simona, they should've gotten much much more recognition. Such subtle and amazing performances, and the fact their characters helped each other, it's a cool partnership.

[trentkesler]

Sabrina is an iconic actress. And incredibly beautiful, reminiscent of Isabella Rossalini

[Zenobiadream]

Although everyone is saying Jennifer Coolidge stole the show, but I think Sabrina chewed every scene she was in! I loved her! The Peppa Pig scene was hilarious

[espreedupree]

I love these two characters !!! happy that this time the hotel manager survives 😂

[Zeusdattilo]

As an Italian I'm very proud of her. I didn't know that Sabrina Impacciatore is so successfull in the Usa.
I've never watched The White Lotus on italian Tvs.
She has always been a very good actress, not only a comedian, but I remember she always worked too on the screenplay of the shows she was in.
She's just not an actress but always made a good work as a scriptwriter.
I'm very happy that many people in the Usa think she's funny and good actress.
