This series was one of the BEST things I have seen on TV in ages!!! Beautiful story about love, loss, dreams, defining family, family coming together to lift each other up through unimaginable challenges, getting through grief and starting over from scratch. it is just packed with so much humanity. What an unexpected gem.

my cousin died of leukemia and this movie portrayed their story. left 2 babies. so young 30 years. 😭😭😭😭😭
I saw the interview on CBS this morning. After work I sat and watched the whole series in one sitting. I was so sad. She has an amazing family. What a beautiful story.
When he says, your love is too big not to share 😭❤️
I cried so much watching this series. It was a beautiful story and all the actors did a phenomenal job. ❤️
1:39 you could literally see her come back to reality from that time in her life with her love. This was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life. I only hope to know love like this some day.

I finished watching this series last night, it was by far one of the best series in television I have ever seen. I cried the entire episode seven. I felt like I had a seat at the table watching this beautiful love story unfold. I pray to God it receives the recognition it deserves. EXCELLENT

The best limited series I've watched since Little Fires Everywhere. So good! Bravo to Zoe and the entire cast!
Awwww real life … i thought it was an old story & she’s so young. Amazing story.
From Scratch is a BEAUTIFUL series. I watched it last weekend and now I can't wait to read the book. 💕
Truly wonderful and amazing, so very glad for the book and Netflix series. I was not prepared for all the tears I cried though lol. This love story is relationship goals on a whole new level, for real.💞
I loved this movie,and I love it even more now that this is actually a true story,I am Italian and watching this movie,I know exactly how they both felt,I didn’t experience it but I know how the old fashion italians think🇮🇹🇮🇹
“He inducted me into a love that was bigger than I could see at the moment.” Damn. Better than Hallmark. And she didn’t lie about still loving her late husband. How could she not? I love that!

Beautiful! I love it too❤
I cried and cried and cried... I couldn't hold my tears with what Army and her hubby went through fighting their life... I didn't know it was a real story someone went through 😭💔 so hurting
When are people going to understand that love is just love ❤❤..love always wins.
I binge watched this today!!! At one point I had to stop it because it felt so real!! I had no idea this was a true story. Well done❤
That story was just perfect!!!! Loved it so much!! And I’m so happy Tembi stated the heart can hold both because why wouldn’t her prior husband hold a piece of heart with the life they had? It’s okay to still love him and have the capacity to love again.
This show broke my heart 😢 it is a good reminder to love your loved one more and to spend more time with them because life is short
Top tier show this and the Notebook share the same feelings I loved it. This show brought me to tears and had me thinking about my grandmother and the love I had for her till her death

It did that for me and my Beloved Mother who passed away in December of 2021. We lived together and I took care of her through a degenerative illness that caused her to lose skills monthly. I began with the palliative care at home then transitioned to hospice. People don't understand that the nurses only come out to check up and bring supplies but the loved ones do the actual care taking. I spoke to her and rubbed her arm and she took her last breaths. Needless to say that I bawled throughout this movie. It was just beautiful.... and heartbreaking.
Watched it last weekend and cried my eyes out….powerful story
It’s been 12 hours since I finished the series and I’m still crying , I wish it could get out of my head cause when I think of the moments in the series I cry I can’t stop
I just finished watching this series on Netflix. Such a Heartfelt Story ... It brought me to tears what an Amazing Love Story ♥️
Oooh , I balled watching this , and in one day . I cried for two reasons . I related to this because my husband and I found each other 7 months after I lost my dad to cancer , and I was his caregiver. My husband is a Iraq war veteran who had just left the military months before I met him and our love is so beautiful , but it came with its own set of challengers as well. However after 12 years married and 13 together , it has all been worth it. This was such a great love story to watch and relate too.

Was there ever a more beautiful love story told? I can’t think of one. Zoe and Eugenia’s chemistry is so mesmerizing I looked to see if they are a couple in real life. Nope, just incredibly talented and sensitive actors. Bravi!
I cried so much. Beautiful, but it reminded me of my brother that died of cancer. That broke my heart all over again.
I cried myself to sleep after watching episode 7 and again at episode 8. Zoe saldana performance is crazy good
Everything about this series was beautiful!!! It was absolutely breathtaking, tear jerker and so relatable to the characters! I like Reese Witherspoon’s production!
I cried sooo much watching this it was too much
Oh man this series changed my life can't believe it's a true story so much love and pain God is good
"The heart can hold both." That right there! 🔥 💜
Every time Zoe was crying, i was crying too
her sister is so wise
Crying like a baby. Watched the whole thing in one day! Ugh so good!!!!!
Her family is so amazing … i literally fell in love with the whole family .
I watched the series . Very moving and yes, as man viewing the series I must admit I teared up. Excellent story of love and finding yourself after loss.
Boy oh boy. Your sister was so right. This story must be told. I never binged watched anything but FROM SCRATCH had from the first episode. It’s a remarkable story. I cried and I get every emotion with you guys. I am most grateful that his dad came around. I love your story and I pray that life continues to be good to you. You’re blessed to find love again and I pray that your joys are immeasurable as the love form your first husband was. You didn’t do well by your sister. Like my daughter said she always gets the short end of the stick. We see she continues to give you all her love too. She’s super proud of you and will do anything. for you. Big shout out to your family and the Sicilian people.
This series was so good. I love the Boucheli song as well and that wedding scene was so beautiful with it playing in the background. I've watched the series over so many times lol
She could have pitched that book because she can clearly relate every detail because she lived it vicariously through her sister.
This show was so beautiful and just amazing!!
This was a surprisingly lovely series. I cried that man was gorgeous and so sweet. Zoey Saldana was very good in this role. But Italy was the star 🌟 too!
I’ve never cried so much 😭😭😭😭
THIS SERIES WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FROM THE ACTING TO THE STORY LINE SO AMAZING IT HAD ME CRYING SO MUCH THAT MY HEAD HURT SO BAD THIS MOVIE HIT HARD CAUSE I LOST MY MOM THIS PASS APRIL TO CANCER AND WATCHING THIS MOVIE HAD ME RE LIVING THE DAYS BEFORE MY MOM PASSED

YOU ARE GOING TO CRY SO MUCH BETWEEN THE JOY OF THEIR LOVE AND HIS ILLNESS IT WAS SO BEAUTIFULLY DONE
I cried all the way through, loved every moment
Such an amazing series !!!!! Loved every minute of it !
Just… watch it. It is beautifully and brilliantly written. If you have ever experienced a fairytale love, then you will instantly believe this is CLOSELY based on Tembi’s (Amy, played by Zoe Saldana) REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE. Tembi’s and Saro’s (Amy and Lino in the series) love is 100% relatable. A BeautiFULL memoir, indeed! I’m so glad Reese Witherspoon is bringing untold stories to the screen. I am beyond blessed to have a love like this.
Such an amazing series. Can’t wait to read the book. The guys are weird for that last question 😩 there’s space in your heart for multiple love. A lot of people have more than one soulmate. God forbid they die I hope they know their wife ain’t staying single 💀

I usually don’t go for shows or films about romance but I’m glad I watched this one. It was really good and emotional.
Absolutely wonderful ❤️ I couldn't stop crying 😢 but a must see definitely!!
Thank you for making me cry 😢
Love this series ❤️❤️❤️
I cried so much Omg
This series was good and I had a feeling it had to be based off someone's life. Their love just seemed like a once in a lifetime love reminds of me and my husband because we really just met by chance and it almost didn't happen because I only made a last minute decision to attend my friends wedding. Glad to see she found love again after such a loss. I always say I don't think I could because my husband is just so perfect for me and our love is so deep, but maybe I would.
I am crying and i still have the last episode to watch , i don't know how many times I have to pause and close it to just cry and couldn't continue to watch it the same day ,i am still crying .
I never cried so much watching a movie/series omg God bless them
Absolutely wonderful series! Loved it and cried to it!

The only person that I bumped into was Angela Bassett, believe it or not. We actually bumped into each other at a festival in Compton. I saw her arms and then her face. Surprise! We both laughed and apologized. She was gracious and simply beautiful.
