While someone highlighted the 'complex' stories in the show. They wrote: "From Scratch on Netflix is an absolutely beautiful and complex love story. Not a rom com. Two people falling in love. Family bonds . Sibling bonds. Father/son drama. Wounds of divorce. Cultural differences. Anti-blackness . Illness. Navigating adoption. Accepting loss."
Guardians of the Galaxy and Avatar star Zoe has swapped space for the beautiful scenes in Florence, as she plays Amy, a fish out of water American student studying in Italy in 2000.
She meets, and eventually falls in love with, a chef named Lino while she studies art.
