History Series / TheSeaBeyond

** Of the main adults, Massimo is the Realist, Beppe is the Optimist, Paola is the Conflicted, Sofia is the Cynic, and Lino is the Apathetic.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The main quartet of male friends fits here again - TroubledButCute Carmine is Melancholic, naive UptownBoy Filippo is Phlegmatic, AxCrazy yet loyal Pino is Choleric, and friendly NiceGuy Gianni is Sanguine. As things go on, sadly, Gianni becomes somewhat Melancholic as he's clearly more troubled and brooding after his AccidentalMurder, Carmine becomes Eclectic as in S3 he's more sociable and playful and shows more sides to himself, Pino mellows out and becomes a rather goofy and cheerful Sanguine, and Filippo remans the calm, kind and mellow Phlegmatic.

** The main adults even fit all the possible variants. Massimo is Eclectic (well-balanced, kind, morally upright, compassionate and understanding yet strict when needed), Paola is Melancholic (initially sullen and cynical due to her tragic backstory, yet a kind, gentle and upstanding woman), Gaetano is Phlegmatic (kind, quiet, friendly and gets along with pretty much everyone), Lino is Phlegmatic Type 2 (the cynical variety as he's calm, detached, and prefers to maintain a balance among the inmates, though he later becomes more concerned with the right thing to do), Beppe is Sanguine (friendly, outgoing, optimistic in most situations and by nature an AllLovingHero), and Sofia is Choleric (temperamental, violent and strict, although honest and tries to do what's right).

* EvilRedhead: The redheaded Viola is one of the most sadistic and cruel characters, and loves to manipulate and torture people.

** The most recurring females in the beginning: Naditza is Eclectic (multifaceted, cheerful yet troubled and impulsive yet cunning and intelligent), Silvia is Sanguine (cheerful, friendly and kind), Viola is Choleric (morbidly psychopathic, cruel and manipulative), Gemma is Phlegmatic (kind, shy and insecure) and Serena is Melancholic (lonely, depressed and has addiction issues).

* AbortedArc: Sasà has one of the main storylines in season 2 [[spoiler: and the season 2 finale has him admitting guilt in court for raping a girl, after denying it for many episodes.]] And then in season 3... [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome he disappears without explanation]]. There were rumors that the character was simply dropped because the writers realized that [[spoiler: a teenage boy guilty of rape]] was too dark even for this show. According to the creators, Sasà was only supposed to appear in season 2, and his story arc was concluded, but InUniverse it's never explained why he's no longer in prison, especially after he was proven guilty.

* AnyoneCanDie: Serena, Ciro, Nina, Fabio, Gataeno, Viola and Kubra’s mother, Latifah.

** Edoardo, caught between Carmela and Teresa. Carmela is seemingly the Betty (his long-time partner, who already knows Edoardo's family, they have a baby together) while Teresa is seemingly the Veronica (a new girl, very different from him, with whom he has a secret affair). However, Carmela has a Veronica-like personality, as she's rather aggressive and has very much an attitude, while Teresa has a Betty-like personality being very kind, naive and empathetic.

** Season 1: Ciro. The main threat to the two protagonists Carmine and Filippo. On the girls's side, it's Viola, but their plot is secondary compared to the boys.

** Season 4: It's a bit more complicated than usual, but overall it's Edoardo, at least in the most important storylines (killing Rosa'a father, planning to steal Rosa's money, two-timing Carmela and Teresa). Consuelo's rapists are also this, since a huge part of the conflict in season 4 is about Consuelo, Massimo, and their son.

** Season 1: Ciro. The main threat to the two protagonists Carmine and Filippo.

** Season 3: A BigBadEnsemble of [[TheQueenpin Wanda Di Salvo]] and [[TheDon Don Salvatore Ricci]], even if these two actually work [[EvilVersusEvil against each other.]] They both want to take over Naples, and both provide most of the drama, [[spoiler: especially after their EnemyMine agreement.]]

It originally aired on [=RAI2=] in 2020; however, it became a major success when it was brought on the platform Netflix in 2022. As for now, the show counts three seasons; a fourth one is being produced.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Everyone in the prison (both inmates and prison staff) gets the spotlight at some point. Each episode focuses on one different character and includes flashbacks to their backstory. The only person outside of the prison who has got her own episode is Edoardo's wife Carmela in season 3.

* GangOfBullies: Ciro, Edoardo, Gaetano, Totò, and all the characters associated with them (including Pino in the first season). They like to bully Carmine and Filippo in season 1, and Sasà in season 2.

** Carmine, Filippo, and Gianni are genuinely kind individuals and shown to be, in different ways, well-meaning and heroic characters who are in prison just because of unfortunate circumstances. All three have a RageBreakingPoint, though.
** Among the adults, Massimo and Beppe are good-hearted {{Reasonable Authority Figure}}s.
** Among the girls, Gemma, Serena and Silvia are genuinely kind and pleasant individuals. Naditza as well, ignoring her attitude and impulsiveness. And also qualifying is Teresa, who is not an inmate but is one of the most compassionate and selfless individuals (sadly, she's also ''very'' naive).

** Carmine's surname is Di Salvo. Edoardo has a cousin named Salvo. The name of Ciro's father is Salvatore. Salvatore is also the real name of Sasà, who is OnlyKnownByHisNickname.

** Surprisingly enough, in a series like this (which focus on teenagers behaving badly, so you would expect a lof of FreudianExcuse and bad parenting), there is a good amount of decent, well-meaning, or even loving parents, who try their best but are simply unable to deal with their children's problematic behavior. Among the best examples, there are Gaetano's parents, Filippo's father (his mother too in later episodes), Serena's father, Pino's mother, Gemma's mother, Edoardo's mother, or Totò's adoptive parents.

* SympatheticMurderer: Carmine ends up in prison for killing a criminal who was raping Carmine's girlfriend Nina.

** Lino is the only corrupt adult in the prison staff, especially in season 1. He gets better in season 2, when we learn about his FreudianExcuse and he tries to help one of the inmates. In season 3, he's much more harmless.

** Sasà is another male example. He's an extremely rich student and has a relationship with the janitor's beautiful daughter Erika. Sasà's mother considers Erika a GoldDigger and doesn't want him to date her.

* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: Of the main male friends quartet, Carmine is the Realist - is very aware of the reality surrounding him in prison and knows how much life sucks, but tries to do what's right and wants to live an honest life nonetheless; Filippo is the Conflicted - a wealthy guy who's a FishOutOfWater in prison, doesn't know what to do and risks to become a criminal to survive, but is established a good guy and does what's right; Gianni is the Optimist - cheerful NiceGuy who wants to help others and, despite everything he went through, positively influences them with his optimistic attitude, and Pino is TheCynic - doesn't get along with anyone except his dog and his mother and is almost constantly angry.

** Viola is the only evil one in the group of girls, as the other girls are mostly portrayed in a sympathetic light (or AntiHero at worst). In season 3, Giulia can also count as this, though she's less monstrous than Viola.

** Edoardo, caught between Carmela and Teresa. Carmela is seemingly the Betty (his long-time partner, who already knows Edoardo's family, they have a baby together) while Teresa is seemingly the Veronica (a new girl, very different from him, with whom he has a secret affair). However, Carmela has a Veronica-like personality, as she's rather aggressive and possessive, while Teresa has a Betty-like personality being very kind, naive and empathetic.

There are rumors that the character was simply dropped because the writers realized that [[spoiler: a teenage boy guilty of rape]] was too dark even for this show (especially since Sasà looks much ''younger'' than the other protagonists), and he also didn't have any interesting dynamic or friendship with the other inmates, only with one of the guards.

* AnyoneCanDie: Serena Rizzo, Ciro Ricci, Nina, Fabio, Viola Torri.

* SelfHarm: In season 1, we see Viola cutting herself in one episode, and she also forces poor [[ExtremeDoormat Serena]] to to do the same. In season 3, Giulia is also a cutter, one of the things she has in common with Viola.
