Not the movie you're thinking of
First thing's first: this isn't the 2022 movie about heroic fighter pilots. This is the Italian limited series (originally titled Fedeltà) that dropped on Netflix. It’s based on a novel by Marco Missiroli, and it’s a very different kind of 'devotion.' This one is about the struggle to stay devoted to one person when your own identity feels like it's slipping away.
The 'Mid' Drama Trap
The show sits in that 6/10 territory where it’s perfectly competent but doesn't necessarily offer anything you haven't seen in a dozen other 'prestige' relationship dramas. It captures the vibe of Milanese upper-middle-class angst perfectly—lots of expensive coats, moody lighting, and meaningful stares across dinner tables.
If you’re a fan of shows like The Affair or Scenes from a Marriage, you’ll find familiar ground here. It’s a show that wants to be deeper than it actually is, often substituting slow pacing for actual character development.
Why it's on Screenwise
We include it here mostly as a 'clear the air' entry. Because the title is generic, parents often confuse it with the Glen Powell pilot movie. If you accidentally put this on for a kid who likes planes, you’re going to have a very awkward conversation about five minutes in when the husband starts eyeing his students and the wife starts lingering too long with her physical therapist. It's a reminder that 'Devotion' can mean a lot of things, and in this case, it means a TV-MA rating and a lot of crying.
