Il Processo

I started watching The Trial (Il Processo) out of curiosity because I was born in Mantova, the city where the story takes place. 30 minutes into the first episode I actually started buying into the story and I binge-watched the remaining episodes in just two days. The plot is well written. There seem to be a few pitfalls here and there, a couple of episodes in the second half could have been avoided altogether, but I never lost interest in the story. I must give particular credit to either the montage or the director for a specific reason: there are moment in a few episodes where the camera lingers on some details that "give away" a clue to what is about to come. While some people may think that they worked out everything and they "saw it coming", I believe that the technique is used intentionally to give the viewer the feeling to be actively taking part in solving the case.

A very good watch. I don't know if there will be a second season, I doubt so, but if they'll make it I'll be happy to watch it.
