Solo

This is a very entertaining Italian series. However, there are the usual illogical plot holes that one has to wade through as the illogical sequences are there to fit the narrative. The lead actor carries a very pained expression on his face throughout the series, as if he is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. This is not as well structured or written as the series "Gomorrah", but falls somewhere between that and "Inspector Montalban"! It does show the struggle faced by cops who go undercover to infiltrate Mafia gangs. It is a better than usual low budget show that one finds on "Walter Presents" , a streaming platform that picks up second tier European shows.

Can't believe it's currently rated 6.8, that's overly generous.

I've only watched series 1 and it held my attention all the way through if you like Undercover cop shows then this really works Its weakness might be that it's localised so no international scenes but it's believable enough to keep us on the edge of our seats. Some might see a twist in the plot coming up but it certainly surprised me The Protagonist works hard with his sultry looks but the plot he carries moves along at a swift pace. His antagonist ( Fazio from Montabalno ) carries the dark side of the series with a strong performance too the only disappointment was the end leaves us hanging for season two. I don't think it needs one.

Without giving any spoilers, I'll strongly urge you to avoid watching season 2. The characters' motivations and plot makes little sense. Having said that, the first season is very enjoyable.

Not at all a fan of mafia genre, I mostly began to watch this for Marco Bocci, who is really cool. The storyline was rather gripping and soon I found myself binging the series. It's intelligently written and well acted and in total, quite satisfying even if you're not a genre fan.

Now, because of the utterly pointless rule of 500 characters, let me repeat: Not at all a fan of mafia genre, I mostly began to watch this for Marco Bocci, who is really cool. The storyline was rather gripping and soon I found myself binging the series. It's intelligently written and well acted and in total, quite satisfying even if you're not a genre fan.
