Don Matteo

As good as the first 3 series, with Terence Hill, who gets better every series. Sicilian Nino Frassica (Maresciallo Nino Cecchini) is great and Flavio Insinna from Rome (Capitano Flavio Anceschi) has a fine art of acting. They are the best characters of the series. In the fourth series, the appearance of Milena Miconi (Sindaco) is a new way of fun. Nathalie Guetta plays the dragon of Natalina very really. Francesco Scali (Pippo) is one of the best characters. The producers of Lux Vide and Rai Fiction made the best series of this this years. There is not any violence in the series, but if you want to have fun and a little bit of action, you must see it.

I am constantly amazed at the twists in this show & the very clever dialogue. A simple repeating plot, but the characters really draw you in. Nice, clean, humor & fun. You will grow to love each one.

It is just that series who you deserves. Charming, touching, full of humor and proposing one of best roles of Terence Hill who gives to Don Matteo the fair traits defining a good priest who feels his mission more complex than you expect.

Nice dialogues, good doses of tension and drama, reasonable solutions and a wise exploration of the human nature.

In short, a good series with the only basic sin of change of cast time by time , sure, in the name of good cause but transforming it in a sort of puzzle.

It is that kind of old fashion and pure italian series, charming and cool , surprising in some moments and profound honest. And this , today, is more than a precious virtue.

I just love this show but the constant change in casts & stories from season to season is difficult for me. I just finished season 10. First, it broke my heart to learn that they took Patrizia off the show. But now there will be no more Lia & Gulio. They broke up Laura & Tommaso and I'm guessing they will be gone too. 😢 It is just making me so sad but I'll keep watching when Season 11 is available.

This is a highly recommendable series about a priest who helps police to solve mysteries in the beautiful Italian village of Gubbio. The priest Don Matteo is played by Terence Hill in his usually light hearted, mocking way and his personality, with the excellent supporting actors, is what gives this series a special glint: Natalina his housekeeper (french actress Natalie Guetta) always grieving for no being married, Pippo the sacristan (Francesco Scali), Francesco Scali and Simone Montedoro as capt. Anceschi and his successor capt. Tomassi, always trying to avoid Don Matteo snoops in the police cases and especially maresciallo Cecchini (Nino Frassica), special friend of Don Matteo and who always pass him the information about cases to help him solves the mysteries. The relationship between Gubbio inhabitants is as important as the cases and provides the humour touch that makes the series so enjoyable. In the last season Gubbio has been changed to Spoleto, causing people's protest in Italy. Interesting mystery cases mixed with humor, charismatic characters and a beautiful town location. All this makes the perfect combination for a successful and non alcoholic cocktail: no sex nor violence but good vibrations and final ending morals makes this series a good entertainment for the whole family not to be missed. Undoubtedly, highly recommended.
