This series is so Italian, they should call it "Inspector Marinara". Even the cops are simpatico. I love the aunt that solves all the crimes. The women are drool-worthy. The locale is Tuscany. The crimes mostly involve Italian music, art and culture. Did I mention how evocative the cinematography is? A winner!
I was offered the 2015 series through Acorn TV Subscription. Couldn't find any reason to stay thru Ep 2, as Ep 1 didn't tantalize me. Had parallel elements at casting to males and females in U. S. offerings, but not as fast on their feet with actions and dialogue. Seemed like I was wasting my time, just reading the subtitles.
After watching all popular British crime dramas on Prime I stumbled on this gem and was immediately intrigued and entertained by it. Just finished Season 1, and will now continue living a decadent and adventurous lifestyle in Italy, vicariously, through this amazing cast and production. I feel like if I watch enough of it, I may speak fluent Italian when it's over. Grazie Manara!
Ragazzi,buongiorno..:)
This is something to enjoy during late evenings when you got some trouble to sleep..Something to enjoy and do not expect too much from light series that was created not for serious film festival rewards, but for general public just to relax..
You will be surprise how good comedy Italians can create...!!:)
do not pay attention to minor inconsistencies, even illogicalities and inconsistencies in the narrative ... After all, who worries about it as one can laugh and enjoy the situations.
Very well matched actors for the main roles, that is Manara and his girlfriend Lara .. Both are former Italian models so it's no wonder they look sooo good. !!
Guido Caprino in his best years, he looks fantastic with a storm of constantly tousled curls .. :) With very strong female gaze...!! Do not know from where it comes,but is a bit disturbing.. This is what commissario Manara looks like and nothing better .. He is a really good actor, just look at how he copes with dialogues, how he interprets the text wonderfully! !!, when he collaborates with other actors on the set ... He's just great. It's a shame that you don't see him on the stage of Shakespeare's great comedies ... but he can also be Macbeth ..!well, sky is the limit..!!
Hello..!! Directors..!!!
Roberta Garrusso as Lara is a bit in the shadows .. but also shows a comic talent .. apart from that she is very beautiful and nothing else would count ... :) The other actors are also doing well .. and the inspector Toskani is a real comic gem ..!!
The character of the coroner is played by an actress with very bad teeth ala Dracula, whether he is actually a guy disguised as a woman .. it is not known .. although my guess is that he is actually a man.
. For the viewer it may be an additional attraction and own investigation :)) To sum up ... you can really have fun... and not have a grudge ... :)) And a good opportunity to practice your Italian language!!
E una buona opportunità per praticare la tua lingua italiana..!!:)).

This is a frothy bit of superficial rubbish from RAI. It's filmed in the style of a 1970s American detective show, a bit like Magnum PI or similar. It was just not engaging enough to hold attention. After a while the silliness of it all becomes annoying and not worth watching.
