If a slow paced laid back detective mystery isn't your thing then stay away but otherwise enjoy . Beautiful scenery with good acting and interesting stories. Emilia Fox is always a joy to watch with a good supporting cast . Some reviews say its slow and boring but i would say its very laid back but keeps you interested . Didn't see too may holes in the plots or any goofs in the series . Some subtitles but only when they speak Italian so its easy to follow .
The location in Umbria is gorgeous. She's gorgeous. And there's mystery and espionage. I only saw the first episode so the set up starts in UK. She's a spy and there's a threat she has to deal with before she goes to her niece's wedding. Fascinating how she maneuvers that one and the ensuing trouble ahead. She decides to stay...
I'm enjoying this - I don't think too deeply about what could be real and what isn't. I just watch it for pure entertainment. I think what's very funny though, is the amount of wardrobe changes that Sra. Volpe has in the first episode. Why in the world would she would bring so many changes of clothes (and shoes!) for what was probably planned as a long weekend? Just one of those things that makes you go hmmmm...
... exceptionally well done little three-part mini-series... Emilia Fox plays a top notch spy role... entire cast is excellent... with location settings that are beautiful along with production values of a very high quality... really do hope they keep this all going into the future.
At the very beginning of the episode I was skeptical of the storyline going into a Jason Bourne scenario with a main character I didn't find appealing mainly because she seemed so hot-headed. Fortunately, the show quickly progressed where the main character takes a holiday in stunning Italy to visit her niece who is about to be married. Emilia Fox's attitude softens as she visits her family but she senses something isn't quite right with the soon-to-be-groom. At this point the show became an interesting mystery. The scenery and location is spectacular, however, the peach colored diffused natural light is outdated and unnecessary (think Under the Tuscan Sun). I say give it a try to see if it's your cup of espresso.
