We have a beautiful detective with no affect, who goes off the reservation frequently but always solves the crime in the last five minutes. Yep cookie cutter stuff. It is entertaining and the plots are well drawn out with interesting characters and it does match Denmark's "The Killing" in mood and complexity. The main character needs to be drawn out more, driven and severe can only last for so long. I suspect we are inching towards a gradual unveiling. The series could also be better at broadening the other members of the crime team, because it seems like a one trick pony crew.

This series produced by RAI just does not make the grade. From the first episode it is clear to see that the actor playing the lead character, a female detective inspector, is unable to make the role very believable.Character development is slow and it does take some time to figure out who's who in many of the episodes. The plots are very confusing, and often leave the viewer trying to understand what the story was about, and who was the culprit. Many of the episodes leave one wondering about the efficacy of the Italian police force and their ability to solve crimes. In short, it's pure fiction! The mindlessness of it is good for those who just want a bit of escapism to pass the time. Just don't expect too much. It would appear that this is produced for the Italian domestic market but IMHO would have a hard time making it in the global market.
