    ... don't, it's fabulous.

    It's in Sicilian/Italian with English subtitles so accessible for everyone <laugh>

    Having been their all I can say is that it's totally authentic and much more realistic than English detective things.

    The attitude, the scenery, the women, etc, are all as I found it.

    The whole country is absofuckinlutely crackers but, somehow, it works and everyone pulls together.

    Give it a try, gan on.

    An excellent series, I've watched it for some years. The scenery is stunning.

    Love the sergeant, creases me.
    Also if you’ve seen them all move onto the young Montalbano, also excellent.

    First line up is the best , :emoticon-0115-inlov , and I think I have watched them all, worth watching for the location alone, its a real mood setter with a glass of red wine. <ok>

    I had a 3 day stay in Genoa in 1963, a brief encounter, and I can only be envious. <ok>
