About
If you enjoy classy, character-led mysteries with a romantic Italian atmosphere, this could be a great pick, especially if you like Wallander or Agatha Christie's Marple; Not for you if you want gritty realism or fast, action-heavy cases.
Pros: stylish Italian setting; engaging lead presence; smart, adult mysteries | Cons: only three episodes; uneven plotting at times; accents may distract
