Enjoyable detective series

Warning: Spoilers
Inspector Luca Manara is a long way from home in Milan and has been sent to the Tuscan countryside because of his habit of believing rules are for other cops. When he arrives at the station riding his motorcycle, he is mistaken for a messenger (he gets a lot of that). He finds he will be assisted by an old classmate—herself just transferred also—Lara Rubino, who promptly greets her new chief with a slap across the face. Yes, they have a history. At first, his new team views him with suspicion, but they come to like and respect their new chief who is an excellent detective.

Each episode presents a new case, but also tells and unfolding story of Luca and his relationships with his new team. Luca is a ladies' man and of course this leads him into trouble, especially when he "discovers" he actually may be in love with Lara. A hurdle he must deal with on two levels: accept he can be in love; and deal with the possibility he may have gotten Ginevra Rosmini, the very attractive coroner, pregnant. This series runs a fine line with comedic elements and serious mysteries; and it succeeds with both.

If you like a series with likable characters and an overarching story line that pulls characters' lives together then here is a series you will enjoy. An excellent cast makes watching this series a pleasure. No mistakes in casting here.

Currently this series can found on the MHz channel which you purchase monthly if you have a Roku.
