Signora Volpe: An Anxious Aunt (2022)
Season 1, Episode 1
6/10
An inauspicious beginning
10 May 2022
An OK establishing episode, we get to know disillusioned MI6 agent, Sylvia, who takes a vacation to attend her niece's wedding. Whilst there she becomes embroiled in solving a mystery.

As a concept, good, but the execution is poor. The first third is consumed by travel agency scene setting, the plot is linear and dull, with so many serendipitous jumps it has zero credibility.

The padding is egregious with many lingering scenery shots, constant irrelevant meal tables as exposition dumps and long discussions to establish minor plot elements.
