I wasn't too sure at first, but after having had many happy hours of Walter Presents Policier offerings, I did a trawl due to a message from my service provider saying the Ch4 app was going offline temporarily soon. Anyways, down to it. Firstly, the production values: Spot on, they have an atmospheric quality, lighting, mood, perfect. Acting ditto, characterisations subtle and mannered, yes, our hero too, although something a bit Morse like, at times, staring, thinking.. his long suffering sergeant is a joy too, his poor wife in perpetual mourning. Our Inspector Ricciardi does remove his mac more than Columbo. His strange gift/curse is well woven into this finely crafted Italian crime drama, and the Italian women? Mamma Mia!
