I typically have mixed feelings when it comes to detective/crime drama's. Not so with Rocco Schiavone.
This is a wholly outstanding series in every respect.
The crime drama that is the foundation of this series, in a sense, shares centre stage with a cleverly crafted human drama, surrounding its central character, Italian inspector, Rocco Schiavone.
A complex man mourning a tragic past, who is, in turn, unable to reach for a better future. A maverick who is part of a law enforcement system but hardly fits smugly, within its narrow, linear confines.
