It's beautifully shot always and the scenery is stunning, making those who've never been to Italy want to book a holiday there as soon as possible. If you love all things Italian (with them having some of the best scenery, food and music of any country) and love detective mystery dramas, 'Inspector Montalbano' will be right up your alley most likely. A couple of stories (like last night's "The Mud Pyramid") may not be as engrossing as most others, or have the most logical, easy-to-follow-entirely plots or the most cooked-all-the-way-through denouements, but this doesn't matter when far outweighed by the rest of the show being so good. There may be very familiar tropes, but in a way it's inevitable and doesn't detract from the enjoyment at all. Watching 'Inspector Montalbano' is, as said in my review summary and one that to me is apt, like eating a delicious Italian meal that immensely satisfies and leaves you wanting more. It is not easy breathing freshness into a well-worn genre but 'Inspector Montalbano manages to do so with aplomb. 'Inspector Montalbano' is one of the best and most entertaining examples. Love detective mystery dramas and non-English/American ones also fascinate me.
