Episode 4:  The Mystery Film Club

To solve the case and save the life of his friend Angela, he must investigate the darkest side of what has always been a mystery for him: women.

Season Two

Each of the new season’s six episodes revolves around a particularly puzzling crime that calls into action Commissario Soneri, head of the investigative squad in the apparently peaceful, wellheeled Italian city of Ferrara. A gruff, uncompromising lone wolf, Soneri leads his equally individualistic team of detectives as they resolve cases that bring to the surface hidden tragedies, unspoken secrets, unhealed grudges, wounds and acts of vengeance that appear all the more startling in such an idyllic setting.

SEASON THREE

Commissario Soneri, the restless detective, has moved from provincial Ferrara to fast-paced Torino, where he joins a new squad and takes up with a new love. Then, as if his law enforcement and sentimental adventures not enough, he is chosen by fourteen year-old Immacolata, a wild, scheming, runaway girl, to be her stepfather. As always, Soneri’s sixth sense, his street smarts and his experience, not to mention his blunt, abrasive character, inevitably lead him to the truth: even when the truth behind a case proves hard to take, and involves people extremely close to him.
