Thou Shalt Not Kill (2015– )
7/10
Compelling but at times preposterous crime drama
5 March 2021
My wife and I have been watching this show with the PBS app. The acting and story lines are compelling. I do have a major quibble with the program regarding police procedures. The lead character Valeria, an inspector in the Turin police, frequently behaves in an extremely unprofessional manner. She often heads out to investigate a lead or a hunch without telling any of her colleagues what she is doing or where she is going. She often ignores basic forensic protocols.

Another gripe is that the vast majority of the people portrayed are miserably unhappy. Only Valeria's brother seems to have a good marriage. Every one else is cheating on their spouse or significant other, or abusing them in some way.

Nonetheless, the positives outweigh the negatives, as far as my wife and I are concerned. We also get to see a lot of the city of Turin which we hope to visit in person once the pandemic permits.
