Storyline
Featured review
Gender stereotypes
We watched it because she is Mrs Montalbano, the wife of Luca Zingaretti, but to mention this in the same breath as a Montalbano story is like comparing chalk and cheese.
What we got instead was all this heavily ladled-on gender stereotype stuff, which may just about still have some validity in southern Italy, but felt two or three decades out of date to a viewer from the English-speaking world. All these men who had difficulty with the notion of working for a female boss, the big surprise when the new manager of the police garage is a young woman, who then adds that not only only is she a qualified mechanic, but also a graduate engineer, and finally Lolita, working for a boss (il questore) who is an absolute sleazebag, and whose every other comment is blatantly sexist. She also happens to be a cop who goes to work in six-inch killer heels, which could be really useful in a difficult situation - NOT.
As for a plot - a wafer thin 'suspend disbelief' jobbie. Montalbano must have sat at home watching, and said to her "What on earth were you doing in that total train wreck?"
I'll give it a very generous 6/10, and if we decide to watch any more we will hope for better.
