@leo @cathygellis you should check out BBC iPlayer periodically. Inspector Montalbano has been on there for ages. It also has many other great shows and the documentaries, omg the documentaries are exceptionally excellent, particularly the Horizon series. Then there’s the Arena series which did a brooding celebration of T. S. Elliot last year and Ulysses by James Joyce that was a right romp. Tons of art docs too.

@leo @cathygellis As an Italian (like, born in Italy, just moved to the US!), this is awesome. So glad you can appreciate Montalbano

@leo while you're at Mhz there's also the German comedy, "The Cleaner" (or something like that). Britbox has a British remake that's good, but I like the original German...

@leo @cathygellis needless to say , the books are a good read too, plenty of food. I love it when Montalbano gets angry and looses his mind at Catarella, pr Mimi (anger meet with with the usual Italian shrug) . Comfort tv, repeat watchings rewarded :)

@leo @cathygellis Saw this earlier and thought I recognized the name & now that I've listened to TWiG it makes sense. First - great hearing you & your expertise Cathy Great addition to the show! Second, I read books 1-3 of these detective stories & they're good Easy read There is the Italian machismo aspect but aside from that good Found myself visualizing the Sicilian countryside so now I can't wait to watch Thx!
