Tipped off by a friend who watched last week (I made the mistake of Marple and went to sleep half way through) - I saw it this week and thought it was excellent.

I enjoyed this too. Stylish photography, cool music and nice writing with a sprinkling of humour. Good performances from the actors too.

It's nice to see a real detective character instead of yet another tough, commitmentphobic, I Work Alone, action man who uses un-pc methods but always gets results.

I cant understand why everyone apart from the "bird" is English. Its set in Rome FFS!

I quite agree. I don't mind them not trying dodgy accents, but my Italian friends complain that the characters don't even 'act' like Italians, which seems perverse seeing as the drama is inspired by a very Italian fiction series. Why not set it somewhere in England (or Scotland, seeing as it's a BBC Scotland quota job) if the Italian aspect bothers the programme makers so much? Maybe RAI should remake Taggart in Calabria!
