Watched the first season of the Italian detective series “Commissioner Richchardi” / Il Commissario Ricciardi, 2020, which is based on the novels of the writer Maurizio de Giovanni (he also wrote “Comissariat Pizzofalcone”, which is also shot a good series with Alessandro Gassman in the title role starred also popular now in Italy actor Lino Guanchale. The action takes place in the thirties in Italy, where Mussolini has already come to power with all the ensuing, but Commissioner Richchardi is not interested in politics, he has his own business - he quite successfully solves various crimes. No one knows that sometimes his special gift helps him in this – he sees the ghosts of people who died a violent death, repeating some key phrase that ultimately leads to the solving of the crime. He is also helped by his associates, Brigadier Mayone (Antonio Milo), whose son, also a policeman, died, and pathologist Modo (Enrico Ianniello), who is distinguished by extreme anti-fascism and intemperance on the tongue, which in those conditions can be deadly. Because of his strange gift, he keeps himself apart from people, communicating only with a very small circle of people and fearing close relationships, which is sometimes difficult for him, since he himself sympathizes with a girl living in the house opposite, and one former singer, whom he met as a result of the investigation into the death of her husband, clearly loves him. The only person really close to him is his nanny Rosa (Nunzia Schiano), with whom he lives and who takes care of him. There are several more characters in the film, as in all Italian films, except for the detective line, there are still dramatic lines of these characters, they have no other way, as it does not happen in life. So if anyone is interested, you can look. However, the end of the first season does not set the positive, as one woman said in the discussion of the series – everyone is unhappy. But it was renewed for a second season, so we’ll see.
