Il Processo

I really enjoyed this one and I ended up seeing it in one day. I regretted that since I was like a zombie next day. The plot is interesting, the characters too. I thought it was well written, dialogues were real and it builds up suspense.

Ignore the bad reviews. I'm fairly certain those are from viewers who watched the dubbed version. Wonderful storytelling.

This was my first Italian show. I love murder mysteries. And if its a Foreign show, I'll binge watch it, no matter what, unless its really bad. This is not your average whodunit. A 17 year Old Girl is murdered, Lady Prosecutor and the defense lawyer start off in all righteousness, but the defense start breaking the rules. This is a beautifully done show. Its pacy, characters are extremely likable and the dialog is not difficult to grab. Some of the legal procedural work can be questioned and that is the only flaw. The court proceedings give a deep insight into how Italian law functions. And I dont get the low ratings, I guess its again the lazy folks who are just too dumb to read the subtitles. Its right up there with The Killing, Trapped, etc. This is a masterpiece, go watch it.. Theres enough substance to make you fall in love with the show.

The subtitles disappear from the screen far too quickly such that for the most part I had to watch with the remote and start and stop to get the dialogue. B U T the series would easily be nine stars in my estimation if not for the difficulty with the subtitles disappearing too fast .The acting, and production values are first rate. The story which makes the main character , Elena Guerra played by Vittoria Puccini, conflicted makes for an interesting and compelling plot. #1 I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this series AND Vittoria Puccini blew me away with her acting, I have never seen so much emotion projected without even so much as a muscle twitch on her face. One simply has to watch it to understand , what I am saying and how very powerfully she comes across on the screen. It just wouldn't matter what part she played. The ending feels like it was focus grouped but I nonetheless wish I could find other series one half as good as this one. All the characters have more than one dimension which is what is so often lacking in what is currently on offer. I wouldn't miss this one.

Never seen a twist and turn like this (in American movies) in quite sometimes.
