Petra

Weak plot, mediocre screenplay, modest acting....a total mis-hit.

Wonderful to see 'my' Genova like this. The original stories are great but the performance could be done better. VI Monte is great though.

Yes it's the first series but the two detectives are so opposite in personality I love them. It got better each episode and I can't wait for another hopefully longer series. Well done and just give it a chance.

Perfectly showcasing partnerships and very typical interactions among italians, the two protagonists Cortellesi and Pennacchi - usually great italian comedians, but here so good in a drama! - just wear their characters so naturally you suspect they're acting... themselves. Petra never tries to be a bad, embarassing copy of american crime tv series, but rather offers another option in this genre, tight to the beautiful scenario and people in Genoa (Rome as well, in last episode).

The stories of a lawyer and policewoman investigator quite hard and tough.

Episode 1 has a simple to emotionless plot, some holes in the story and characters not always at a good acting level.

Sufficient. Waiting for other episodes.
