I am a lover of multi layered tv series and Inspector Ricciardi delivers that in spades. This is a detective series set in Naples in the 1930s. It has the supernatural in the shape of our hero who is cursed with hearing the voices of the dead, but that helps him to solve his crimes. His sidekick is an overweight police sergeant, who turns out to have a heart of gold and a great source of informants. Each episode is a stand alone mystery to be solved, but we also experience the emotional lives of our two main protagonists as they try to achieve happiness in their personal lives. This thread alone has a number of twists and turns. As might be expected from an Italian series, a lot of the female leads are beautiful.

Add to this that the series takes place in the rise of fascism in Italy, with shadowy characters never far away from the narrative.

It's a great series. Highly recommended.

The premise of this show is to take people who are considering cosmetic surgery, present avatars of themselves and show them what their proposed cosmetic surgery might look like. In order to help,them decide on their options, their avatars are sent to 50 independent people who comment on the changes. The selling point of the programme? All the participants want to improve their sexual organs. Everything, but everything, is shown in explicit detail. If you don't want to see that, steer clear. Personally, I enjoy seeing the naked body and prefer the real body of an amateur to the synthetic image of the professional, so I will continue watching this series; but to call it reality tv is misleading. It's voyeurism, plain and simple and Channel 4 are masters at it.
