- Synopsis:
Based on the bestselling series of mystery novels by Maurizio de Giovanni, 'The Bastards of Pizzofalcone' introduces a ragtag team of detectives who take over the small Pizzofalcone precinct police station in the aftermath of a scandal. Led by Inspector Giuseppe Lojacono (Alessandro Gassmann), a brilliant investigator with a checkered past, the new squad includes Lt. Francesco Romano, a loose cannon with a history of anger issues, Alessandra Alex Di Nardo (Simona Tabasco), a gun nut known colloquially as Calamity Jane, Ottavia Calabrese (Tosca D'Aquino), a computer specialist and mother of an autistic child, and special agent Marco Aragona, a brash braggart who'd be completely insufferable if he wasn't so good at his job. Together, these misfits and outcasts are thrown in the deep end as they find themselves investigating a series of high-profile murders that have the whole town talking. Set in the atmospheric southern port city of Naples and with an innovative visual style courtesy of Hollywood director Carlo Carlei (Romeo and Juliet, Fluke), 'The Bastards of Pizzofalcone' is a fast-paced, punchy and utterly enthralling set of modern Italian mysteries. - Actors:
