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.
