"Commissario Guido Brunetti"
TV Series This series is set in Milan Italy and features German actor Karl Fischer as Detective Police Commissioner Guido Brunetti Its an interesting series with German articulation that's insightful into cultural nuances which are imported into the script too mainly, one scene worth noting in the current climate affecting cultural shift or drift on such matters involves a scene where Brunetti's wife (Guido brunetti is played by Karl Fischer) tells him in the kitchen area that their young daughter is now seeming to have become a woman and that he might just take note. To this he goes into the young ladys bedroom to find her involved in her school homework. He picks up her book which she is reading, notes that this shouldn't be "too hard" and the proceeds to throw himself onto her body to playfully engage in wresting for a while. that's a unique way to see how much your daughter has matured with puberty I suppose however in the cultural setting ostensibly being depicted such an idea wouldn't sell I don't believe and seems rather out of touch for the author who I believe is estranged from Italians in reality as I recently read somewhere that of the many languages her novels of this series have ben translated into, Italian still isn't one of the languages involved - which apparently is by the author's specific dictates on the matter, against allowing it to be done.
