Following up on yesterday’s post regarding the last you’ll see of Maigret on broadcast telly, you have your final opportunity to watch the Italian noir mystery series, Fog and Crimes, on MHz Worldview starting tonight.
Another favorite series of Euro TV fans is Fog and Crimes (Nebbie e Delitti), adapted from the bestselling crime novels by Italian author Valerio Varesi.
Set in the northern Italian region of Ferrara, Fog and Crimes revolves around the deadly goings-on along the River Po and its surrounding areas — dark and tangled mysteries with histories going back to Worl War II that the brooding, cigar-smoking Commissario Franco Soneri (Luca Barbareschi) must unravel. Less enigmatic is his relationship with the stunning Ukrainian lawyer, Angela Cornelio (Natasha Stefanenko).
Beginning this evening, viewers can watch all ten episodes that make up the first two seasons of Fog and Crimes.
