O Dio! Mamma mia! Or as Salvo would say, somewhat more earthily, che stronzo! The final episode wasn’t ready to watch with subtitles as RT went to press so I’ve had to view it with my rudimentary grasp of Italian. Fear not, BBC4 will have the translation ready to air by tonight but, with nothing to read, I must say I enjoyed even more the skill and good humour of the four lynchpins: Salvo, Mimi, Catarella and Fazio.
This final film is, however, about as far from a finale in style as you could imagine, with chicken-feed plots about a jealous husband and his wife, who may or may not have been accosted, and a cattle shed that’s been broken into. Devoted viewers endure these paltry offerings, and lap up the ambience, but in the light of Young Montalbano, the senior version needs to up its game radically.

BUT loving reading the books watching the repeats
Can not understand his relationship with Livia
His processes ADH,behavior also very moody
I think the series is underrated and need to invest time to enjoy
know some do not like subtitles but hey at my age
I need subtitles to watch ordinary English TV channels
