Signora Volpe - Acorn TV Limited Series - Where To Watch

https://www.tvinsider.com/show/signora-volpe/#trailer

“Umbria, the “green heart” of Italy, is the glorious setting for a new series of three feature-length mysteries starring Emilia Fox (Silent Witness) as international spy Sylvia Fox—or “Volpe,” because as a handsome local police captain reminds her, “Everything sounds better in Italian.” Sylvia arrives in Umbria to visit family after clashing with her colleagues at MI6, and before long, the spook becomes a snoop when her niece’s dashing but mysterious fiancé disappears on their wedding day. Naturally, Sylvia is a whiz at following clues—it helps when your toothbrush contains a secret flash drive—and she’s not bad at taking down bad guys when the situation demands.

from Acorn … Gorgeous photography …. if you can’t afford or don’t have time for a Tuscany trip. (There are only three longish episodes)

from Acorn too  – I don’t know about you, but I don’t mind the subtitles if it is engaging and well done. If I know the language it is an added bonus. – In French. There are 4 seasons that make you want more, apparently this is still very popular in France with many series already filmed. We only get the first 4 series in this country. If  you find a way to get them all let me know.

After 10 years abroad, Candice Renoir is back in the south of France and back on the case as a police commandant. Newly divorced with four kids, Candice feels rusty at work-and her skeptical colleagues don’t help. Determined to prove her so-called weaknesses are strengths, she solves complex cases with common sense, acute observations, and a practical nature honed by the life of a busy mom.

 

Watch Inspector Ricciardi, Season 1 | Prime Video
Young DCI Ricciardi investigates crimes in Naples in the 1930s. Turning his terrible secret–the curse he inherited from his mother–into a tool for navigating his most complicated cases, Inspector Ricciardi is committed only to his work. With the help of the faithful brigadier Maione and political coroner Modo, Ricciardi forsakes love in his fight for justice.
 
From Walter Presents, in Italian with English subtitles.
 
(this was not available on my regular PBS Masterpiece on Roku – it is available through Prime if you have a Masterpiece subscription — clear as mud? Some how I found this gem and there is a second season to come)
