In terms of quality this is one of the best 80's series ever. The only one I would put above would be Brideshead Revisited, but they cannot be compared in terms of style and purpose. I was still a kid when this showed in Portugal, so I can't say I paid much attention to the plot, all I can remember was that Cattani was always trying to protect his family from the mob. But the actors were amazing, the music unforgettable to this day. Commissario Corrado Cattani is stuck in my memory for ever, as the symbol of gorgeous Italian cool. I definitely recommend it to everyone who is not familiar with this title to rent it or buy the DVD.
