This drama, in Italian with subtitles, starts off very well. The first episode sets up an intriguing scenario, with a mysterious death and the main suspect and his family having to go into hiding.
Unfortunately the interest is not maintained. By the time we get to episodes 3, 4 and 5, almost all of the show is about the various relationships inside and outside the family, while the main story proceeds at a glacial pace. At times, you almost feel like you're watching a soap.
The acting is good, not just the two main characters but their children as well. And there's some great scenery of the Italian Dolomite mountains.
Six episodes would have been good, but fourteen?
