The early 1990s was an explosive period in Italian political history, notably for the "Clean Hands" (Mani Pulite) investigation that led to the collapse of The First Republic - Italy's first post war government. At the heart of the story are six individuals caught in the eye of the storm, which began with the arrest of the left-wing politician Mario Chiesa. As Italy struggled to put an end to large-scale political corruption, thousands of individuals from the police, mafia, public service and politics came under the microscope - some even committed suicide.

Full confession, I grew up as an American in Rome, Italy. I return every year on vacation. I generally search out every TV/Movie production I can find in the US in Italian, and they are rare, TV shows more so than movies. 1992 is about the rise of Silvio Berlusconi, a political leader in Italy who was elected twice and disgraced twice. In real life he made his money in media like Ted Turner, but his political leanings were similar to Donald Trump. And while the show depicts the year 1992 that gave rise to Silvio, he isn't shown much and appears at the fringe of the action -- for first the Italian government must fall. And for the most part the characters that inhabit this 10 part series are fictional. But a lot of the themes are real -- i.e., the "Clean Hands" movement to rid the Italian system of corruption, and the rise of the "Lega" -- the Northern League of nationalists politically. I am subjective in my liking most well produced Italian TV. If you have an affinity for Italy, and a basic understanding of the country you will also enjoy it. It's well acted and a concise drama. And it's subtitled in English.
