Watching the TV series La Piovra today may be some pleasant surprises. Apart from the shocking news of some of the topics (see also: in Italy does not change shit ...), you'll find that once we know the writers really do. And the directors were the directors, not the fixer. Faceted characters, distinctions between good and bad, with certain limited exceptions, are always nuanced, sound bites and a plot worthy of the name. Not surprisingly The Octopus has been purchased by Americans ( The Octopus), if rare in a landscape, and fiction in Italy, which define bleak would be an understatement - fortunately today we see some turnaround, and with the entrance of Sky in the Italian market have been some tentative signs of recovery (see the various Boris and Romanzo Criminale).
addition, there are a lot of 'winks' to the viewer. Authentic 'goodies' that are good for the viewer. For one thing, we are reminded of this scene in episode 6 of season three, perhaps the climax of the episode: Corrado Cattani (played by Michele Placido in a state of grace) is talking to a corrupt politician and (guess what ') in collusion with organized crime, imbazzato as we say my part, that Professor Mattinera . These, to justify and to silence the arrogant Commissioner, comes out with an "I have been elected by the Italian people" ... Words that feel a little too often lately in the political salons of Italian TV. The ever said, does not even have time to finish the sentence that Cattani's trimming a powerful backhander! What can I say? We were in the theater, we would have applauded. It would be nice, every now and see some journalist or TV presenter to slap the political shift in the usual, tired pull when the public is now subjected daily ...?

What can you do ... You just have to mention the good Cetto Whatever the when he says: "And remember that I am the reality. You are a fiction."
