Masantonio - Sezioni scomparsi

I'd so wanted to like this as the premiss seemed so interesting. A programme about a missing persons unit that had a licence to operate in unorthodox ways. This seemed so interesting. The reality was far more mundane however.

Things were going to be formulaic - they have to be in this type of series! So we had our usual pair of mismatched cops one of whom was methodical and the other intuitive. However Masantonio was so intuitive that it was impossible to work out the endings or guess why and where the particular person had disappeared and would be found.

I'd find myself watching more and more reluctantly until i gave up in episode 6.

Just one more thing. Episode two was impenetrable - the murdered person ran out of the shop meaning that for much of the time it was impossible to work out what was gong on at all. That's not a spoiler - this is the first scene.
