Michele Placido stars as Chief Inspector Corrado Cattani, who arrives in Sicily full of resolve for the task of investigating a pair of high-profile murders. When the Mafia starts to push back, his convictions erode and he ends up compromising to save his life, and that of his family. What will prevent him from taking his own ruthless revenge against the Sicilian Mob? (official distributor synopsis)

If someone says Italian series, The Octopus automatically springs to mind first. And why not, indeed. Neither the almost indecently impoverished appearance, nor the rather plodding take-off do anything to change that. You know the deal. Of course, it takes a while before a locomotive gets up to speed, but try stopping it once it is cruising. And almost all negatives are compensated for with the “ominous" musical motif, the uncompromising screenplay and excellently written dialogs typical of the eighties.
