Framed! A Sicilian Murder Mystery (Incastrati) is an Italian series directed by and starring Salvatore Ficarra and Valentino Picone.
Framed! A Sicilian Murder Mystery begins its second season with this seventies tone and with these characters that are far-removed from Hollywood clichés. A different sense of humor, local, but certainly refreshing and charming, very tender.
About the Series
If you haven’t seen it, give it a fair chance because the series has a special touch, very Italian, a very made-for-TV style, and with a great sense of cinematic irony.
A retro series that finds its rhythm in this story where everything is mixed together and where almost anything goes to entertain us for a while.
A series that achieves what it sets out to do: to take us back in time, in situations, characters, setting and photographic style.
It doesn’t aim to do absolutely anything else.
It’s like going back and, suddenly, watching Starsky & Hutch again, but “Italian” style.
Happy time travel.
