The Trail: Kitchy but Cool

The murder of a teenage girl calls prosecutor Elena Guerra into action. Initially she doesn't want to take the case. Her marriage is on the rocks and she needs to take action to save it. But then, she learns something that compels her to find the killer and bring him or her to justice.

Meanwhile, lawyer, Ruggero Barone, has his reasons for defending this case with everything he's got.

In case you missed it, the actor's names should have tipped you off. This is an Italian crime drama. The eight-part series is streaming on Netflix and worth watching even if it includes a few too many "coincidences" and demands a heap of suspending with disbelief.

Despite its shortcomings it will keep you riveted.
