The intrepid commissar keeps fighting.

One of the most popular TV series ever in Italy, La Piovra has developed a cult popularity world-wide, and now, the whole series will be made available for the first time anywhere with English sub-titles. Central character, Corrado Cattani is played by Michele Placido, and his character forms the backbone of a sprawling tale of the Mafia, one unequalled in breadth to date. The eternal values of Mafia tales are here in spades the purity of the battle against crime versus the safety of family and loved ones. Music by Riz Ortolani adds to the mood of authenticity. Production quality is very high through the series, and the cast contains some of Italy's finest actors.
