RIP Andrea Camilleri. Marvellous books, great TV and wonderful actors.

The cutting sarcasm of the pathologist is just fabulous. What a unique theatrical character!

Every actor in Inspector Montalbano is very special!! Just love everyone. Joan oldham

When I visited Sicily last year the locals were delighted that I knew about Montalbano and that I watched the show in Australia. I was given a lot of happy hugs!

One of the best written series I have ever seen ! The development of characters and the interaction between them is absolutely amazing. The stories are well constructed and get you hooked almost immediately. Nothing from America even compares.

Only just found this lovely little film. I have seen all the Montalbano episodes and of course I love them. I speak Italian, and would like to compliment whoever did the subtitles in this one. Never having seen or heard the actors out of role, that was very enjoyable. Now I need to visit the places where it was filmed - as soon as we can travel again. Bravi - bravi tutti e tutte!

Absolutely love Montalbano. A brilliant series, incredible characters, beautiful landscape and the food.......Ah Sicily

Ah yes the food, Montebano. Loves his coffee and his food.. I often wish I could share some of his meals. Loved all the series, and the typical Italian humour.

Montalbano is up there as ONE OF THE GREATEST SERIES IN TV HISTORY.Wonderful stories, script,acting,scenery,directing,all top top.Bellissimo.I am Scottish,living in London.

No me canso de ver a Montalbano aunque repitan los capítulos una y mil veces. Una gran serie policial con personajes entrañables. Felicitaciones al equipo que hace posible esta hermosa producción.

I have all of the Montalbano stories on disc, and never tire of watching them. Unlike other series, where one viewing is enough, I always find something new to enjoy each time I come back to it. Each character is perfectly cast, and the actors work so well together that they are totally believable. Apart from the superb scenery, wonderful cinematography, excellent writing and acting, what really makes it for me is the humour that permeates every episode and always seems natural and unforced. Very difficult to carry off successfully. I also have the Young Montalbano series, and thoroughly enjoy them.

I really enjoyed that . Montalbano has been my absolute favourite show for years . I love the insight it gives me into the Sicilian culture. Magnificent .

Such a wonderful programme, and so thrilled that we can get it here in the UK. Montalbano has inspired casting, brilliant direction and exceptional cinemaphotography. Many series are filmed for tv, but few have international success, and even fewer reach the pinnacle of excellence that becomes classic and timeless. Those that do, have that rare quality , in which every element comes together in sheer perfection. Montalbano is in that category. Can't wait for the next series!

Oh, how we miss Pasquano! It was lovely when the police all silently ate cannoli in his memory. His death was clearly a great shock to the cast.

Fantastic. My husband and I love watching montalbano. It's the highlight of our weekend

This wonderful series has seen us through lockdown. Every Saturday night an Indian meal from M&S, a bottle of rose cava and an episode of Montalbano. 😊 And the joy of recognising the places we went to in 2018 when we travelled round Sicily. Thank you.

Montalbano is helping me through the lockdown here in the UK, I have recently read seven of Camilleri's wonderful novels and watched the early TV episodes again on BBC iPlayer.

clnre agree Montalbano has been a ray of Sicilian Sunshine during this pandemic, hope all 14 Seasons make it onto iplayer. We visited Sicily, couple of years ago & agree about the amazing light.... would love to return one day.

An exquisite series!! I've only been watching it here in Portugal for almost two years!! What I find extremely interesting in these Montalbano series is the way story unfolds, in other words this is the everyday 's life of an ordinary Italian police commissioner in Sicilia who happens to be a very talented, experienced and intuitive guy and eventually ends up solving the crime. What I find unique is that the main character Montalbano can be seen in any police force with an ordinary life, unlike many other TV series the detective is portraied as almost a superhuman gifts and qualities that we all know are fake!! 👍👍👍

This wonderful series is shown on BBC 4 (in Italian with subtitles) in the UK and is extremely popular. (All episodes are now available on the BBC iplayer btw). In the covid lockdown we watched an episode each evening and it was a huge help and escape during those difficult times. After 36 episodes I am sad it has now ended. Young Montalbano was very good also, I am not sure why they just made two series of those. I had no idea every scene in the police station was filmed in Cinnicetta Studios! Amazing how the actors matched the station scenes from each episode to the all location filming with it flowing perfectly. Superb!

I love this serie! the acting is superb! plus I love to hear them speak Italian, !!!

Can´t get enough of this series: Montalbano is a classic.

I must visit the locations as they are to die for, such an amazing looking place, Keep up the great work guys, all of you create a fantastic world for us to be a part of

The Montalbano books are fabulous, and they have been recreated amazingly well in the television series. Quite a feat and extremely rare to find a series that is as good as the books.

my wife and i love these series . the organic unity of the place and the people -the compassion in the writing -and : the music.

It will be an unbelievably sad day when or if they stop making this programme. May God keep them safe from covid-19.

What an excellent tribute to the actors, the director, the cameramen. The series is quite the best set of films ever shown on British television. So full of humour, justice, comradeship and humanity. and of course all stemming from that great writer Camilleri. Tolerance of frailty set against an unbending search for justice. Nick Hedges

A brilliant series. The characters are believable. Our UK efforts like young sherlock holmes etc, pale into insignificance. Well done to the crew.

+Richard Salsaduende Everything you see is and be said to be so believable that apart from the odd bunter those events can and do happen as you see it in Montalbano, adding the scenery, way of life and food all too realistic, a typical way of life in those areas more or less. Sherlock , Morse etc. brilliantly made series but too drab and closed in and still with the typical way of English life, boring.

Loved Montalbano, any chance there will be more? Scottish fan ❤️

God bless Mr. Camilleri, I will cherish and enjoy Montabalno . Such a big fan from America.

I have watched this since it was first shown on BBC 4 it is enchanting. I would so love to visit the locations in Sicily.

Great TV series! The only one I watch. Many thanks for the upload. It is a pleasure to see the actors and all those behind the scenes. Greetings from London!

Watched it from the start in Ireland. Luuuve it. All the characters are amazing. Just perfection.

Montalbano is much more than a great series. I like how these interviews address the special elements that so many viewers relish!

Yes! the light makes this series so wonderful. Each episode feels so unhurried. Carefully crafted. I love it. Greetings from Australia.

We are total addicts. So well acted and produced/directed.

Hotter than hell 120 degrees skip the summers for certain I've been told, seeing Montalbano you know the scenery and cities are wonderful!!

Je suis d'origine Algérienne... j'ai un gros coup de coeur pour cette série....atypique....en raison de son décor....la mer....le ciel bleu....ces villages magnifique.....ces Villageois qui sont conservateurs... croyants.... j'adore quand on voit le commissaire nagé.....prendre sa tasse de café sur la terrasse de sa petite maison....j'adore vraiment.

Superb! I love Montalbano and all the others. The characters are so real, not just two dimensional cardboard cutouts like in many detective series where they just "shout and shoot" and it's all action and nothing else. They have genuine feelings and emotions and the actors convey that so well. You can tell they're a team who have bonded with each other over many years.

GRANDIOSO, EL TRHILLER MEJOR Y MAS CRIBLE QUE LAS DE ACCION YANKYS, MARAVILLOSOS MONTALBANOS !!! QUE CONTINUE MUCHO TIEMPO MAS.

I absolutely love this series, compulsive viewing, excellent acting and the storylines so entertaining. Impressive cast and of course Luca is addictive. Lovely man. Interesting video, thank you.

Love Montalbano! He has us eating caciocavallo cheese with Sicilian green olives, among other delicacies from the stories. Having now read all the books, I am delighted that the films are so faithful to the Camilleri texts, which is very unusual in screen adaptations of famous novels. Bravo!

This is a great relaxation to me. i stick to my sofa if i stumble it on tv. they say they have success abroad (which I agree) but they still don't have all the series in english. He is one of the coolest actors ever.

Montalbano is helping me through lockdown here in uk too. It has also inspired me into teaching myself some Italian. So glad the BBC has extended all 36 episodes on I/player for another year. What a brilliant show it is, and love the actors who have such chemistry together.

Really do love this series, especially Caterello the bumbling policeman who never gets things right. For me he steals every scene he is in.

Excellent show ,loved every episode !

El público americano los adora. Además quienes descendemos de italianos lo sentimos como algo nuestro. Nos recuerdan mucho con sus expresiones a nuestros seres más queridos que ya no tenemos junto a nosotros físicamente. Es doblemente emotivo, por la calidad espectacular de su contenido y sus actores, y la emoción de reencontrarnos, en cierta medida, con nuestros orígenes. La miraremos una y mil veces mientras podamos.

Brilliant series my favourite.

Love everything about it. A joy visually and fantastic actors. Everything fit just right which makes it such as fantastic series.

Love the series. Can't wait to see the next one.

watching Montalbano brings me away from the sadness I'm living in this weird times. I enjoy the stories and I love the Sicilian landscape.

We loved the show and still watch reruns in the UK. We went on holiday to Sicily a few years back, and stayed near Scicli where some of the show is shot, but we didn't realise that at the time. We visited Montalbanos "house" the police station and a few of the other plces shown.

Love Montalbano-- one of the best films (TV or movies) ever made!

We love you Salvo Montalbano all the way from Scotland UK xx Please make more episodes soon xxx

Love watching the series.

The scenery is as much a cast member as any of the actors. Yes, I know they only show you the most beautiful places in the southeast but I just eat it up. The singer who's work appears from time to time I just love. My favorite scene, when the parrot signs the Internationale.

Love this programme !!

A wonderful series that I never tire watching. I enjoyed the young Montalbano too. Both actors (the young and the older Montalbano) are extremely good actors and totally gorgeous! The rest of the cast is top notch too. It was a good idea that it was shown in italian with english subtitles when I was living in the UK. I thought I would improve my italian but in fact I mostly learnt swear words but it may come handy next time I go to Italy, Hahaha!
