Season 1
Episodes
Il re del gelato
Deputy Commissioner Vanina Guarrasi and her trusted team investigate the suspicious discovery of some pills in the tubs of a famous ice cream shop, an unusual and curious fact that turns out to be the premise of a much more complex crime. Even Vanina's private life resembles a puzzle: on one side there is Manfredi, the romantic doctor who tries to make a dent in her heart. On the other, the anti-mafia magistrate Paolo Malfitano, the great love of her life, who however she seems to want to leave behind.
Sabbia nera
The black sand of Etna submerges Catania and Vanina is forced to deal with the end of her story with Paolo, while a corpse resurfaced from the past demands her attention. In an uninhabited villa, the mummified corpse of a woman is found: it is Maria Cutò, a prostitute who died fifty years earlier. Vanina discovers that Gaetano, the man she was supposed to run away with, had also been killed there, perhaps killed by the mafia. But what is the truth? Is it pure coincidence? The case had been solved quickly at the time but the policewoman discovers a terrible past.
La logica della lampara
A new case brings Vanina and Manfredi back together. It was the doctor himself who saw two suspicious men throwing a heavy suitcase soaked in blood into the sea, so Vanina will find herself investigating the murder of a girl that took place in a villa. The victim is the lawyer Lorenza Iannino, of whom no other traces can be found. The villa turns out to be owned by the lawyer Elvio Ussaro, a shady prince of the bar, but a macabre discovery will overturn the course of the investigation. Meanwhile, just when Vanina opens her heart to Manfredi, a family commitment brings her face to face with Paolo again and the unresolved issues of their relationship.
La salita dei saponari
Vanina investigates the death of a man, murdered in the airport parking lot. The victim, a sixty-year-old Cuban with American and Italian citizenship, was an entrepreneur living in Switzerland. Vanina discovers that he was a prominent member of the American mafia.

Malcolm in the Middle
In the words of They Might Be Giants' rollicking Grammy-winning theme song, "life is unfair." The inventive and wholly original sitcom Malcolm in the Middle has been honored with a Peabody Award and Emmys for directing and writing, but if life was fair, it would have earned an Emmy for Best Comedy Series, not to mention statuettes for its pitch-perfect cast. With his perpetual "yes, me worry" expression, Frankie Muniz instantly earns audience empathy as Malcolm, whose chances for a normal life are thwarted not only by his genius IQ, but also by his outrageously dysfunctional family: Lois, his obsessive, control-freak mother; Hal, his loving but ineffectual father; Francis, his eldest brother waging his own private war at military school; middle brother Reese, a delinquent savant; and Dewey, the put-upon youngest. As Malcolm observes at one point, "This family may be rude, loud and gross, and have no shame whatsoever, but with them you know where you stand."
The Ark
The Ark takes place 100 years in the future when planetary colonization missions have begun as a necessity to help secure the survival of the human race. The first of these missions on a spacecraft known as Ark One encounters a catastrophic event causing massive destruction and loss of life. With more than a year left to go before reaching their target planet, a lack of life-sustaining supplies and loss of leadership, the remaining crew must become the best versions of themselves to stay on course and survive.
Revival
Revival is set on one miraculous day in rural Wisconsin when the recently deceased suddenly rise from their graves. But this is no zombie story as the "revived" appear and act just like they once were. When local Officer and single mother Dana Cypress is unexpectedly thrown into the center of a brutal murder mystery of her own, she's left to make sense of the chaos amidst a town gripped by fear and confusion where everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect.
