Synopsis
Petra (2020) is an Italian detective drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Maria Sole Tognazzi casts Paola Cortellesi — one of Italy's sharpest comic actors — as a former lawyer who has reinvented herself as a Flying Squad inspector in Genoa.
Petra Delicato carries two failed marriages and no interest in fitting in. Her partner, Inspector Monte (Andrea Pennacchi), is her temperamental opposite in nearly every way — which somehow makes them effective. She works her cases with the direct, biting manner of someone who decided long ago that tact is overrated, and she is usually right.
The show mixes procedural crime with dry humor and genuine warmth, set against a Genoa that looks lived-in rather than scenic. Good for anyone who wants detective fiction with an actual personality at its center. Stream Petra (2020) online on iFILM.
