I bastardi di Pizzofalcone (Seasons 1–4)

Commissariat Pizzofalcone (I bastardi di Pizzofalcone, 2017) is an Italian crime drama you can watch online on iFILM, based on the Neapolitan novels of Maurizio de Giovanni. After four officers from a prestigious Naples unit are caught trafficking drugs, a collection of rejects and problem cases from precincts across the city is shipped in to fill their posts at the battered Pizzofalcone station.

The man sent to lead this crew is Inspector Lojacono, played by Alessandro Gassmann — a Sicilian detective who's been unfairly branded a mob associate and exiled from his home island. His partner is Laura Piferi, played by Carolina Crescentini. Together they work the streets of one of Naples' oldest neighbourhoods, where every witness has a reason to stay quiet and the cases keep bleeding into each other.

Director Monica Vullo keeps the tone closer to character drama than action procedural. The crimes matter, but the team matters more — each misfit officer carries enough back-story to sustain a series of their own. Stream all seasons of Commissariat Pizzofalcone online on iFILM.
