Feeling Zen

Last January I taped 3 hour and a half episodes of Italian detective stories called Zen based on the books by late Michael Dibdin. All the 3 episodes were filmed in location in Rome and they have managed to capture a very Italian feel, allthough the dialogue is in English riddled with delicious black humour. I am so glad I finally got around to watch this brilliant series and it feels like I have been to Italy for few nights.

The gorgeous Rufus Sewell plays the handsome but actually totally boring honest detective Aurelio Zen from Venice. He is somewhat of an anti hero and a maverick but to his credit he does get very passionate with the female lead Tania Moretti played by Italian actress Caterina Murino.



Simply the best TV series in a while and I do hope they get their finger out and do some more one day!
