A cranky, irreverent crime procedural built around a misanthropic protagonist who solves cases in a provincial Alpine setting he despises, balancing dark subject matter with sardonic humour and the weekly reassurance of closure.

Weed smoking, foulmouthed Rocco Schiavone is an offbeat Deputy Commissioner of the State Police. For disciplinary reasons he is transferred to the Alpine town of Aosta, far from his beloved Rome. The sophisticated but cranky Roman despises the mountains, the cold, and the provincial locals as much as he disdains his superiors and their petty rules. But he loves solving crimes.
