Montalbano is up there as ONE OF THE GREATEST SERIES IN TV HISTORY.Wonderful stories, script,acting,scenery,directing,all top top.Bellissimo.I am Scottish,living in London.
The Montalbano books are fabulous, and they have been recreated amazingly well in the television series. Quite a feat and extremely rare to find a series that is as good as the books.
One of the best written series I have ever seen ! The development of characters and the interaction between them is absolutely amazing. The stories are well constructed and get you hooked almost immediately. Nothing from America even compares.
When I visited Sicily last year the locals were delighted that I knew about Montalbano and that I watched the show in Australia. I was given a lot of happy hugs!
No me canso de ver a Montalbano aunque repitan los capítulos una y mil veces. Una gran serie policial con personajes entrañables. Felicitaciones al equipo que hace posible esta hermosa producción.
I have all of the Montalbano stories on disc, and never tire of watching them. Unlike other series, where one viewing is enough, I always find something new to enjoy each time I come back to it. Each character is perfectly cast, and the actors work so well together that they are totally believable. Apart from the superb scenery, wonderful cinematography, excellent writing and acting, what really makes it for me is the humour that permeates every episode and always seems natural and unforced. Very difficult to carry off successfully. I also have the Young Montalbano series, and thoroughly enjoy them.
We absolutely love this series, The characters are whole and rounded with complex personalities which put the wooden cardboard characters of USA dramas to shame. Frankly IMO, it's a great European piece of acting and story telling (MORE BBC)
Totally hooked on Montalbano! Love the back stories that run through each episode, what a gorgeous character Salvo Montalbano is! No foul language or gratuitous violence, just enthralling mysteries and glorious scenery! Bravo!
Oh, there is quite a bit of foul language. From watching the series with subtitles, I've learnt one word and one phrase that should not be uttered in polite society.
Ah yes the food, Montebano. Loves his coffee and his food.. I often wish I could share some of his meals. Loved all the series, and the typical Italian humour.
I really enjoyed that . Montalbano has been my absolute favourite show for years . I love the insight it gives me into the Sicilian culture. Magnificent .
Such a wonderful programme, and so thrilled that we can get it here in the UK. Montalbano has inspired casting, brilliant direction and exceptional cinemaphotography. Many series are filmed for tv, but few have international success, and even fewer reach the pinnacle of excellence that becomes classic and timeless. Those that do, have that rare quality , in which every element comes together in sheer perfection. Montalbano is in that category. Can't wait for the next series!
Montalbano es lo más grande que hay. Soy fan de esta serie. Los integrantes del elenco son inigualables. Miro la serie los jueves, viernes y el domingo me levanto temprano para verlo. No me importa que pasan los capítulos repetidos. Miro todo. Los amo a todos
Montalbano is helping me through the lockdown here in the UK, I have recently read seven of Camilleri's wonderful novels and watched the early TV episodes again on BBC iPlayer.
I've watched lots of episodes on BBC iPlayer during lock down too here in the northern Scottish Highlands. I've been to Sicily once and watching the episodes of Montalbano has me wanting to return sometime in the future when possible.
clnre agree Montalbano has been a ray of Sicilian Sunshine during this pandemic, hope all 14 Seasons make it onto iplayer. We visited Sicily, couple of years ago & agree about the amazing light.... would love to return one day.
This wonderful series has seen us through lockdown. Every Saturday night an Indian meal from M&S, a bottle of rose cava and an episode of Montalbano. 😊 And the joy of recognising the places we went to in 2018 when we travelled round Sicily. Thank you.
This wonderful series is shown on BBC 4 (in Italian with subtitles) in the UK and is extremely popular. (All episodes are now available on the BBC iplayer btw). In the covid lockdown we watched an episode each evening and it was a huge help and escape during those difficult times. After 36 episodes I am sad it has now ended. Young Montalbano was very good also, I am not sure why they just made two series of those. I had no idea every scene in the police station was filmed in Cinnicetta Studios! Amazing how the actors matched the station scenes from each episode to the all location filming with it flowing perfectly. Superb!
An exquisite series!! I've only been watching it here in Portugal for almost two years!! What I find extremely interesting in these Montalbano series is the way story unfolds, in other words this is the everyday 's life of an ordinary Italian police commissioner in Sicilia who happens to be a very talented, experienced and intuitive guy and eventually ends up solving the crime. What I find unique is that the main character Montalbano can be seen in any police force with an ordinary life, unlike many other TV series the detective is portraied as almost a superhuman gifts and qualities that we all know are fake!! 👍👍👍
What a great series, convincing characters with a sense of humour that’s so lacking in almost anything coming from American T.V. Series now, unlike 20/30 years ago when they made better quality product.
How or where on which channel do you watch it? So far every episode is only available by amazon.com etc. on youtube can't find it anymore, before in 2019 yes but all is to be seen by abonnement payment?
Montalbano is so damn good, i love the main stories & i love the unrelated stories that they merge with the main stories, such a great show, oh & the locations are just heaven, i have to learn Italian just so that i can really enjoy montalbano as i feel the English subtitles do not do it justice. I must visit the locations as they are to die for, such an amazing looking place, Keep up the great work guys, all of you create a fantastic world for us to be a part of
What an excellent tribute to the actors, the director, the cameramen. The series is quite the best set of films ever shown on British television. So full of humour, justice, comradeship and humanity. and of course all stemming from that great writer Camilleri. Tolerance of frailty set against an unbending search for justice. Nick Hedges
,,,,WE LOVE COMISSARIO MONTALBANO--HERE-IN ENGLAND-AS WELL!!!!!!!! AT THE END OF THE WEEK-----HURRAY!!!!---IM-OFF-TO LEARN PERFECT ITALIAN!!!!!!--AND SEE THOSE MASTERPIESE--MONTALBANO SONO,,,,!!!
Siempre la vemos con mamá, es nuestra serie favorita, tiene acción, bellos paisajes, catarella es muy divertido, no morimos de risa cada vez q aparece, todos son buenísimos actores, me encanta!!!
+Richard Salsaduende Everything you see is and be said to be so believable that apart from the odd bunter those events can and do happen as you see it in Montalbano, adding the scenery, way of life and food all too realistic, a typical way of life in those areas more or less. Sherlock , Morse etc. brilliantly made series but too drab and closed in and still with the typical way of English life, boring.
I don't know, i love Montalbano but i also love the Sherlock series... i find it very brilliant for the way it reinterpretates the characters and the stories from Conan Doyle.
Bravo Bravo Bravo... a joy . Catarella..."I have a cousin who finds things before they are lost" --summarises all the joyful scripts and the tremendous acting of all...
Montalbano is my guilty pleasure but the BBC has missed so many series, I have been trying to get the DVD's of the series. Luca Zingaretti is brilliant in the role.
Christina Silby Same here.. I have up to collection 6 and as you may know already? I just discovered collection 7 and 8 are available.. 7 is £9.99 and the normal two disc 4 episode set up.... but 8 is only 1 disc 2 episodes as far as I can tell... and £14.99... Amazon.. My birthday soon so I treated myself.. why not indeed, where is the harm? I only purchased Collection 7 for now.. It's annoying they keep changing who plays Livia. Waiting for more Young Montalbano now too.. very good series.. Catarella amazingly funny.. very good actor, like all of them.. Bang!! "sorry the door slipped".. Grrr….
Je suis d'origine Algérienne... j'ai un gros coup de coeur pour cette série....atypique....en raison de son décor....la mer....le ciel bleu....ces villages magnifique.....ces Villageois qui sont conservateurs... croyants.... j'adore quand on voit le commissaire nagé.....prendre sa tasse de café sur la terrasse de sa petite maison....j'adore vraiment.
I'm so loving it, I'm second generation Italian and don't speak Italian very well so the subtitle's are excellent. also takes me back to my childhood to see my nonno and nonna, brilliant brilliant brilliant.. :-)
Very good, loved all the episodes I saw and got in love with Sicily !!! Mile grazie !!!! Bravo ! Because of Montalbano I started to refresh my knowledge of Italian language !!!
The only thing that really gets me is here in the U.K we got to see the first 2 series then nothing...The BBC won't commit themselves & tell us If or when we will get to see anymore...They've recently shown a series of the Young Montalbano but it's not the same...We Need to see the Original a.s.a.p
Когда в моей жизни случается черная полоса, я смотрю этот сериал и постепенно всё плохое уходит!Огромное спасибо всем ,кто его создал и замечательным актерам,которые в нем снимались! ❤
El público americano los adora. Además quienes descendemos de italianos lo sentimos como algo nuestro. Nos recuerdan mucho con sus expresiones a nuestros seres más queridos que ya no tenemos junto a nosotros físicamente. Es doblemente emotivo, por la calidad espectacular de su contenido y sus actores, y la emoción de reencontrarnos, en cierta medida, con nuestros orígenes. La miraremos una y mil veces mientras podamos.
Great TV series! The only one I watch. Many thanks for the upload. It is a pleasure to see the actors and all those behind the scenes. Greetings from London!
Montalbano is helping me through lockdown here in uk too. It has also inspired me into teaching myself some Italian. So glad the BBC has extended all 36 episodes on I/player for another year. What a brilliant show it is, and love the actors who have such chemistry together.
I absolutely love this series, compulsive viewing, excellent acting and the storylines so entertaining. Impressive cast and of course Luca is addictive. Lovely man. Interesting video, thank you.
I'm South African and have read all of Andrea Camilleri's books. I eventually found some of the films by searching the net. Unfortunately, I don't understand Italian so have to find episodes with English captions. I absolutely love them. Great acting. ❤
Love Montalbano! He has us eating caciocavallo cheese with Sicilian green olives, among other delicacies from the stories. Having now read all the books, I am delighted that the films are so faithful to the Camilleri texts, which is very unusual in screen adaptations of famous novels. Bravo!
We loved the show and still watch reruns in the UK. We went on holiday to Sicily a few years back, and stayed near Scicli where some of the show is shot, but we didn't realise that at the time. We visited Montalbanos "house" the police station and a few of the other plces shown.
This is a great relaxation to me. i stick to my sofa if i stumble it on tv. they say they have success abroad (which I agree) but they still don't have all the series in english. He is one of the coolest actors ever.
iddqds In the U.S., MHz Networks has released all 26 DETECTIVE MONTALBANO movies with English subtitles on DVD, available here shop.mhznetworks.org/DVD-Detective-Montalbano-c-304/
Superb! I love Montalbano and all the others. The characters are so real, not just two dimensional cardboard cutouts like in many detective series where they just "shout and shoot" and it's all action and nothing else. They have genuine feelings and emotions and the actors convey that so well. You can tell they're a team who have bonded with each other over many years.
The scenery is as much a cast member as any of the actors. Yes, I know they only show you the most beautiful places in the southeast but I just eat it up. The singer who's work appears from time to time I just love. My favorite scene, when the parrot signs the Internationale.
Una Serie brillante, que todo al que le gusta las series policiales puede apreciar, un logro, felicito a sus autores y a los personajes que le dan vida a este COMISARIO MONTALVANO Saludos desde Argentina
I enjoy watching the show, My father came from Sicily, so I enjoy seeing the little they show of it, I have been to Italy but I missed going to Sicilia.
A wonderful series that I never tire watching. I enjoyed the young Montalbano too. Both actors (the young and the older Montalbano) are extremely good actors and totally gorgeous! The rest of the cast is top notch too. It was a good idea that it was shown in italian with english subtitles when I was living in the UK. I thought I would improve my italian but in fact I mostly learnt swear words but it may come handy next time I go to Italy, Hahaha!
Allessandra My husband and I love everything about the series.The acting is the best I have seen a series of this type.Must say Luca is perfect in the role.Has kept us going in this difficult time.
Desde Uruguay, nunca dejo de ver Montalbano, es absolutamente fantastico, no me lo pierdo nunca!!!! Todos maravillosos actores y por supuesto Zingaretti increible, esplendido actor!! No olvido la creacion de Cammilleri. Tengo todos sus libros!!!!!!! FELICITACIONES!!!!!!
Here in Santa Fe, the public library has about 25 Camilleri books, a couple in Spanish. They also have some of the films, which, given that they are in Italian, is remarkable. I love the books, and the movies are remarkably well done. My relatives in Italy have now actually visited Sicily, something they would have never done before Montalbano. They used to have nothing good to say about Sicily. So the books have sparked tourism not just from Europe and America, but from Italy itself. Part of this is because the conservativism of Sicily, once reviled, is now admired. The Sicilians have held on to some of the better, older Italian values--its earthiness and its humanity.
I read several of Camilleri's books before the series was shown on BBC4 and was not disappointed with the TV series which are fairly loyal to the novels. Camilleri's concentrates on the characters and these are brought to life in the films. However, the real winner is these adaptations is Sicily which is a beautiful island, steeped in history. I urge anybody who has never visited to go - you wont be disappointed.
Adoro a Montalbano. veo sus capitulos una y otra vez. Sus personajes son tan queribles, que ya los considero mi familia.Lloré cuando falleció el doctor Pasquano.
Hola , a todos desde aqui , R . Argentina , es un verdadero placer los dias domingo , cuando son las 2000 hs ,sentarse a no perder detalle del episodio, escrito por un maestro de la pluma, las interpretaciones de todos los actores , Luca tiene placer por todo lo que hace en el personaje, el comer , el beber el cafe , sus gestos al degustar los platos que le sirven en la cantina al lado del mar, las ubicaciones de las escenas , hacen de todo el conjunto un placer muy recomendable para mirar. Salu2. y muchas gracias a todos los que realizan el comisario MONTALBANO . Miguel.
Montalbano is up there as ONE OF THE GREATEST SERIES IN TV HISTORY.Wonderful stories, script,acting,scenery,directing,all top top.Bellissimo.I am Scottish,living in London.
RIP Andrea Camilleri. Marvellous books, great TV and wonderful actors.
The Montalbano books are fabulous, and they have been recreated amazingly well in the television series. Quite a feat and extremely rare to find a series that is as good as the books.
Every actor in Inspector Montalbano is very special!! Just love everyone. Joan oldham

Yo tampoco me canso. Es una serie maravillosa y única.
The cutting sarcasm of the pathologist is just fabulous. What a unique theatrical character!
He was a relevant artist who mainly acted on stage...

Fantastic. My husband and I love watching montalbano. It's the highlight of our weekend
It will be an unbelievably sad day when or if they stop making this programme. May God keep them safe from covid-19.
Indeed
Fabulous series, love the actors - yet to see anything from America that is half as good.
There are far too many to mention. Unless you've seen all that is available, you can't make a judgement like that.
@@MTMF.london Really? Far too many? The only TV show that comes to my mind as being on the same level is Columbo.
@@MTMF.london Breaking Bad was also great.
100% agree. American tv is smut, irreverent, disconnected community, Gratuitous violence. Montalbano has so much more to offer
An exquisite series!! I've only been watching it here in Portugal for almost two years!!

I look for it every Saturday on BBC4 but only there irregularly. Such a pity and NO ads!!

From the UK - a treat, relished since it appeared on BBC TV. Engaging stories, characters, locations...it has
them all. Grazie to all concerned!
A brilliant series. The characters are believable. Our UK efforts like young sherlock holmes etc, pale into insignificance. Well done to the crew.

Sisi tutti meravigliosiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!! Bravissimo 🇮🇹♥️🇮🇹🇮🇹♥️♥️🇮🇹
Una serie que te engancha... sus personajes geniales, las historias llenas de incertidumbre, un suspenso lento y cautivador. La disfruto mucho!!!!
Ademas la musica y ni hablar de los paisajes y edificaciones que se pierden en el tiempo
Oh, how we miss Pasquano! It was lovely when the police all silently ate cannoli in his memory. His death was clearly a great shock to the cast.
This is brilliant behind the scenes, love love love this show lucky its shown on BBC IPlayer in Uk
Box set from Acorn Media in the UK with English subs.

This series is going to make me learn Italian.....that's how much I love it. I'm even following Luca on Instagram!
Just started watching this and the Young Montalbano, both great.
Young Montalbano casting is great too. They try to imagine the characters as while they were young and unformed but not an imitation of the originals.
My favourite show on television. Marvellous actors great story lines, wonderful scenery.
Montalbano is my guilty pleasure but the BBC has missed so many series, I have been trying to get the DVD's of the series. Luca Zingaretti is brilliant in the role.

God bless Mr. Camilleri, I will cherish and enjoy Montabalno . Such a big fan from America.
Watched it from the start in Ireland. Luuuve it. All the characters are amazing. Just perfection.
I just discovered this show, I cannot stop watching it, this from an Italian-Canadian Sicilian!! I just love this show!!
Hotter than hell 120 degrees skip the summers for certain I've been told, seeing Montalbano you know the scenery and cities are wonderful!!

Really do love this series, especially Caterello the bumbling policeman who never gets things right. For me he steals every scene he is in.
One of the best shows ever
Much love to all the crew for making it an unbelievable show.
Much love from India.
From Mexico I send all my love to The fabulous Montalbano crew and a big hug to Montalbano himself. I never miss a chapter . Teresa
Delighted to come across this video. Thanks everyone involved
The scenery is as much a cast member as any of the actors. Yes, I know they only show you the most beautiful places in the southeast but I just eat it up. The singer who's work appears from time to time I just love.
My favorite scene, when the parrot signs the Internationale.
Love Montalbano-- one of the best films (TV or movies) ever made!
Una Serie brillante, que todo al que le gusta las series policiales puede apreciar, un logro, felicito a sus autores y a los personajes que le dan vida a este COMISARIO MONTALVANO Saludos desde Argentina
I enjoy watching the show, My father came from Sicily, so I enjoy seeing the little they show of it, I have been to Italy but I missed going to Sicilia.

Yes! the light makes this series so wonderful. Each episode feels so unhurried. Carefully crafted. I love it. Greetings from Australia.
A wonderful series that I never tire watching. I enjoyed the young Montalbano too. Both actors (the young and the older Montalbano) are extremely good actors and totally gorgeous!
The rest of the cast is top notch too. It was a good idea that it was shown in italian with english subtitles when I was living in the UK. I thought I would improve my italian but in fact I mostly learnt swear words but it may come handy next time I go to Italy, Hahaha!

My husband and I love everything about the series.The acting is the best I have seen a series of this type.Must say Luca is perfect in the role.Has kept us going in this difficult time.
I was a Camilleri fan for years before I discovered this (from a Brit friend). I'm SO smitten by Montalbano, but my heart belongs to Catarella.💖💖💖

Here in Santa Fe, the public library has about 25 Camilleri books, a couple in Spanish. They also have some of the films, which, given that they are in Italian, is remarkable. I love the books, and the movies are remarkably well done. My relatives in Italy have now actually visited Sicily, something they would have never done before Montalbano. They used to have nothing good to say about Sicily. So the books have sparked tourism not just from Europe and America, but from Italy itself. Part of this is because the conservativism of Sicily, once reviled, is now admired. The Sicilians have held on to some of the better, older Italian values--its earthiness and its humanity.
I read several of Camilleri's books before the series was shown on BBC4 and was not disappointed with the TV series which are fairly loyal to the novels. Camilleri's concentrates on the characters and these are brought to life in the films. However, the real winner is these adaptations is Sicily which is a beautiful island, steeped in history. I urge anybody who has never visited to go - you wont be disappointed.
Very well done thanks Luca
Adoro a Montalbano. veo sus capitulos una y otra vez. Sus personajes son tan queribles, que ya los considero mi familia.Lloré cuando falleció el doctor Pasquano.
Hola , a todos desde aqui , R . Argentina , es un verdadero placer los dias domingo , cuando son las 2000 hs ,sentarse a no perder detalle del episodio, escrito por un maestro de la pluma, las interpretaciones de todos los actores , Luca tiene placer por todo lo que hace en el personaje, el comer , el beber el cafe , sus gestos al degustar los platos que le sirven en la cantina al lado del mar, las ubicaciones de las escenas , hacen de todo el conjunto un placer muy recomendable para mirar.
