What happens

Il commissario Manara (Italian for 'Commissioner Manara') is an Italian police procedural television series. It is a spin-off from the 2005 series, Una famiglia in giallo (Italian for 'A Family in Yellow'). Like that earlier series, the show is a romantic comedy and police procedural. Guido Caprino plays the titular police officer, Luca Manara. The series consists of two seasons of twelve episodes each: the first was broadcast from 8 January to 12 February 2009 on Rai 1, while the second aired from 3 March 2011 on the same network. A third series, of which the story arc had already been laid out, was not completed. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
