Review of The Bad Guy

The Bad Guy (2022– )
8/10
Entertaining story with some good comedy.
16 January 2023
I am about 5 episodes in and I am enjoying this gritty mob-com.

There are some great interactions between the characters, a witty script astutely delivered and there's plenty of action (not Hollywood spectacular, but more contained and appropriate)

I like the best lawyer in the world character and there are some funny court scenes and lawyer client interviews. I like the fact that the Sicilian police force appears to be comprised of one woman on a motorbike. The magistrate is a great central character. Some characters that at first appeared to be peripheral are coming into their own. One, who at present in my viewing time line is in a hospital bed is very funny indeed, a great comic actor.

I was delighted to hear Se Telefonando by Mina in the first episode. What a song! Mina was recommended to me by an Italian student some years back and I am very grateful as she is dynamite. A nice touch was that in episode 3 Se Telefonando is reprised by one of the characters whistling it.
