Started watching on TV, but screening is random and hasn't been shown for about a year. So, bought the box set and well now enjoy as and when we want. We now have all the young and 'older' Montelbano episodes and don't care about the usual stuff that fills the schedules.

It doesn't disappoint a bit after the first Montalbano. Engaging episodes, very good cast and beautiful Sicilian locations. High quality dvds and excellent value. Highly recommended!

Rionjdino gives the part of Montalbano an entirely convincing and individual interpretation it is pure Mediterranean magic.The feeling you get when you curl up with a book on holiday while the sun sets and you're on your second cocktail. Unfolding at a leisurely two hours with no sense of urgency and no breaks. The young Montalbano had plenty of time to slip local colour into a pair of murder stories that unfolded in laconic yet not entirely gripping fashion, it was a rare thing a crime thriller that teased and circled its prey rarely breaking into a sweat. Fans of subtitled Euro treats walk this way.

If you like the series and can get on with subtitles then this is a great 6 disc set (series 1 and 2). I enjoyed the original Montalbano series and was pleased when I discovered that a prequel series had been made. I would hope that further series might be made but nothing has happened so far. This is a very good way to see how the various characters fall into the series as it progresses and gives you a great view of the shabby-chic environment of Sicily

This detective series is compulsive viewing. I began with the later Montalbano dvd box set and was despairing when it was coming towards an end. Then I found the 'Younger' series. The only pity is that I haven't seen it chronologically. However, I'd highly recommend others to purchase both and start from the start. You'll never get fed up with the characters, plots or scenary... Fabulous!
