Synopsis:

L'ispettore Coliandro is a series directed by Marco Manetti and Antonio Manetti (collectively Manetti Bros.), and written by the crime writer Carlo Lucarelli and starring Giampaolo Morelli in the title role of the Inspector Coliandro. According to the actors and the directors, Coliandro is an Italian crime television series aimed 'at young audiences.' Inspector Coliandro saves the day mostly by a combination (according to one of the actors) 'of luck and [his younger partner's] intuition.' He is ignorant, crude, and despised by all his colleagues except this partner, who is the only one who views him the way he views himself: as a hero worthy of the good guys in American cop movies.

Season 1
Episode 1
Day of the Wolf (Il giorno del lupo)

Coliandro, a young, low-ranking police officer in Bologna, accidentally comes into contact with Nikita when she comes to see a colleague of him in another department. She wants to show him a suspect package that she has been given to deliver. Coliandro, seeing this as his big break in the force, offers to help her. The package contains a large sum of money in cash and a mysterious floppy disk that blocks the police computing system. When they try to deliver the package to the addressee, they find him dead in his office.

Episode 2
Into a Trap (In trappola)

Inspector Trombetti returns fire during a police operation in a dark garage. When the lights come on, the body of a local gangster is found, but he was unarmed. Trombetti is suspended, and there are even rumours that he once worked for the gangster. Coliandro, convinced of his friend's innocence, clears Trombetti and discovers who the dishonest cop really is, all with the help of the gangster's sister, with whom he falls in love.

Episode3
Chinese Revenge (Vendetta cinese)

Chinese child vanishes, leaving behind a dragon key ring. Urged on by his sweet but insistent niece, Ispector Coliandro, theoretically on leave to look after the little girl, begins an investigation of his own within Bologna's Chinese community.

Episode 4
Black Magic (Magia nera)

A Nigerian girl is killed. After a series of blunders, Coliandro is accused of being racist. He is taken off the case and assigned to escort Kiru, the victim's sister, from Nigeria. The two wind up having a passionate affair as Coliandro discovers that the victim was actually a maid killed by Kiru's sister, who was trying to get her hands on a large sum of money.

Episode 1: Day of the Wolf - In this first episode of the series, Inspector Coliandro and a young delivery girl have crooks hot on their tails after they see a computer file they weren't supposed to.
Episode 2: Into a Trap - Trombetti is accused of killing an unarmed gangster but Coliandro isn't buying it. He's also fallen into the arms of the gangster's sister who's bent on avenging her brother's death.
Episode 3: Chinese Revenge - A Chinese child vanishes, leaving behind only a dragon key ring. Coliandro gets pressure from his ten-year old niece, whom he fears more than any criminal, to solve the case.
Episode 4: Black Magic - A Nigerian girl is killed, apparently as punishment for wanting to quit the prostitution racket. Her regal sister arrives from her home village to oversee Coliandro's investigation.
