Inspector Vivaldi Mysteries

Inspector Federico Vivaldi is a veteran investigator with finely-honed instincts who works alongside his son Stefano, also a policeman. The two clash on account of the younger man's more rational approach to cases involving everything from trafficking to insurance fraud in the northeastern Italian city of Trieste — but the older Vivaldi, who is determined to win back his ex-wife Laura, usually manages to get the best out of his son, and even learns to accept Stefano's homosexuality.

This mini-series aired in Italy in 2005 as Mio figlio.
