If you are looking for an Italian TV series on first videos, in this article we list (from the most recent to the oldest) the series produced in our country by the Amazon streaming platform.
In the list we first entered the “scripted” TV series (ie recited, in practice) in chronological order, with an exception that we explain later, and then also mention two shows (yes, you will have already understood which) that we love particularly. Instead, we reluctantly removed Prisma, not for the quality of the series but because it was canceled from the first video after two seasons.
For each series mentioned, we refer to the direct link on Prime and our reviews, so that you can get an idea before “trying the fate”. The choice and good visions to you!

Those About to Die (1 season) – Gender: Historic
It is not exactly an Italian series in the strict sense, because the protagonists are not Italian (Iwan Rheon and Anthony Hopkins) and not even the director
Roland Emmerich. But Those About to Die is set in ancient imperial Rome, has several Italian interpreters and was shot in Cinecittà: how could we exclude it from this list? So enjoy this story of bully races, overwhelming passions and dark conspiracy.
