Claudia Pandolfi is the protagonist of the new Sky thriller series “Il suspect”. It is an intense crime that deals with the themes of femicide, disability – one of the protagonists, in fact, is hard of hearing – but also family relationships. All set in a special and, so far, unreleased location for the small screen: the city of Viareggio during the Carnival celebrations.
There are four episodes in total directed by Mario Mancini for a story not inspired by any real crime news event but ready to intrigue and at the same time make us reflect.
The series is produced by Sky Studios, Paco Cinematografica and Zucco Film, directed by Mauro Mancini. The screenplay was written by Mirko Cetrangolo and Matteo Menduni.
But let’s go into more detail to understand what awaits us from this crime thriller series.
