Overview
- The Italian miniseries premiered worldwide on Netflix on October 22, 2025 and reached the platform’s top spot by October 23, according to industry coverage.
- Directed by Stefano Sollima, the production spans four episodes and evokes rural Tuscany across the 1950s to the 1980s.
- The narrative draws on eight double homicides from 1968 to 1985 in which couples were shot in cars and the female victims were mutilated.
- Ballistic analysis in the early 1980s connected the murders to a single, still-unrecovered Italian Beretta and highlighted investigative mistakes, including years of imprisonment for a suspect later deemed innocent.
- Early write-ups cite a Venice premiere and note stronger initial reviews than Netflix’s Ed Gein series, with the show’s craft and atmosphere singled out for praise.
