He's not quite the softer character in the book whose inner demons and anxieties show. Not on the TV shows.<br />The younger Montalbano is cute and surrounded by handsome young actors. He is impulsive and yells, too, without the years of experience behind him.

And I like the TV series, too. The shows with the younger Montalbano show some very handsome young Italian actors, as noted by another woman fan of the series.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-69055426525742996582021-07-12T04:07:32.890-07:002021-07-12T04:07:32.890-07:00'Bittersweet' is definitely the word for i...'Bittersweet' is definitely the word for it, Cathy.
