L'ispettore Coliandro is a Collection of Italian tongue-in-cheek television Pictures Headed by Marco Manetti and Antonio Manetti, Also Compiled by the Offense writer Carlo Lucarelli and starring Giampaolo Morelli in the title role of the Inspector Coliandro. According to the actors and the directors, Coliandro can be an Italian crime television show aimed toward"at young audiences." In reality that this is therefore. Even the policemen in biblical fiction and shows such as Il commissario Montalbano are servants of their law, and save the day. Inspector Coliandro saves the day also, but mostly by a mixture"of luck and [his younger partner's] intuition." He is loathed by his coworkers except that this partner, who is the just one that view him the way he sees himself: as a hero worthy of the good guys in American cop movies, and ignorant, primitive. The series' comedy is manifest in the gap between how the method by which in which the remainder of the world sees him and also Coliandro sees himself. Coliandro's name is actually a play on the Italian word coglione - a word literally meaning"ball", but usually combined with the meaning of"asshole" - and that needs to continually correct its own pronunciation.
