Ditch your weekend plans to watch 'addictive' Italian crime thriller for free
If you're prepared to spend your weekend with two detectives on the hunt for a serial killer, Channel 4 has your next binge watch waiting. In the Italian crime drama Pale Mountains – titled Brennero when it was released in the US and Canada earlier this year – there's a murderer on the loose who is exclusively targeting German-speaking locals. Set in the Alpine city bridging Italy and Austria, the new four-part gritty thriller touches on the political and cultural forces at work in what is the meeting point between northern and southern Europe. All the while, a manhunt unfolds for a serial killer the police tried to catch years before but failed to. Think David Fincher's 2007 film Zodiac for what sort of vibe you'll get. The killer laid low for three years, but when a German man is killed, it has all the hallmarks of the notorious serial killer who was never caught. Heading up the investigation in the city of Bolzano are a classically mismatched pair of law enforcement officers, with grisled and discredited inspector Paolo Costa (Matteo Martari) and ambitious but rookie prosecutor Eva Kofler (Elena Radonicich). As they try to piece together the serial killer's identity, Costa and Kofler must also settle their differences, with radically contrasting approaches to hunting down the infamous Monster of Bolzano (Paolo Briguglia). The two officers become a microcosm for the differences within Bolzano itself as they try to uncover the so-called Monster, who has shattered what was an already fragile the sense of community. The Italian and German-language drama is now available for free on Channel 4 through the broadcaster's Walter Presents offshoot. Launching back in 2016, it is an on-demand platform with a selection of award-winning foreign-language dramas, hand-picked by Walter Iuzzolino. Strap in, because the Pale Mountains episodes are bumper-length and close to two hours a piece. More Trending Within the four two-hour episodes, there's a focus on the main manhunt, as well as other cases woven in around it and the personal lives of those involved. The show has a 6.9 rating on IDMb, from over 100 user reviews, and has been labelled an 'addictive watch' by Good Housekeeping. View More » Pale Mountains is available to stream on Channel 4.
