Not Italian,but I'd recommend the French series Le Bureau des Legendes(The Bureau/Office) which has 4 series already. Its been mentioned on here before but is an excellent spy type of series. I think they might have done a fifth series but not translated into English yet.

Is it on Netflix?

Quite seriously though. It's dire. I can't begin to count how many preposterous scenes there were... 

 

+++spoilers follow+++

 

Little girl gets caught in crossfire - but nobody else - and bleeds out slowly. 

Ludicrous car chase. 

Frail old man falls 8 metres down ladder and breaks finger. 

Frail old man wants no anaesthetic for op. 

Soldiers on same side shoot each other. 

Sergeant shares money but one or two are too honest. 

Army assault on hotel, massive shootout at hotel wounds perhaps one or two. 

Nightclub shootout. 

Oh seriously, I can't be bothered trying to recall any of the other bits.

 

I guess you think I'm joking or on a wind-up but I'm really not. It's utterly facile. It's like a send-up without any humour. It's Rambo levels of absurdity. I remember years ago being told that Cliffhanger was unmissable. Mr rb14 and I were 20 minutes in, looking at each other going "What the actual fuck?" and switched it off. Life really is too short. Same with "zerozerozero". 

 

Gomorrah was like 20 million times better, and that does justice to neither.

You switched it off before the totally realistic parts on a boat and in the desert.

Ooooh, I'm having second thoughts. Is there a space episode? If so, I'm all in.
