Police District Season 3

Police District Season 3 has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available. The 1-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. With 15 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Simone Corrente is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Put it on tonight and see for yourself.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Police District Season 3 is worth clearing space for. Police District Season 3 gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. The third season opens with a surprising twist: the arrival of the new Commissioner Giulia Corsi at the Tenth Tuscolano District. She must deal with the legacy of her father, a magistrate murdered a few years earlier, and investigate the murder of Angela Rivalta, Inspector Ardenzi's wife. Simone Corrente and Marco Marzocca lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2002. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Police District Season 3 holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Police District Season 3. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Simone Corrente's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
