S01E01 La traccia del serpente
As soon as he arrives in Rome with his faithful assistant Archie Goodwin, the famous American investigator, Nero Wolfe, is contacted by his first client: a woman asks to find a boarder in the hotel...
Recruited as a chaperone at a reception for mothers-girls, Archie Goodwin assists helplessly with the death of one of the two young escorts, Lucia, poisoned with arsenic. The police are sure it is suicide, but Archie is convinced of the opposite, and initially Nero Wolfe suspects the victim's ex-boyfriend, who had been abandoned to the news of the pregnancy and later lost the child.
Interesting modern actualization made by Italian broadcasting service (RAI) of immortal, well-known characters created by the genial American novelist Rex Stout.
