Detective Aurelio Zen is an anomaly. Though he’s a member of Rome’s corrupt police department, he’s incorruptible. Though he’s handsome and fearless, he lives with his mother. But an attractive new co-worker may introduce romance into his life—if Zen doesn’t first fall victim to a murderous psychopath. This first of three adaptations of Michael Dibdin’s best-selling Zen mysteries features eye-filling Italian locations, attractive leads, an intriguing whodunit, and compelling action sequences. Rufus Sewell and Caterina Murino star. Sunday, July 17, at 9 p.m., PBS; check local listings
