Episodes:

Ep. 1: The good magistrate (2022-12-08)

Investigating magistrate Nino Scotellaro is on the trail of Mariano Suro. He has been hunting the fugitive boss of Cosa Nostra for years. This time he really is just one step away from catching him. But when the arrest fails, a furious Nino points his finger at the institutions, which he believes are accomplices. This accusation, however, will backfire, eventually taking everything away from him
Ep. 2: Moles (2022-12-08)

Everyone is convinced that Nino Scotellaro is dead, including his wife Luvi and his sister Leonarda. In reality, Nino is alive in a remote village. He is a guest of Don Salvatore Tracina, the only person who can help him. An unlikely alliance begins between the two that will transform the magistrate Nino Scotellaro into the Mafioso Balduccio Remora.
Ep. 3: Tu quoque... (2022-12-08)

Now that Nino is “free” again, it is hard for him not to think about his previous life. But the desire to avenge all he has lost takes over. And so, in his new identity as a Mafioso, he becomes part of another “family”: the Tracinas, a clan in decline, rivals to Suro. Together with them, he begins his revenge. To fight Suro, though, they need weapons.
Ep. 4: Nature doesn't stop (2022-12-15)

Nino's arrival upsets the balance of power in Wowterworld, the Tracinas' base. Nino, who has never liked receiving orders, is ready to do anything to get what he wants, even to challenge Don Salvatore Tracina.
Ep. 5: I saw the light (2022-12-15)

The power vacuum allows Nino to adopt a new and atypical command strategy for a Mafia clan: democracy. To defeat Suro, though, he also needs the support of the other Mafia families who have long hated Suro but never rebelled.
Ep. 6: /al·lor·quàn·do/ (2022-12-15)

Nino goes further than anyone has ever dared before, but he soon realizes that his magistrate's methods are not enough: to catch Suro he has to fully become part of the criminal world he has always fought.
