Frank Riva
The Complete Series
Alain Delon stars as Frank Riva, an ex-undercover cop called in from retirement after 25 years of exile to investigate the mysterious circumstances surrounding the murder of his brother in a drug sting operation. He soon finds himself back on the trail of the notorious Loggia crime family, who had put a bounty on his head during the French Connection days.
Frank is forced to pick up the pieces of a life he left behind a quarter of a century ago: his old flame Catherine, Nina Rizzi, the daughter he never knew, and Xavier Unger, his former partner, now chief of the Paris police. He must also put together a new team to confront the Loggia gang: Superintendent Lydie Herzog, his nominal superior, the headstrong Captain Hervé Sebastian, and rookie computer whiz Juliette Janssen.
Frank Riva is a police officer who follows his instinct and refuses to be deflected from his mission, a man who ignores social convention and flouts rules and regulations, and who lives according to his own deep conviction of right and wrong.
This Complete Series, in French with English subtitles, consists of two three-part episodes.

Inspector Vivaldi Mysteries
The Complete Series
Inspector Federico Vivaldi is an old-school cop in a new world: his son is gay, his wife has left him and he's got an ambitious colleague nipping at his heels to take over his position. He may be old-fashioned but he's resilient enough to find his way in the new reality.
His son, Stefano, is also a cop, and father and son make a good team solving crimes together in the northeastern Italian city of Trieste. Each has different strengths: Federico's a veteran investigator with finely honed instincts, while Stefano takes a more rational approach using the latest forensic tools. Together, they investigate cases ranging from insurance fraud to murder and human trafficking.
Their toughest challenge involves the murder of a math professor who had been solving some equations linked to the long-ago kidnapping and murder of a young woman. When Federico's best friend and former colleague gets called in as a suspect in the same cold case, it seems as if his world has turned inside out.
This DVD set is in Italian with English subtitles.
