I’m thrilled to share that the captivating mystery series, “Signora Volpe,” starring Emilia Fox, can now be streamed at no cost! If you haven’t had a chance to dive into this delightful whodunit yet, it’s high time you did!

Originally broadcast on Acorn TV, this show features an actor portraying Sylvia Fox, a retired British agent seeking tranquility in Italy. Yet, her peaceful existence is quickly disrupted when she unexpectedly takes on the role of an investigator, resolving various local mysteries.

After premiering the first two seasons in 2022 and 2024, the show “Signora Volpe” has now been relocated to the UK. Now, all nine episodes from the series can be streamed on U Player.

The logline for this series tells the story of a former British spy-turned-detective who begins a new chapter in the picturesque Italian countryside. However, she discovers that her peaceful life is far from tranquil, as trouble seems to always be on her heels. This captivating series is the brainchild of writers Rachel Cuperman and Sally Griffiths.

In the second series, comprising six instalments, Sylvia becomes smitten with Captain Riva, portrayed by Giovanni Cirfiera, as she reconciles with long-lost relatives and confronts an age-old adversary who endangers her tranquil life.

Lady Fox has garnered mostly favorable comments from critics. Decider noted about the second season: “It would be nice if the mysteries in Lady Fox were more compelling, but Emilia Fox’s charm and the breathtaking scenery are so captivating that we hardly notice.

Home viewers showered the same amount of appreciation, with one spectator (on IMDb) calling it an “entirely delightful” mystery show, highlighting a “remarkable” lead performance by Fox. They also commended Tara Fitzgerald for being spot-on as her on-screen sibling.

A different spectator commended Fox’s acting, labeling the performer as “a delight to observe” among the “attractive landscapes” and “engrossing narratives”. Additionally, this viewer appreciated the “relaxed” atmosphere.

The fan is expressing a preference for a series that avoids graphic violence, melancholic protagonists, and instead offers well-developed characters, numerous mysteries, humor, and subtle romantic elements. They also mention a central female character, family dynamics, and an Italian setting. The fan is eagerly anticipating more episodes and seasons.”

Or in even simpler terms:

“The fan wants a series with likable characters, mystery plots, some jokes, a touch of romance, and a main female character. They also mention family life and Italy. They’re hoping for many more episodes and seasons!

Signora Volpe is streaming on U Player.
