The Master(piece) of Zen

By Annmarie Dean

Three Zen mysteries make their debut this month, July 17, 24 and 31 (at 9 p.m.) to be exact, and my suggestion is to not miss a single one. The series is great…actually, it’s exceptional! Each episode is full of twists, turns, beautiful shots of the city of Rome and Italy’s picturesque landscapes. Of course corruption surrounds Aurelio Zen (Rufus Sewell), from his co-workers at the Questura di Roma to the bureaucrats that run Rome, but he does not falter in his search for truth and justice.
