Hi & thanks for posting
This is a funny series in Italian for world wide export basically a telenovela of Mexican style but with much more sophistication and humor. I suppose I had better mention that, because it will get twisted around as some foreign illegal immigrant thing! Not that Italians are illegal Central American mestizo migrants, but not speaking English the ignorant amongst us might confuse the two!
In any any case the clip I posted I am sure we have all experienced at sometime or other on US roads even if it was televised in Italian & filmed in Sicily!
. The cussing and foul language of course can be directly translated into English English colloquialisms, and would never be allowed on US TV in any case but a howler of reality nontheless. The inevitable outcome of threatening a plain clothes cop with a baseball bat is obvious!
The issue for this forum is that there are those that are absolutely obsessed with current political debates & topics, and are so blinded by everyday funny human behavior whether its in the USA or in this case Italy, they can't see the funny sides of anything!
Of course nothing in that clip is subtle but the series overall also picks up on the more familiar sides of life, if you open your eyes and listen. After all who cannot be enchanted by a sophisticated Italian woman like the lovely "Angelica"!
If you are red bloodied male of any nationality who would not find this late 30's woman attractive? It almost makes you want to be fluent in Italian and strike up a conversation with her .
Commissario Moltalbano just does that in the series over lunch!
You don't need to understand Italian just to get the gist of the reactions to understand--In Italian! ( Una pui bella cosa! Phoor!)

And
I doubt American TV would NOT allow an actress to be dressed like this:-
