Signora Volpe is an exciting new detective drama series that premiered on Acorn TV in 2022. Set in 1960s Italy, the show follows Sylvia Fox, a witty and fiercely independent British intelligence officer who takes on the code name "Signora Volpe" (Italian for "Mrs. Fox") as she goes undercover in Rome to track down a mysterious enemy organization.

After foiling an assassination attempt in London, Sylvia finds evidence that points to a powerful group of fascists secretly rebuilding Mussolini's fascist network in Rome. Her spymasters at MI6 give her a new identity and send her to the Eternal City to infiltrate the group and stop their plans before they can wreak havoc across Europe.

In Rome, Sylvia must use all her intelligence, resourcefulness, and powers of deception to unravel this conspiracy. She gains allies in two locals, taxi driver Claudio and café owner Gina, who provide key insights into the seedy underworld of Rome's criminal networks. Meanwhile, Sylvia must evade capture by the ruthless and tightly knit fascist cabal, who have spies and henchmen throughout the city.

With its riveting spy scenes, twisty plots, and richly drawn characters, Signora Volpe has won praise for vividly capturing the intrigue and danger of being an undercover agent in 1960s Europe. Scottish actress Kelly MacDonald brings grit, charm, and tenacity to the lead role, delivering a captivating performance as the unconventional spy heroine.

Filmed on location in Rome, the series takes full advantage of its setting in the ancient metropolis, with Sylvia navigating dark alleys, crowded cafés, and the halls of power in the Vatican to track her elusive enemies. The city comes alive through the show's dazzling cinematography and meticulous period details that evoke Italy in the postwar era.

While solving crimes and taking down assassins, Sylvia must also wrestle with the secrecy and loneliness inherent to her work. She left behind a husband and young daughter in London to take this mission, and underneath her steely exterior is a woman who yearns for connection. This inner conflict adds fascinating dimension and humanity to the character.

With suspenseful action sequences, a strong female lead, and an intriguing historical backdrop, Signora Volpe offers a gripping look at espionage in the early Cold War era. Spy fiction fans will find a smart, stylish, and wonderfully performed adventure story to savor in this new series from Acorn TV.

Signora Volpe is a series that ran for 2 seasons (7 episodes) between May 2, 2022 and on Acorn TV
