Having to choose, you would be defended by the lawyer Lorenzo Ligas, a cheeky, unscrupulous and naturally charming Luca Argentero, or by the lawyer Guido Guerrieri, a doubtful, cultured and naturally charming Alessandro Gassmann?
Luckily our preference is only for the remote control, but It is curious that, almost simultaneously, two rather successful series dedicated to protagonists who practice the legal profession are airing on Sky and Rai 1. In short, after commissioners, magistrates and even detective priests, the time has come for lawyers.
Warriors. The rule of balance And Lawyer Ligas they are only apparently “legal dramas”. Firstly because the procedural narrative leaves ample space for actual investigation. And then above all because, unlike American series, here the focus is on the construction of the characters.
And from this point of view the figure of the “bauscia” Ligas, the character is taken from the novel Perdenti by Gianluca Ferraris, who shows off slapping faces to the rhythm of the gin and tonic he downs, is certainly more original, more in line with a Sky style, irreverent and less pompous than that of the Rai fiction, in a courageous experiment that frequently fades crime fiction into comedy. But, upon closer inspection, Ligas’ adaptation also often exceeds the hyperbolethe stereotype risks becoming a caricature (starting with Argentero’s “Milan-style” speech), while the events of Guerrieri grow from episode to episode and confirm Gassmann jr. as one of the best protagonists of our fiction.
