The New Squad(2008)

The New Squad is an Italian crime drama series set in Naples, where the Spaccanapoli Police Station tackles crime in the city's most troubled neighbourhoods. Deputy Commissioner Paola Ricci, a principled officer, leads the unit while frequently clashing with Sergio Vitale, the headstrong commander of the elite "Falchi" squad. As the team pursues dangerous criminals, they grapple with their own personal demons and institutional pressures. The series balances procedural tension with character-driven storytelling, exploring how ambition, ethics, and loyalty collide within the ranks of law enforcement. Set against Naples' gritty streets, The New Squad examines both the external fight against organised crime and the internal conflicts that threaten to unravel the department from within.
