Don Matteo

MYSTERY | ITALY | ITALIAN WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | TV-G

At an age when most people are retired, Don Matteo has not just one but two jobs! In addition to being a full-time priest, he also solves crimes on the side. Good thing he does – given the incredible murder rate in Gubbio, the police surely wouldn’t be able to handle the workload on their own otherwise. There’s currently 168 (count ‘em!) episodes of Don Matteo on MHz Choice – like his character, Terence Hill rarely takes a day off – making this by far our more binge-worthy series by sheer volume!
