people put their fate in the
hands of counsellor Tony
Jones and therapist Stephanie

La Porta Rossa (Rialto, Sky 039,
8.30pm). The hit Italian seriesThe Deuce, Tuesday.- well, it was a hit in Italy –
returns for a second season.
It’s a spooky, supernatural
crime story about Trieste cop
Leo (Lino Guanciale), who is
murdered and decides to stick
around (rather than enter a
red door into the afterlife),
to solve his own murder and
protect his wife and unborn
daughter. The season-one
finale was described in Italy as
an “absolute novelty in Italian
television” and was watched
by more than three million
viewers. In season two, Leo
knows his killer’s identity, but
there is much still unex-
plained. Rialto is screening
double episodes from today.9-1-1 (Three, 9.00pm). It’s
like the Grey’s Anatomy
of emergency shows: the
personal lives of the first
responders are interspersed
with scenes of life-or-death
drama. Three picks up in the
middle of season two and an
episode featuring a tiger shark
stranded on a freeway and a
woman stranded mid-facelift
when there is a gas leak at herThe 9/11 documentaries don’t
arrive as thick and fast any

avenues have been explored,
but In the Shadow of the Towers:

Sky 010, Thursday, 8.30pm) has
found another perspective.

kids near the World Trade
Center, had just started their
day.
