Brigands: The Quest For Gold is a new Italian historical drama on Netflix that follows the story of Giuseppe Schiavone, a notorious bounty hunter who becomes embroiled in a quest to find a map that leads to a treasure of gold. The show features a large cast of characters, including brigands, townspeople, and soldiers, and takes place in the beautiful setting of Sicily and southern Italy. The first episode does a good job of setting up the story and introducing the characters, but it remains to be seen how well the rest of the limited series will keep track of everyone. Michela De Rossi, who plays Filomena, is a standout performer, and her character is the most compelling of the bunch. Overall, Brigands: The Quest For Gold is a promising show with a lot of potential, but it remains to be seen if it can hold up under the weight of its massive cast.
