"The first few shots of the CNN documentary series Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy capture a good chunk of the show’s appeal: Stanley Tucci, wearing sunglasses and a stylish suit, strides through Naples as cars and motorcycles rush past him," says Karen Han. "After years of cultivating an image as a sex symbol without ever coming across as unapproachable, he seems like the perfect host for a food and travel show. Of course we would want to carouse and break bread with Stanley Tucci. Though the specter of a certain coronavirus may occasionally slip into the frame and jar viewers out of the fantasy, the series reveals Tucci to be not just a great actor and a potent thirst object but also a thoughtful, charming host."
