Italian term or phrase: "A famiglia in giallo"
A six-episode television series written,directed and produced by Alberto Simone.

I don't think there is a direct English translation, so any possible suggestions would be appreciated. (I will probably leave the title in Italian in my translation, but would like to follow it with a possible English translation in brackets)
Thanks!

A family made for mystery
Explanation:
Not sure about my proposal, but here is a description I found on the web (BTW, the show's name is "La famiglia in giallo"):

http://digilander.libero.it/giulioscarpati/lecampane2004.htm
Giulio Scarpati tornerà presto in televisione, su Rai Uno, con una serie in sei puntate per la regia di Alberto Simone dal titolo “La famiglia in giallo”. E’ una commedia che lo vede commissario di polizia, single, alle prese con una madre “giallista” con la quale si troverà spesso in competizione per la risoluzione dei casi.Un modo di raccontare la quotidianità, il vivere comune attraverso la costruzione di storie “gialle” in cui lo spettatore dovrebbe essere via via coinvolto assemblando i vari elementi, l’evolversi delle inchieste che dovranno poi portare alla scoperta dell’”assassino”.
