Gomorra: La serie

Gomorroh was so much better than I expected it to be. It's so good I'm actually mad at myself for putting it off for so long. I've read about how good this series is for years but still out it off for some reason. Well, it definitely lived up to all the hype and then some. I was hooked from the very first episode to the last. If you're a fan of crime dramas involving drug cartels then give this a try, you won't be disappointed. It is an Italian show so you'll either have to watch with subtitles or watch it dubbed in American. You'll get used to it pretty quick and forget all about it so don't let that deter you from watching it. This is seriously one of the better shows I've seen in years.

Probably the best most realistic series I have ever watched Characters are utterly real - brilliant but horrifying too Very violent - if you like that kind of thing.

My review is not going to add a lot to most that are already written here. But I just had to write this. I'm 52, and I've seen a lot of movies, series and theatre/plays in my life. Hundreds. Thousands maybe.

With that in mind, I am convinced that S3E12 is the best piece of acting, cinematography and screenwriting that I have ever seen. By far. I'm aware this is a matter of taste, not a fact, but I just have to share this, hoping to convince readers to go with Gomorra's flow and let it blow you away. For days or even weeks after watching it.

I won't share the (essential) spoiler in the season 3 finale. In the episode's final 15 minutes, the dark side of mankind, deep compassion, unbelievable cinematography, death, deep hate and love come together... I can't find the words. It's even erotic in a disturbing way. Have watched it a dozen times now and I just have to watch it again and again. Can't get it out of my head.

Have seen all four seasons (and the fourth season is a bit weaker than the previous three, therefore 9 out of 10) and all 48 episodes are outstanding (seriously), with the 36th as the series' magnificent highlight. Can't wait for the fifth season. I wish I could thank the creators and actors in person. Unbelievable.

Finally: the moment at the end of each episode, when 'that track' starts again, and you know it's going to happen. What's going to happen? Start watching and you'll know what I mean

Gomorrah is one of the better crime series I've ever seen in some time. It's not the best but it's definitely worth watching. It has a 8.7 rating for a reason. I started watching it because of all the great reviews/ratings I've seen over the years and it has not disappointed! You never know what is going to happen and is like Game of Thrones in a way by the fact that they don't shy away from killing off main characters. It's not for everyone because it's a very gritty, violent, realistic show! Just a warning, once you start watching it it's hard to stop. You'll find yourself binge watching the entire series as fast as possible!

Do not let the subtitles put you off this incredible show. This show is easily the best tv series i have ever watched. I blitzed 4 seasons recently and then watched them all again. Im now left with a tv void and has pretty much ruined any other show. I found myself obsessed, scrolling through user reviews and google maps of Naples. The acting is impecible and the scenes are realistic and brutal. Do yourself a huge favour and watch if you haven't already.
