Chief B Mar 23 Top notch acting , cinematography , story telling . This is my favorite series . See more M R 09/22/2024 I will give my review one caveat, and that will be that I do not speak Italian and had to view with subtitles and voice over. I do believe that the voice over and translations can very much fall short of the original language, especially when it pertains to Mob/mafia content and the original voice is Italiano! Now for my review. After just binge viewing ZeroZeroZero, which to me was vastly superior in almost every metric to Gomorrah, perhaps this is why within the first 30 minutes of Gomorrah, it seemed contrived, predictable, dare I say "cheap", and just very much unfulfilling compared to ZeroZeroZero, which just has such a richness, excellent acting, so realistic, while Gomorrah just felt like a low budget production, with a director and actors of less caliber and intelligence, dare I say a production for the "less sophisticated" more common taste crowd? well I just did. overall review? Meh. will suffice if youve run out of options. way overrated here. See more Riccardo D @RickDB 07/25/2024 Absolute masterpiece of Crime television. Represents in a realistic and crude way the reality of those years in Naples, Italy. While that has now partially changed and the power struggle shown in the series belongs to the 90s and 00s, facts depicted are inspired by real ones. Characters are well-developed and believable and while they do push the viewer to wanting more they never fall in the stereotype that celebrates criminals. They are always shown for what they are. Do not skip this one. See more Maajed W 11/06/2023 It's gritty, in your face. Visceral and a masterpiece of intrigue. Problem is, everything else I start to watch after watching this looks lackluster- it's so gripping. Almost like the last frontier of crime serials. I have finished season 3. Sadly, just two more seasons to go. See more Olivia Y 04/15/2023 THE best series ever! Faultless………. See more Tony S 12/03/2022 I have never been blown away by a serieEnglish, was with this. Finished the whole 1st season in 3 days and the whole show (5 seasons plus 1 spinoff movie) in 2 weeks. This show portrays the true, dark and gritty side of Italy that no one talks about. I could go on about this show but I'll keep it brief. This show is based on real account stories of the Camorra; a mafia type organization based in Naples Italy who ultimately control the drug trade across Europe. What most people don't know, is that the Camorra is even more powerful and arguably more ruthless than the La Cosa Nostra Mafia that has always been the center of spotlight among Hollywood productions. While I have always loved the famous genre of American-Italian Mafia projects (Sopranos, Goodfellas, Boardwalk Empire, The Godfather, etc.) these developments have usually had a sense of glamorizing the life of organized crime whereas this show illustrates the real and brutal aspect of living such a life. The finale of this season left me with goosebumbs. This show needs to be marketed way more. I thought the Sopranos was the best, then I saw this. I can't even look at other shows the same because this raised the standard so much for me. Not one bad episode or one bad season. It has everything you would want in a crime drama and more. I highly encourage that you watch this in its native Italian (Napolitano) language with the subtitles, NOT in english, to make it feel even more authentic. See more Read all reviews
