Suburra - La serie

Suburra is simply awesome. I was lured into watching it after some frenetic Netflix advertising and am glad I did.

This series, although not without flaws and the occasional cheesy indulgence, is highly entertaining and addictive. What's better than a double cross? A triple cross, of course! Watching the various factions (Mafia, Vatican, politicians and local crime families) battle it out is exhilarating. Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer!

Suburra has everything you'll need if energetic, fast paced entertainment is your thing. Watching the players sinking in the quicksand they've created is just an added bonus.

In summary I can say only one thing: Come on Season Two!

There are precious few film projects that are as well done as this series. #1 You are going to want want to watch the whole thing. #2 This is epic storytelling at its finest, the plot is cohesive, the dialogue extremely well written and the acting is first rate for every character in every scene. #3 The production values and cinematography are as as good as what you would expect in a golden globe nominated film. With all the money that gets spent on producing titles for television one wonders why more are not as good as this one. In its second season this series will draw you in and , for me , never disappoints. It is , IMO, a rare gem indeed. Competing and conflicting interests and desires from assorted characters in a complex plot that you can easily follow. It is a real thriller.

This is the Italian series y'all been waiting for.

This is the potential that I saw back in the days in "Romanzo Criminale La Series" transferred in a series targeted to an international audience.

Brilliant, intriguing, violent, twisted.

Must watch!

I loved these mafia series about the conquest of the Roman coast Ostia by the Mafia. It is one of the best Italian productions I have seen since decades. Very good actors, romance, intriguing stories and nice locations around the eternal city of Rome. But be prepared on very brutal bloody scenes and lot of never ending dirty words. Congratulations to all the actors and the staff. If you like this genre then check out the other series Breaking Bad or Narcos. It deserves a solid 9/10. Don't miss it and watch it in original language with subtitles, you won't regret.

Amazing acting, amazing characters, addictive plot! Rome as you've never seen it before. 9/10. A must watch for every mafia-related movie fan! Has a very interesting and underground vibe, and a new perspective of the different families of Rome. Its available on Netflix, there are 10 chapters. I'm definitely waiting for a new season.
