Suburra - La serie

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!

For some reason, Netflix is particularly adept in producing Mexican and Italian series. Suburra was just about perfect. I know some of it is not real world but if you suspend belief for a view hours this is a hugely entertaining show. Great actors, good story, Rome scenery is wonderful and the story moves along at a satisfactory clip. Finished season 1 in on Sat and Sun morning and have watched 2 episodes of season 2. Firefox tells me that Netflix is the number 1 site I have visited. It took Yahoo financial's first place spot without a sweat. I think Netflix is on to something good here.

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.

First two seasons were amazing but after watching season 3 I have to downgrade the rating from a previous 10 to a generous 8 because of season 3 failure. I don't understand why they have decided to end the series just ONLY using six episodes. Everything was solid from two previous seasons, so, Why? Shame on Netflix that knows how to ruin an amazing series. Stupid decisions to conclude poorly an amazing show.
