Il cacciatore

A fiction tale based on historical events in Palermo, Italy which draws out the atrocities of the Mafia at the time, and how Italian prosecutors drawn by an unwavering sense of justice, but also a sense of thrill, attempt to bring down the Corleone family. The film is both raw and direct. The killings, brutal. I loved it.

I did not know what to expect. It blew me away. Its about 1990's Mafia, and its shot in Palermo and the surrounding, has some really cool vintage cars, strong story, a great soundtrack and above all an amazingly good actors. The lead actor is just superb and the rest don't disapoint either. whay can I say.. ma ma mia

I was in the mood, googled Italian series, and... oh my. What a surprise. The writing is intelligent and creative. The acting is fantastic, and even the hot blooded melodrama comes off well. Top notch cinematography, editing, music and... based on real events. Just a real treat to discover and I can't wait for another season.

Let me begin by saying that I am not one for usually writing reviews. Having said that, and after having seen the entire series, I feel compelled to share my thoughts. Let me begin by saying that this show treats the viewer with respect, both for their intelligence and their time. Unlike regurgitated puke-inducing American shows, this superlative Italian crime drama, absolutely redefines the genre. It is original, gripping, filled with nuances and intrigue, and never relinquishes control of the viewers attention. I cannot say enough good things about the level and maturity of the acting on display. It is such a breath of fresh air to find a show, albeit in another language, that brings to life a story and characters in the most lucid and thought provoking manner. 10 out of 10.

You hear stories about this Italian mafia and those who tried and sometimes dies trying to stop their activities. Really enjoyed this textured portrayal of both sides. Looking forward to season 2.
