Suburra - La serie

Thoroughly enjoyed this series. Between this and Romanza Criminale one feels like we are getting to know the grittier side of a large city without it all being about "just the Mafia".

Enjoyed the acting - even the newbies had a gaucheness that suited their characters.

Please, please, let there be a Season 2.

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.

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!

So I have watched Gomorrah, sorry. Subarra looks like a series that children watch compared to Gomorrah. It has many things that are looking the same, but it still has it's own vibe and there is big difference. It is like the criminal organisation and how it works has less attention and it is more about the politics and that everybody is dirty. It is a bit difficult fo rme to explain.

The story is sometimes cheesy and it is not hard to figure out what will happen. There are things happening that make you think like: huh? That does not make much sense. There are also some weird combinations and some relations are feeling forced.

Sometimes it feels more like a soap and the gangs are not real. Also with Samurai and the people above him. I never get a real sense of urgency. For me there is also not enough character development. But I must say some actors/actresses really play their part well and believable.

So overall it is a bit over the top with the drama and it got it's flaws but is it bad? No, it is a good effort .And I was hooked, I bingewatched it. So that's an extra point. So I have given Gomorrah a 10 so I can give this show an 8. Ohterways I must give Gomorrah a 9 and this show a 7, but that is not enough credit I think. So a solid 8.

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.
