Summary
Reviewers say 'Gomorrah' is lauded for its intense realism, brutal mafia depiction, and high production values. Themes of relentless violence, complex characters, and unlikable protagonists are prominent. Often compared to 'The Sopranos' and 'Breaking Bad', it is noted for superior authenticity and grit. Cinematography, acting, and script receive acclaim, though some criticize inconsistencies in character development and plot. Its unflinching portrayal of Naples' criminal underworld is a standout feature.

Probably the best most realistic series I have ever watched
Characters are utterly real - brilliant but horrifying too
Very violent - if you like that kind of thing.
A very well-made TV series about the Camorra mafia in Naples. The director is not holding back on the dirty and gruesome details that classifies this organization. I must say that i'm very impressed with the crew shooting the series at the actual drug-ghetto as their location of choice. It gives a more authentic feel to the viewer. If you haven't seen the movie Gomorrah from 2008 i must recommend that you see it first. But i do feel that the 2014 series is of much better standards.
Thumbs up!

In my opinion this is an absolutely brilliant TV-series. In the beginning you get to know the characters and the Mafia business in general, but as the series develop you get a deeper insight into all the personalities, their psychology, the choices that they make and how/why their actions lead to all kinds of different sequences of events that are tragic, sad, action packed, exciting and entertaining.
The environment that it's shot in suits the series perfectly and I must say that the series is better than the movie Gomorrah (which is also good). If you're a fan of series such as The Sopranos, or movies like the Godfather and Scarface, I'll guarantee you that you'll love Gomorra!

Gomorroh was so much better than I expected it to be. It's so good I'm actually mad at myself for putting it off for so long. I've read about how good this series is for years but still out it off for some reason. Well, it definitely lived up to all the hype and then some. I was hooked from the very first episode to the last. If you're a fan of crime dramas involving drug cartels then give this a try, you won't be disappointed. It is an Italian show so you'll either have to watch with subtitles or watch it dubbed in American. You'll get used to it pretty quick and forget all about it so don't let that deter you from watching it. This is seriously one of the better shows I've seen in years.
Do not let the subtitles put you off this incredible show. This show is easily the best tv series i have ever watched. I blitzed 4 seasons recently and then watched them all again. Im now left with a tv void and has pretty much ruined any other show. I found myself obsessed, scrolling through user reviews and google maps of Naples. The acting is impecible and the scenes are realistic and brutal. Do yourself a huge favour and watch if you haven't already.
