Suburra: Blood on Rome

This show brings an impressive combination of intrigue, tension, and complex characters, skillfully filmed in both the seedy and the beautiful parts of Rome and Ostia. The only problem is that the Italian is virtually incomprehensible, even with subtitles, which are often too fast to follow. Sometimes the issue is a very heavy Romanesco, other times I think it's youthful slang. But everyone, no matter their age or background, uses forms of the word "cazzo" in a breathtaking variety of parts of speech and inflections. I can't think of any profanity with that level of flexibility in other languages. If you are reading this, then this review made it past the IMDB mod bots, but I don't plan on employing my newfound knowledge elsewhere...

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.

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.

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!
