Gomorrah: The Series (2014)
After watching four seasons, I have to say that Gomorrah is undoubtedly the best mafia series I've ever seen. All the seasons hold the quality bar so high that I can't say which one I liked the most. It's fascinating that there's actually no one outright virtuous here, yet I always found someone I sympathized with... until they became even more of a lunatic in killing than the others. The characters of Ciro Di Marzio and Genna Savastano were the most interesting for me. I was usually rooting for one or the other, so when Ciro went to his eternal hunting grounds at the end of season three, I thought season four was going to be kind of a dud. Fortunately, my assumption was not confirmed and after a few episodes, I didn't even remember Ciro anymore. Genna's new business interest and the events surrounding Patrizia Santoro made up for his absence. Overall, I would like to highlight the amazing authenticity of most of the scenes, the well-developed characters of the main actors, and the generally great acting performances. I'm also a big fan of the theme song, which adds an incredible amount of atmosphere to the show.
