Gomorra (2014) is een Italiaanse misdaadserie van de zender Sky Atlantic (Italia). De serie ging in première op 6 mei 2014.
De clan van Camorra Savastno staat onder leiding van Pietro, gevrees en gerespecteerd door iedereen en de invloedrijkste persoon in Napels. Hij vertrouwt op zijn rechterhand Ciro Dï Marzio die zijn leven voor Pietro zou geven. Pietro's zoon Genny is nog niet klaar om de leiding van zijn vader over te nemen. Aan Ciro de schone taak om hem op te leiden. Maar dan zorgt een rivaliserende bende ervoor dat Pietro in de gevangenis beland. Imma, de vrouw van Pietro, krijgt nu de touwtjes in handen. Na een lang verblijf in Honduras keert Genny terug naar Napels om zijn plaats in te nemen.
What should I think about when someone points to Naples in the Bosatlas? So many garbage bags in the streets, you'd think you're watching a Nickleson jacket fan day, the greatest little footballer ever, playfully holding up the leather before skilfully brushing aside Bayern Munich and of course what Italy is all about worldwide known… No, not grown guys who still live with their mother, but the mafia. And Sky Atlantic has put together a very cool series about the latter. In Sicily they have the Cosa Nostra, in Naples that mess is irregularly grouped under the name Camorra. In 2006, Roberto Saviano wrote a book about these kings of extortion, drug trafficking and muscle-rolling and it served as a blueprint for 12 episodes of delicious raw misery. Napoli has a mayor, but in fact it is the Savastano family who rule the dark alleys of the Italian port city. Son Genny doesn't really care about the fact that his padre runs a family business and is mainly busy spending all the money that his father has added to his bank account in an extremely creative way. When Dad ends up behind bars in a very clumsy way, the question arises who should keep his empire going for the time being. Gomorrah is no Romanzo Criminale, but it doesn't matter very much. It has that jenesai squoi that makes many European series so enjoyable to watch. Little frills, rawness (yes, that's just a word) and no rush. The ending offers the possibility of a second season and I would wholeheartedly welcome that. What I would also welcome is a McDonalds delivery service, but that is completely separate from this.
if you really think those clans are a mess, then you don't know much about Italian history and current affairs. they have the whole of Italy in their grip from Lampedusa to the Alps. Those who die mean nothing to the top, that is the harsh reality and that is unfortunately too little exposed in this series..

La piovra octopus is such a good series but very romanticized and long-winded it can always be better but the Italian series of films are also the best of its kind it will only get better _ (hopefully)
Bored, and I must say. nice and different... Still I expected it to be more raw, even though it was also nice here and there... Story was good, but the effect was sometimes too fast. And an occasional "huh?" moment... I think I'm saying it right, when I say that it's a really nice series that, despite the subject and the execution, lacks a bit of tension.. It's not really an edge... Let's make it a Calling Hard Drama... On to Season 2! That is clear... Definitely worth it... In the atmosphere of Braquo for those who have seen it....
