Gomorra

[Minisooms]

I'm sure there has been a thread about this show so apols but I can't find one now anyrate I just finished watching the series and it was superb , doesn't look like there will be a series 2 until next year so in the mean time has anyone watched romanzo criminale ?

[AlcoholBrazil]

I may watch 5 mins and think Sodom that for a lark !

[MGA99]

Yes, watched both, agree with you re Gomorra, outstanding drama, superbly written and acted, for me it's a close shave between it and Romanzo Criminale but the latter just shades it, although RC was gritty and brutal you grew an affinity with the banda della magliana, especially Freddo and the backdrop context of late 70's Italian politics and terror was enjoyable too.

That said, the soundtrack and incidental music for Gomorra was amazing.

Lovely colour palette too ,lots of inky greens and blues .I grew an affinity with Ciro I shall give RC a go not sure how to acquire it ATM , hopefully it will be shown on shitflix or Amazon (as Gomorra was )

I agree with you re Ciro, aka Pep Guardiola at the beginning but he was just as big a cunt as the rest by the end

Indeed , without spoiling for others he did shock me around ep 8 ,now you mention it he does look a lot like pep

I am watching Gomorrah for free on a month long Amazon Prime free trial right....I am four episodes in.

Thoroughly enjoying it though I don't think it is as good as the mighty Romanzo Criminale.

Another gritty Italian crime drama in the same vein is Corleone, which was shown on Sky Arts last year and is repeated now and again.

Sky Arts are currently showing 1992, a tale of white collar crime in early 90s Italy and it is excellent, IMO.

One of the actors is the bloke who played Dante in Romanzo Criminale

Just for you, Mini....the best closing sequence for a TV show ever IMO.....except maybe The Sopranos

I bought that Vasco Rossi track on iTunes the night I first heard it.

A fitting end for Buffalo

[Minisooms]

I can't watch that can I ! Ffs
I don't have sky I'm going to have a look on eBay although I don't really like buying DVDs I would rather pay for a download

[Minisooms]

I pay 6.99 a month for Amazon ( lovefilm ) and that includes as many postal rentals as I can watch and return ,pretty good deal IMO

I started a thread on it a few months ago, but its been lost to the midsts of time.

I'd say its the best thing I've seen on TV for a long time, up there with Breaking Bad and Sopranos. The last 3 episodes are just stunning. OFF THE SCALE!!!! I'd urge anyone to watch it, but most are put off by the subtitles. The music, the casting, the locations, the characters, but above all the storylines are just phenomenal.

Cant wait for the second series.

If people are put off subs they are missing alot of good shows , les revenants , the killing , spiral , braquo etc etc looked for that RC show on ebay £67 quid someone wants for series 1 dvd looks like i will miss out

If you subscribe to LoveFilm (think its called Amazon Prime now...?), you pay £7/month and get to choose from '000's of titles, well worth it. I Know Romanzano Criminale is on there.

Altenatively get one of those Smart boxes for you TV (needs to be TV with interent access), and you can watch pretty much anything you want. they cost about £60 one off payment.

[Minisooms]

I have lovefilm / Amazon prime( you skimmed ) , the film romanzo criminale is available on there but not the series which is what I want anyrate a internet friend is going to errm sort me out, hopefully smart box might be way forward though

Try Youtube or Vimeo.

I have been watching the entire series of Magnificent Century, Turkish with English subs, on them and they might have other shows.

[Minisooms]

I'll check it out thanks

[deisegirl]

Ah do struggul wi' subtitles because I have a really short attention but if I have a long train journey I can get through a number of episodes. I've watched two series of Isabel that way over the last few months. I have one series left to watch but for a change I started S1 of Gomorra. Five episodes in and it's excellent

[carcinogen]

Saw series 2 recently. Pretty good, it was always going to be hard to follow the first one, but not a bad effort.
