[Dr Syntax Head]

Most underrated TV show I've ever seen, it's simply incredible. Well it's back end of Jan. Fuck yes!

Fantastic, I've just got the last couple of episodes to watch of series 2 this week. There's a glut of crime/gangster based TV shows out there, but Gomorrah is special.

[Dr Syntax Head]

It really is. It's really full of a lot of emotion other gangster shows ignore for basic cruelty and killing. It's really well done how much weight every death carries in this show. It really doesn't glamorise that lifestyle at all.

[wooders1978]

Not sure all of Ciros kills carry all that much emotion (the BIG one aside) dude is a total sociopath

[jobotic]

Oh God. i will watch it religiously and get more and more depressed as I do so. This is all I need.

[Dr Syntax Head]

Yeah I meant the emotion it generates in the viewer rather than the character.  Fucking hell I feel a right clown writing that down.

[wooders1978]

Oh yes definitely - in season 1 where they rob that warehouse and he just guns down that woman, visceral stuff

Series 3 Trailer (huge spoilers if you haven't watched right to the end of series 2 yet)

An even bigger fucking spoiler about series 3 if you let it run. Bugger.

Best avoided.

[wooders1978]

HOLY SHIT - all episodes available!!!
That's it, I'm having a wank

[jobotic]

Watching the first episode. Did Gennaro give his father up? I need to watch the end of  season 2 again.

Depressing Italian seaside towns piss all over anything East Kent has to offer.

To save you the bother - yes he did

[wooders1978]

Should anything happen to me, please let my family know I would like to be buried in the same, modest, hurst as Pietro Savastano

[Bazooka]

Just binged all of series 1, halfway through 2 and its been a real joy. They are all pure cunts, but gripping.

[wooders1978]

Just finished the lot and need to process it - where is everyone??

[jobotic]

Sorry, only done the first two episodes of this season.

I'm totally involved when I watch them but then can't remember a bloody thing a few weeks later.

I need to watch the first two again - where does one do this?

[wooders1978]

If u mean the episodes of season 3 then they are on now tv or sky box sets
I dare say you might be able to dig them out on YouTube but beware spoilers

[jobotic]

Thanks, but I mean the first two series. I've watched it from the beginning but all only once.

Episode 3 now. Sofia makes Secondigliano look like paradise so far.

[wooders1978]

Oh right - think the answer is the same - worth forking out for a month of now tv for IMO

Has anyone seen Maltese Mafia detective? Aired on 40D. Its from the creators of Gomorrah and its pretty good although the 40d format is unbearable, absurd amount of breaks.

[jobotic]

Sounds really good. Like the idea of it coming from the cop's point of view. Falcon was a proper hero.

I have to remind my self that these people are cunts. I think that's why Gomorrah is so good. You don't admire any of them. Ciro's slight redemption in the episode i just watched is such a tiny drop in the ocean of the stuff he's done. the first series when we saw how they go into a neighbourhood, give people work, seem glamourous and get people onside then poison everything, was brilliantly done.

I enjoyed Romanco Criminale but we were meant to like them. Corleone was a bit cack.

[Bazooka]

Just finished season 3 enjoyed it, although can't see the point in it continuing without threading trod ground.

[niat]

I enjoyed season 3 of Gomorrah, though I agree with Bazooka that the next season will need to do a lot to avoid the series repeating itself.

Finished Maltese last night. Thought it was excellent. The look of it was perfect, and really seemed to capture the feel of the 70s, beyond the obvious moustaches and haircuts. 

Annoying that it was only on All4, as the adverts really are intrusive, and unskippable. Hope they make another series and it's picked up on a decent platform in the UK.

I'll have to check out Maltese: The Mafia Detective as it sounds right up my street.

I've been watching a fair bit of 70's Italian Crime drama recently (Di Leo, Castellari etc) and you can certainly see the connection in Gomorrah. It has that same exciting dynamic of neorealism versus improbable melodrama, gritty concrete modernism versus faux Rococo extravagance.

[jobotic]

Season 4 tonight. I had no idea!

Sorry if not meant to resurrect a thread this old but don't reckon a new one would get many responses.

[Bazooka]

Thanks for the heads up, I also had no idea this was coming. Again I'll echo my earlier comment and say I don't think it has enough body to continue, yet I will be watching without a doubt.

[Ja'moke]

I binged the first three seasons earlier this year. Absolutely loved it. Glad to see season four is out now, already six episodes in. Definitely not to the standard of those first couple of seasons, but I'm still into it. Partly because I love Patrizia.

[Chollis]

Patri! Yeah, not quite up to the standard of the previous seasons, but it's still great telly. #TeamBlueBlood

[niat]

I watched the London episode last night (episode 4) and I thought it was a bit crap. The plot's been seen a million times, and it all wrapped up too neatly at the end. Genny's obvious disdain for London and refusal to speak any English was quite funny but I'll be glad when they are back in Italy for the next episode.

I enjoyed the previous 3 episodes, particularly the one with the kids which showed Patrizia becoming a proper Don.

[Lost Oliver]

Loved the first series and then this Italian girl who I fancy said it was too sentimental and it really put me off watching the second series. How pathetic is that? So CaB, does the second come close to the first? Or is it just a retread?
