Topic: Gomorrah - TV Series [No Spoilers]

[saoirse08]

Two episodes to do. This has been Shakespearean in its brilliance. I'm sure Ciro has echoed Macbeth's words on a few occasions, too. And, just to say again, the sound production on this show is the best I've heard for a long time.

Will read the rest of thread when finished. 

[RedSince86]

I totally forgot about this show.

I've been in Southern California for 2 months so i'm gonna have to trawl the net to stream some season 2 episodes while i'm here,not even sure if this show was on tv here and if it was i totally missed any information about it.

Holy shit! Just watched the last 2 episodes and can't wait for season 3. What an ending!!

This and GoT - the 2 best shows and now have to wait until next year for both.

If you haven't seen this, get on it.

[Daniel Cabbaggio]

Because its such a great show on screen you sometimes forget the epic atmospheric music in the background,

Dont post here much but
Loved The Supranos, Breaking Bad was super,
The Wire was brilliant
But Gomorrah is the best thing I have ever seen.
Just got through both season 1 and 2 in a week.

Cannot wait for season 3 more than anything I have ever watched

[Sibierski Nazário]

Loved the first season of this not seen the 2nd yet, I love the show because it's got The Wire like vibe too it, also is it me or does Don Pietro look like the bloke who manages Napoli.

Love the characters and the storytelling it's a brilliantly written show.

From watching the first season the show seems real, I can actually imagine stuff that happens in the show actually happens in real life in Naples.

One of the problems I had with The Sopranos as much as I loved that show it seemed unrealistic, the Gomorrah on the other hand seems like a real life documentary even though it's a TV show.

Premiered on Sundance last night, which is available only in SD on my cable system.

Weirdly, that seemed to intensify the show, everything dark and low-def...

Phenomenal...

[Canada Loves Anfield]

Any word on the day this is back? Was seeing season 3 was getting released April/May 2017...

[cloggypop]

No idea but Suburra is still listed as coming 2017 on Netflix. That should be boss as well.

Tricky thing is that with season 1, Sundance showed episodes back-to-back in pairs, which if they do the same this time round, means I'll get to see Pistolero's best ep ever tonight...

If

[Zlen]

I think I'll binge both seasons again. Just because.

Spoiler

its the episode where Savastano and Genny are secretly reunited - and then have to go on the run following the shootout in the bar...the closing third of the ep is largely without dialogue but its one of the most tense of the entire series (the soundtrack is used to stunning effect).........Genny's finally emerged from his father's shadow - and his father knows it - the shift in the dynamic between the two defines the rest of the season..

Ah yes of course. Cheers

I even commented on it at the time.  Memory like a goldfish me

Fucking Hell

Episode 1 was good but...

Episode 2 was simply a masterpiece of an episode. Can't believe you lads aren't lauding over it big time. Fucking brilliant from start to finish with a little bit of everything in perfect measurements that makes a good crime drama brilliant.

This program is the dogs bollocks and If Vince Gilligan had directed this, the whole world but be going mad for it.

I feel It's only gonna get better if that's possible.

[Pistolero]

Ah yes of course. Cheers

  ...do keep up


btw, i think it's safe to say episode 2 got the RAWK thumbs up!

Agreed Pete, episode 2 was utterly brilliant. Really excited to see where this series goes.

Still can't get my head around that some of my mates won't watch this as it's subtitled. Madness.

watched the first two last night.....fuck me, episode 2 was stunning...one of the best episodes of any drama i've seen on TV.....looks like the long wait has been worth it, with dividends...

Episode 2 is up there with one of the best tv episodes Ive ever seen.

Watched them both last night.

Totally agree with @Buck Pete and @Pistolero and others. Two masterful episodes. From Ep1 in which Ciro is now in blood stepped so far that he should wade no more, to misquote Shakespeare. Fucking hell! That was grim. Then to Koln and Genny and Don Pietro in the 2nd ep. Just an incredibly compelling piece of drama. The shifting dynamics between the two characters was brilliantly executed. Not a false note throughout. Also, the sound production on this show does something quite remarkable too. I'm not technically of au fait with the jargon to completely express its brilliance, but as a tool for building excitement, unease and tension it's utterly superb. That's without mentioning the cinematography...

Wire levels of brilliance in those opening two episodes.

[RedSince86]

Any date yet for season 3?

[Daniel Cabbaggio]

Rumour is late may

Also

Spoiler

Apparently a new clan is to challenge Genny whilst Ciro is hiding out in Bucharest

[close]

[ohweloveyerbaldyhead]

I can't wait for this to come back on. Right up there with Sopranos for me as the best television ever made.

[Buck Pete]

Season 2 Episode 2 was good but for me nothing (so far) beats the finale of season 1

The last couple of scenes in particular.

Spoiler

When Malamore and the rest of the old guard busted A cool , no longer mad Don Pietro from the prison van.  My jaw was on the floor.  Fucking amazing episode and best finale of a TV season I've ever laid eyes on.

Some people said they sussed out Don Pietro was faking madness all along, but not me. I just didn't consider it and it made the ending of season 1 epic for me

Still got it on my SKY+ planner to this day.

[So… Howard Philips]

Any date yet for season 3?

After the last episode of series two I thought that it would be difficult to keep the story going, unless Genny starts to unravel like his dad and Ciro.

The drug game never stops. There is always a story to tell.

[So… Howard Philips]

The drug game never stops. There is always a story to tell.

I was thinking more of the characters. They've gone through more leading characters than a particularly gruesome Greek tragedy.
Unless Ciro makes a return or any of thge surviving street level crews move up it would need pretty much a new cast.

[Pistolero]

bastards....thought season 3 had started there for a minute!

['Mondzz']

Surprised there's not much promotion for the new season on social media or anything if it's due out this month. I'm sure season 2 was being plastered all over twitter by them.

['Mondzz']

''Riccardo Tozzi (the producer) revealed that the series will not be aired before November.''

Lazy.

I might get around to watching season before then.

[Daniel Cabbaggio]

fucksakes

Super sadness

[RedSince86]

WTF.


I thought with Sky producing the show it would be a slick operation and on time with the money being poured into it.

[BobPaisley3]

Any of you Gomorrah fans ever watch the Romanzo Criminale series? Brilliant show. If you haven't seen it, give it a go.

Agree, it is wonderful. Stylistic less gritty but overall I may even give it the edge. The characterisation is incredible.

Absolutely, Libanese is brilliantly scripted.
