Are there any other foreign shows in the same lane as this?
ZeroZeroZero is nearly as good, but it's only 8 episodes. Show was incredible tho. Same director/writer. If y'all haven't seen it, it's a must watch

Romanzo Criminale was solid

Gomorrah movie is dope

Y'all should read the Gomorrah book...shyt was :mindblown: : I remember there's a segment talking about all the asset seizures from the Caselasi Clan adding up to $5 billion+

Romanzo criminale - La serie​

Another good mobb series

Il capo dei capi​

This one is a true story. The shyt Toto Riina was pulling was :damn:
I had to keep googling while watching the show to see if it rly happened
Toto Riina for real was responsible for like 500+ deaths.

There's another drama that I can't remember the name of that's about the Mafia Wars in Sicily...it was more recent like 2017 or something. I can't remember the name of it, and I could never find it with subtitles so I couldn't really watch it. But it looked dope af

:myman:smoking on that Ciro pack tonight. :blessed:


I maintain Genny and Ciro weren't fit to be leaders. Genny made a lot of idiotic decisions in S3. Smh at letting Enzo and some dude name Pure N Simple get one over on you. They should have been identified them other nikkas have to much say and were potential problems. Also peace is never real. Always someone that is ambitious for more power.

Finished S4 which was kind of a drag and the worst season so far.

As soon as Genny handed over power to Patrizia I knew she wasn’t going to survive the season. But I also felt like they kind of took her out of character. In prior seasons she was sharp and very aware. She also knew better than to become someone’s girl, she had that convo with Annalise. Her and Mickey sending them amateurs from Forcella to take out the Levantes was a big misstep.

I hardly cared about the airport angle. But Genny knew from the beginning he could never be the face of the project so I’m not sure why he was brooding about it near the end of the season.

Ciro tried to tell Enzo he needed to be a leader, a lesson Ciro had to learn himself. He should have known Valerio was a problem and he wouldn’t have been the only one.

The Graduate had the best line all series when he stated peace wasn’t for people like them.

Ciro still being alive is utterly ridiculous and requires to much of a suspension of belief. Kind of takes away from the series for me. And then they doubled down with that escape from the Gulag.

One thing Ciro was right about is Genny being a bytch for him. Smh at hyperventilating because of another man. :scust:

You're almost to the end of it all. Nothing to glamorize in this series, which is why it's so highly-regarded, even with Ciro being The Immortal and plot armored.

But....as you've figured out by now, there are absolutely NO main characters in the entire series with morals or values. Like none. Ciro is one of the main characters, so his fukkery sticks out.

- Daniele was cool, then lured into the drug game. Killed a man because Ciro told him to do so.... Had a decent job fixing motorcycles & scooters, but ditched it as soon as easy money was offered.
- Ciro's wife? She knew what he was into for years and how far he would go. Was fine with it until her daughter almost got killed. Wasn't a problem when it was other folks' sons.
- Malamore? Killed many people, including a child.
- Patricia? Almost let her own brother drown rather than giving up information on Don Pietro.
- Enzo? Killed an honest desperate man trying to make a living for his wife and disabled son. And he knew that.
- Azzura? Gave the go-ahead to kill her own pops.
- Tiziana? Knew she was fronting the consortium and laundering mafia money.

The list is long. Of course, not including the kids in this.

Cool dude. Played the game, but underestimated what being a drug dealer, and a valuable piece of the game, really was. Wasn't he snaking his collective by dealing with Genny behind the back of them??? That's what got Rosario (Ciro's boy) beat down and then killed when he was onto Prince, remember?

He focused on the material things (cars, living spot, jewelry, clothes, a black fukking panther......) and overestimated that his money and ability to cut coke would keep him safe. Yes, he gave away toys to kids and had a black chick, but.... he didn't respect the game enough. Did deals with Ciro...and Genny. Not the smartest move.

Then, his ace and his chick warned him about security and flashing his riches so much. Of course, he responded but too late. RIP, but can't be a clean prince when surrounded by serpents.

I don't disagree with any of this and I'm not rooting for anyone in this series, they are all despicable people.

I'm about halfway through the final season and the redundant themes of the series are starting to become an annoyance so I'm glad this is the end.

Genny is back to being a dummy considering how he has handled the Ciro situation thus far and The Gentlemen's Widow. Ciro is playing chess while Genny is playing checkers. And I'm not sure why he thought desecrating the burial site after this lady just tried to kill your wife and kid was going to make her go away.

And I still look at Genny funny for considering someone that killed both of your parents and damn near killed you as a brother. As soon as he broke out of his Ciro trance he should have put a bullet in his head. Instead he imprisoned him under some goofball as Russians

Enzo is Genny pt2 on fukking steroids when it comes to Ciro. It's so bad I'm embarrassed for breh. It's absolutely shameful to be that dedicated to another man.

This series has been an endlessly cycle of:
War is go for no one let's establish peace
Peace last <24 hrs because someone always has bigger ambitions
War
Bodies are dropped and replaced and fake peace is made again

Let's see if they break this mode to close out the series.

Getting through S5 was a bit of a chore but we made it, and dare I say I felt like they stuck the landing. I'm glad they didn't p*ssy out and both Genna and Ciro took dirt naps. Genna got killed like he was an extra side character :mjlol:Ciro got hit with a headshot, Immortal that bytch nikka. It was very distracting how Ciro looked like he was pregnant all season. I'm glad they didn't spell out who killed them and didn't bother showing us who assumed power in Secondigliano because no matter who it is they won't be alive for long anyway.

Overall all good series but probably should have been 4 seasons at most. 1-3 were great, 4 and 5 were ehhh.
