- the decline in quality from season 1/2 is apparent but this is still the best crime show around
-I feel really sorry for the Levante daughter. She is a kind girl trapped in a family/world of psychopaths.
-they did the same mistake with Valerio that they did with Conte, they should have kept him around longer.
-for some reason I really liked the Cappacio brothers. They are the very definition of failing upward. They got their asses kicked in season 3 but ended up taking over the Arenella and Stregone's territories and people. Got their asses kicked at the start of season 4 and then used by the Levantes but then took over Forcella. Now Crazy is dead but Elia rules all of Naples except Secondigliano. I can't wait to see what happens next season, he'll probably take a few Ls but end up ruling the whole of Campania.
-the violence seems to have gone down a notch
- in real life there's no way the Levantes would have let Genny walk out of their farm alive in ep 12.
-whats the point of Gennaro hiding in a bunker if every idiot in his crew knows where the bunker is.
-the writers' hand is becoming more and more obvious and the inconsistencies are getting harder to ignore:
-one minute the clans are all powerful and enormously rich, the next they are no more than street gangs that can't scrape together a few hundred thousand euros or can't wait a month without product.
-why is the whole of Naples still depending on Genny for coke? He had a competitive advantage with the Honduran coke, but he lost that to the Federation at the start of season 3. It makes no sense that the "System" is depending on a Russian for coke. Coke flows from west to east, not the other way around. If anything the Cappacios should have inherited either the Honduran connection or Stregone and Avitabile's Calabrian friends. In real life the Calabrians are by far the biggest suppliers in Europe.
-the whole thing with Genny asking for Mistral's help makes no sense. What, he couldn't get a few guys to shoot AK 47s at a car by himself?
They hint that Mistral is a legendary old timer who is doing life. So what?
Both Stregone and Don Aniello are also legendary old timers, and they were actually on the street and had their crews intact. Mistral's underling mentions that "all his friends abandoned him", so his organization can't be anything but a remnant.
Why would Genny feel strong enough to take on the Levantes(who seem to be universally feared) and their Sicilian friends?
