Suburra is a grand opera. High emotions ... high drama .... corruption ... violence .. and love... love of money ... love of power!
I will be honest I tried watching it a couple of times but only got a few minutes in and gave up but then somehow it hooked me.
The performances of the lead actors are scary, mesmerising and intense but is Giacomo Ferrara as Spandino who stands out.
His character lives with a duality he must hide.
Whereas I found Gomorrah good but predictable Suburra darts off in surprising and unexpected ways keeping the viewer unsure as the sands shift and power ebbs and flows.
S1 takes you on a ride... S2 just ups the pace!
