JustOneCornetto Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 A slower paced episode but one where the tension just built and built. You could guess the ending but it still shocked and now Ciro and Massimo must be crapping themselves big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I think the filmmakers are quite playful with Conte's character. The homoeroticism is off the scale - his driver really should be in Hollyoaks. Plenty to tie up in the last two episodes. It's such a quality piece of work. The camera angles, the filters, the attention to detail.. but the thing that tickles me most is the tracking shots on the cars. It gives the whole thing a fluidity as the guys cruise around in their various motors (do they ever drive the same car more than once?) tracked at these weird angles - high above the car or low down offset. It makes most tv dramas seem so clunky and dated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodjesSixteenIncher Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Watched the first few episodes and can tell already that this is going to be right up my street. I remember being a bit disappointed with the film. I'd read about it being some potential classic. The setting of La Scampia and some of the other estates was pretty cool but I didn't take away much else from it. The series is already much better.

Shandon Par Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I think we need more Mrs Ciro. Judging by the amount of gunfire in the trailers next week there might be nobody left alive in Naples for a series 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneCornetto Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 What's happened to Don Pietro? maybe he's pretending to be going mad in an attempt to get a release. Didn't expect Ciro to be one step ahead of Lady Imma, shame she was 'hit'. Ciro is going to get full power one way or another and although he wants to side with Conte against the Savastano's, both their egos are too big to work with each other. Yes it looks like another bloodbath in the finale next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustOneCornetto Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Fantastic final episode, the only thing I guessed correctly was that Don Pietro was faking his mental breakdown. Thought Genny was dead but he's obviously still alive when we saw his hand twitching at the end (pretty sure he would have been wearing a bullet-proof vest).Btw Ciros's wife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodjesSixteenIncher Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Great end to the series. Maybe I'm getting carried away but that's as good a first series as any of the ones that get talked about as the great modern TV shows. Loved it. One wee plot thing that confused me though, perhaps I'm missing something: How come Ciro completely got away with spraffing about Conte's gang having the Catalonian politicians on board to Eremenko? Obviously he had to do something to get out of that room alive but setting up that deal for Conte then (temporarily) settled things with the Savastanos, Conte trused Ciro in the final episode etc. Surely when Eremenko finds out he's been taken the piss out of, it would come down the line to Conte and eventually Ciro. What a transformation in Genny, there's no holding him back now and even Ciro realises he doesn't have to nursemaid him now. Did you notice Lady Imma's smile when her previously wet son was going all gung-ho.Ciro need to learn about personal space, he can't seem to talk to anyone without going about 2 inches from their face Character is loosely based on this man.

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just getting to the end of this, last four or five episodes have been really good. These mafia c***s certainly don't f**k around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Got a few recommendations for foreign crime tv/film. Mesrine, Romanzo Criminale (film and TV series) and Cell 211. All look good on IMDB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Romanzo Criminale is good and Mesrine is excellent, the latter mainly as a vehicle for Vincent Cassel. Will check out Cell 211, I notice the poster has "Die Hard meets A Prophet" on it. A Prophet is the best of the films mentioned in this post, modern classic. Watch that as well if you haven't seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
