Finished the first season of Gomorrah, a show about 'organised' crime in the suburbs of Naples.
It's much different from things like Goodfellas or The Sopranos. There is no glamour in Gomorrah, these people are trapped in this way of life, it's actually quite depressing how they have to steal, deal and murder just to survive with little hope of escape, the housing towers over its inhabitants like a prison.
Much closer in tone to The Wire than Goodfellas.
Highly recommended.
