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. |
I haven't read the book, but I really like Matteo Garrone's 2008 film with the same name as the TV adaptation. If you haven't seen it, it is one of the best crime movies ever made and is very similar to your description of the TV show.
