Gomorrah (TV series)

Gomorrah is a 2014 Italian television crime drama series. It is based on the book Gomorrah by Roberto Saviano

Gomorrah is set in the suburbs of Naples, focusing on organised crime and the relationships of gangsters, drug dealers, and ordinary people. It offers a different style of mafia portrayal from previous series such as The Sopranos, or other Italian series like Il Capo dei Capi. Gomorrah is similar to The Wire in showing street-level crime and its hierarchical organisation from the pavement up to the office chair, and giving an audience a story about external and internal power struggles between criminals and delinquents. Described as "ugly in a good way," the series is fast-paced, concentrating on cold emotive content for dramatic effect.

Starting from 6 May 2014, Gomorrah ran on Sky Italia with approximately 1.2 million viewers per episode. Beta Film sold the rights to screen the series in more than 130 countries.

Season 2 premiered on 10 May 2016.
