Many friends told me to watch it.
But I was not so motivated as it was in italian langage and I thought it would be a low-cost production.But I tried and Oh My God, it's incredible !!!The actors are great and become better and better season after season.The show is really intense, definitely one of the best serie I've seen.

What can I say that the other 9/10 star reviews haven't said? Well for a start ignore anything below 7, even those are unfair. This series is so realistic it's hard to believe these guys are actors and not real gangsters.I've never seen the original film so can't compare this series to it but it if it's even half as good I want to asap! I wish I could speak Italian as I'm sure I'm missing something in the translation but not much.I don't need to give you a plot outline, many others have done so already. If you haven't watched it yet I strongly suggest you do. If you loved the Sopranos then you'll love this even more. If I could give it 15 out of ten I would.

a true depiction of gang life, very real, very raw. i had mixed emotions about the first season, i wished the series went in a direction more favorable to the lead actor, 2nd in command Ciro. however, it went the way it did and major drama, betrayal and violence was the result, making it addicting to watch. the acting of each character, big or small was truly believable, each scene made you feel as if you were a part of the story; as part of the gang or an innocent bystander. the series had many characters, in some shows it would be too many, but the way the story was told each character no matter how important their role, made you feel for their individual situations and each character was crucial to the unfolding of events. i felt the acting, plot, set, characters,and cinematography all added up to create an excellent show.to note, i felt the decorating of the boss' homes was awesome, I grew up with many Italians and the ones with money had interiors just the same.
