Gomorrah (2014–2021)
9/10
My first and probably last review - because of Gomorra's season 3 finale
31 October 2019
My review is not going to add a lot to most that are already written here. But I just had to write this. I'm 52, and I've seen a lot of movies, series and theatre/plays in my life. Hundreds. Thousands maybe.

With that in mind, I am convinced that S3E12 is the best piece of acting, cinematography and screenwriting that I have ever seen. By far. I'm aware this is a matter of taste, not a fact, but I just have to share this, hoping to convince readers to go with Gomorra's flow and let it blow you away. For days or even weeks after watching it.

I won't share the (essential) spoiler in the season 3 finale. In the episode's final 15 minutes, the dark side of mankind, deep compassion, unbelievable cinematography, death, deep hate and love come together... I can't find the words. It's even erotic in a disturbing way. Have watched it a dozen times now and I just have to watch it again and again. Can't get it out of my head.

Have seen all four seasons (and the fourth season is a bit weaker than the previous three, therefore 9 out of 10) and all 48 episodes are outstanding (seriously), with the 36th as the series' magnificent highlight. Can't wait for the fifth season. I wish I could thank the creators and actors in person. Unbelievable.

Finally: the moment at the end of each episode, when 'that track' starts again, and you know it's going to happen. What's going to happen? Start watching and you'll know what I mean
