Calibandar Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Very likely to be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Definitely looking forward to this. I really enjoyed the movie. Hopefully it will make the long wait for Gomorrah S3 more bearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Excellent. I got confused among the Italian grit crime offerings (which aren't really like the Sicilian Commissario Montalbano episodes based on a book series, for instance) but I did indeed see the Suburra movie on netflix of course, and liked it very much, as it showed the corruption nexus of Italian politics, the Roman Church and outright criminals. Dah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarGalley Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Loved the movie. Can't wait for this to come out. The young versus old clan rivalry is like a carbon copy of the Gomorrah storyline. I wonder if this is because both storylines are based on the same events or if this a common problem with Camorra clans in Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromech Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 An older article, but interesting. It may be a bit spoilery if one hasn't seen the film. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/ppvp5m/are-film-representations-of-the-italian-mafia-realistic-suburra Also interesting what Michele Placido has to say about working with Netflix and his upcoming Bad Bankers: http://variety.com/2017/tv/global/michele-placido-on-netflixs-suburra-and-his-next-project-bad-bankers-exclusive-1202546372/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The director of Gomorrah the TV series and Suburra is teaming up with Taylor Sheridan to make the sequel to Sicario. How did I not know that?

Zorral Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I started to watch the series. Only through one episode so far. It grabs you immediately. I'm a little disappointed that it is a prequel to the film. I loved the end of the film, and wanted to know so much what happens after that final scene!

Didn’t realize it was a prequel till I watched the first ep and while it was pretty damn cool seeing some of the great characters from the movie again it kind of takes away from the tension knowing how they end up.

Astromech Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Only watched the first two episodes, but Spoiler I haven't been that interested in the blackmail arc. Aureliano, Spadino and Lele cooperating doesn't work for me. They fall into the plot much too conveniently. And, despite them supposedly all being antagonistic to one another, they seem to be getting along much too easily. It simply isn't clicking for me yet. I much prefer Samurai and Cinaglia's scenes. Or the main three's scenes with their family: Aureliano and his sister, Spadino and Manfredi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice your name, Consul Mark Anthony! You must receive some gratification from this series' location in your ancient Suburra stomping grounds, where even in those ancient times they drank -- yay!

At least it did for me, just about half way, toward end, of the third episode, when I was thinking to myself, "I don't find these three youngsters at all interesting." Suddenly they were. I'm not finished yet, but I am guessing that slower build up was necessary so that we can see how these fellows somehow, who don't trust anyone, come to depend on each other, through what they have experienced together.

Not much has changed in Rome has it the actor for Samurai is different on the show right? Wish they could have gotten the same dude but the new guy does a decent enough job. Actor of Number 8 is fucking awesome imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astromech Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Ignore, the extra spoiler tags. I read an article that compared Samurai to Spoiler Slugworth from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and now I can't unsee it.
