WarGalley Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I still haven't seen Season 4 but am starting this thread so ya'll can post here instead of in the Watch, Watching, Watched thread. It will be easier to find the commentary later when I catch up instead of trying to comb that thread and I do want to read people's reactions to all of the episodes. I don't intend to return to this thread until after I finish Season 5. However since Season 5 is still kind of new and people may still be working through it, can we spoiler tag by Episode # or just state "All S5" for spoilers referencing the series finale?

briantw Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Smart move, as there were at least three or four of us talking about this in the other thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I was slightly disappointed with the ending, and the final season in general. Still an all time great show though. One of my main gripes is that Spoiler Enzo’s death felt pretty pointless if Genny and Ciro were just going to reconcile in the end anyway. Both the writers and Genny did him dirty. Overall I’d probably rank it like this: S1 & S2 = absolute masterpieces S3 = Fantastic, but not quite on par with the first couple seasons. Which is understandable without Don Pietro S4 & S5 (+ The Immortal) still extremely entertaining, but a fairly significant drop off in quality from the earlier seasons In the end I’m still pretty on the fence as to whether or not it was the right decision to Spoiler Bring back Ciro. On one hand I can’t really blame them for wanting Marco D’Amore back. But it also led to kind of a sloppy final season. And Genny totally ruined the feels from the final scene of The Immortal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarGalley Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Ok, I'll bite real quick before this thread blows up. Is there any specific point where you should watch The Immortal? I vaguely recall asking this question before but don't remember if it was before S4, inbetween S4 and S5 or if it doesn't really matter.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end of The Immortal basically takes place around the start of episode two of the fifth season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Finally finished watching Season 5. For now all I'll say is this is the best opera production I've attended in a very long time, with the separate aria duets, right down to the grand love-in-death finale.

briantw Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Not sure which episode this spoils in particular, so general season five spoilers: Spoiler Did anyone find it weird that, when Ciro comes back and reveals himself to Enzo, Enzo completely forgets about the fact that Ciro supposedly killed his sister? I kept waiting for it to be brought up and it just never was. You'd think there'd at least be a moment where Ciro reveals it wasn't him and was actually Genny.

Ramsay B. Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Season spoilers Spoiler Yeah, I really don’t understand Enzo’s loyalty to Ciro as a whole, and I even forgot about his sister being killed(I should’ve really watched a s3-4 recap). The more I think about the last season, the more questions come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Enzo was such a waste of a good character. Turning him into a Ciro fanatic was disservice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Ha! I -- and my best buddy -- saw a very different season 5 than you all did. We had different questions too. However, we agreed with each other about half way through, and thus agree with you, that at some point the writers fell in love with Ciro, and turned him from a fascinating flawed tragic figure, into a superhero comic figure. I think I mentioned that way up above in the comments here. Spoiler Thank goodness they at least kept their senses and had him die anyway, along with Genny, as has to be the finale of any tragic, grand opera. Just as the Judas at the Last Supper bloodbath survived, yet died another day. This is such a Roman Catholic series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I watched up to episode 8 and then a did multiple week pause before the final 2 shows because I just wasnt ready for my Gomorrah journey to be over. It's been 5 entertaining seasons, plus the Immortal movie between 4 and 5, what a ride. I've heard it described as the Ducati of gangster shows, sounds perfect to me.
