“Suburræterna” is a series directed by Ciro D’Emilio and Alessandro Tonda. It stars Giacomo Ferrara, Filippo Nigro, and Carlotta Antonelli. It is based on the novel by Carlo Bonini and Giancarlo De Cataldo.
Sequel to “Suburra: Blood on Rome”, this series takes us to Ostia, where several criminal organizations vie for control of the city of Rome. The series explores all levels of corruption, from the lowest criminals to the world of politics, in a city where little seems to have changed since the Roman Empire.
Series Review
If “Suburra: Blood on Rome” was a major success, this sequel undoubtedly draws from the narrative elements that made the first season so popular: an intrigue that reflects corruption at all levels, and with a touch of Shakespeare and a lot of corruption from the Roman Empire, it provides us with an incredibly entertaining continuation.
Many of the main characters return, delivering more of what audiences want, and that’s no small feat considering it’s one of the most successful TV series in Italy in recent years. The secret? Perhaps it’s the combination of classicism with neorealism, along with characters that seem real, offering us well-crafted fiction that is believable. After all, deep down, we all believe to some extent that everything is truly rotten.
A criminal thriller, a drama, and a social history that will surely continue to please fans of the original series.
Enjoy this excellent series, “Suburræterna,” which you can watch on Netflix starting in November.
