10 Essential Binge-Worthy TV Dramas You Might've Missed
10. Gomorrah
Approximate Running Time: 586 minutes It's been nearly ten years now since HBO's flagship gangster drama The Sopranos finished airing on television, leaving a Mafia-shaped hole in scheduling which has remained largely unfilled - that is, until the arrival of Sky Italia's Gomorrah. Based on the book by Roberto Saviano - and loosely on the film of the same name, which picked up the Grand Jury Prize at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival - Gomorrah delves into the milieu of Italian organized crime and those sucked into its orbit. Covering the range of hierarchical organization, its primary focus is on boss's son Gennaro "Genny" Savastano and his friend and right hand man Ciro Di Marzio. Considerably faster paced than the somewhat langorous film, Gomorrah is a must for fans of violent, unpredictable crime dramas, with cinematography that evokes the squalor and splendour of Naples and fine performances from a convincing ensemble cast.
