Apologies for bringing this to your attention so late in the series but I hope with the wonders of catch up tv you can go back and watch the entire series before the season finale next week.

It's wonderfully dark and gitty. A very simple story wonderfully told about a criminal family in Naples and their battles with other families. Ciro for me is the star - I can't wait to see how it plays out in the season finale next week.

Up until a few weeks ago I was thinking that I preferred Romanzo Criminale but the way the story has evolved over the last few weeks this could be better.

I've recorded the whole series but haven't got around to watching any of it yet; the recommendation helps - I'll pull my finger out and give it a go!

Been watching this since it started, and definitely one of my fave shows of the year. The battle with other families is great, but it's the internal battles that I find so intriguing and watchable.

Spot on Mike. This week in particular I did not see coming. Interesting end with Dad being assessed - you think he might make an appearance 'outside' next week?

There will be some big twist for the season finale I'm sure, whether it's with Pietro or Gennaro/Ciro, I can't decide yet.

I just hope they do a 2nd season, as it's definitely one of the best and underrated shows on at the moment.

If Ciro makes it out of this season alive then he is a very clever man.

I think Pietro is 'putting it on' with the hope of being moved to a less secure unit.

Me too - a second season would be brilliant. With how popular it was in Italy and how well it has been sold overseas they'd be mad not to.

I won't divulge what happened last night as I don't want to spoil it for anybody.

A finish to the season which the season deserved. If you haven't seen it then please go back and watch it. If another one is never made then we had a fitting conclusion but we were also left with a great potential starting point for another season.

Not much on the box tonight, so I will be catching up with the finale of this - sounds like it will defo be worth a watch!

Finally watched the first 2 episodes and I like it; not quite as kitchen sink or snappy as The Sopranos - its edgier and grimier and an altogether different beast. Enjoying it though, and I like the concentration required to watch a show with subtitles - I fully expect to be fluent in Italian by the end of the series.

Going to watch episode 9 tonight. Absolutely superb TV and I can't wait to see in which direction it goes next. Already know something I shouldn't through reading the thread but I wanted to mention it on here anyway.

As I'm sure you are aware they start filming Season 2 next month and it will air August/September time.
