    Gomorrah’s story doesn’t break any new ground in the way it’s structured (a powerful Don, his ruthless wife, their soft son, and a young upstart who could change everything), but the way it tells its story is a new and refreshing twist on the genre.

We see the extreme brutality that takes down innocents as well as opponents in the criminal world. We hate to love and love to hate the characters in this very well acted drama.
