Suburra: Blood on Rome – Saturday 7th February 2026 (?)

I started watching this because I loved ‘Gomorrah’ (La Serie), and felt like more of the same. Also, I thought the setting of Rome would be grander and more epic.

Obviously, it wasn’t as good as ‘Gomorrah’, and I never expected it to be, and because of the limited use of locations, Rome didn’t look that impressive either.

That said, there was enough meat on the bones to keep me watching for all three seasons, and to be fair, it was a good watch, which I enjoyed.

The main problem with the show, was the fact that none of the characters were that likeable! They were all corrupt and self-centred, so there’s no clear hero. ‘Aureliano’ who’s clearly the main character, is a d!ck most of the time; as are the rest of the characters!

I’ve since discovered that this series is a spin-off of a movie that came out a few years before the show, and the show is actually a prequel! So I’m looking forward to watching the film next.
Not sure if I’ll watch the follow-up show, ‘Suburraeterna’, as reviews seem poor, but we’ll see.

That said, I still have a hunger to see more Italian crime dramas!
