## Synopsis

Gomorrah (2014-2021) is an Italian crime drama series created by Roberto Saviano and produced for Sky Atlantic. Based on Saviano's bestselling book, the five-season serialized saga follows Ciro Di Marzio (Marco D'Amore), the obedient and self-confident right-hand man of Pietro Savastano (Fortunato Cerlino), the godfather of a Neapolitan clan within the Camorra. Gennaro Savastano (Salvatore Esposito) and Patrizia Santoro (Cristiana Dell'Anna) add family and rival pressures to the central dynasty. The engine of each season is the constant maneuvering for territory, drug markets, and succession, with alliances breaking under violence and betrayal. Episodes are made of gritty negotiations, turf wars, and quiet power plays set in the poor districts of Naples. The tone is harsh, sober, and tense, with a brutal everyday menace that never lets up. Fans of The Sopranos, Peaky Blinders and Suburra will find resonance in its portrait of criminal dynasties and the cost of loyalty. Across its run the series moves through a dense web of family ambition and organized crime, rewarding viewers who enjoy serialized crime sagas rooted in real places.
