Gomorrah (Seasons 1–5)

Gomorrah (Gomorra - La serie, 2014) is the Italian crime drama you can watch online on iFILM, and it pulls no punches. Crime runs in the family, and in Naples the family is the Savastano clan.

The story follows Ciro Di Marzo, the obedient right-hand man to godfather Pietro Savastano, as loyalty slowly curdles into ambition. Around him a fragile truce between clans starts to crack: Pietro's wife Immacolata steps into the business as ruthlessly as any man, young heir Genny grows up surrounded by guns, and street kids in the Scampia projects scheme for a seat at the table. The series is adapted from Roberto Saviano's bestseller, the book that forced its author into permanent police protection.

There is no glamour here. Just concrete tower blocks, dialect so thick it bites, and a sense that nobody walks out of this machine alive. If The Wire is your benchmark for honest gangster television, this belongs on the same shelf. Stream Gomorrah online on iFILM.
