Featured review
So I have watched Gomorrah, sorry. Subarra looks like a series that children watch compared to Gomorrah. It has many things that are looking the same, but it still has it's own vibe and there is big difference. It is like the criminal organisation and how it works has less attention and it is more about the politics and that everybody is dirty. It is a bit difficult fo rme to explain.
The story is sometimes cheesy and it is not hard to figure out what will happen. There are things happening that make you think like: huh? That does not make much sense. There are also some weird combinations and some relations are feeling forced.
Sometimes it feels more like a soap and the gangs are not real. Also with Samurai and the people above him. I never get a real sense of urgency. For me there is also not enough character development. But I must say some actors/actresses really play their part well and believable.
So overall it is a bit over the top with the drama and it got it's flaws but is it bad? No, it is a good effort .And I was hooked, I bingewatched it. So that's an extra point. So I have given Gomorrah a 10 so I can give this show an 8. Ohterways I must give Gomorrah a 9 and this show a 7, but that is not enough credit I think. So a solid 8.
