Just been reading through this thread. Gomorrah is the best tv ever made in my opinion. before the series there was the film which is not as good but the series does reference it a couple of times so worth watching if you want the right order. Watch the first three series and then make sure you watch Immortal the film (outstanding film) before moving into the next series. It actually is very important to the story line. The final episode just enjoy the music on the end credits as you do miss that tune once you realise the show is over. A true masterpiece. Subbura - even more important to watch the film (again a brilliant piece of film making) beige watching the series as the characters in the film do appear or get referred to in the series. This has all the potential to be another gem until Netflix pulled the plug and the ending fell off a Cliff. Still worth watching as the acting is top notch. The outsider - first couple of episodes were brilliant but this just ends up being almost fit be to shown on the sci-fi channel. HBO bosses renewed it and then cancelled it (probably after watching it)

"I thought zerozerozero was pretty dark and a hard watch at times, but I suppose that's the reality of that world. Definitely worth a watch with it just being the one series."

"Your Honor, season 1 Esp 1, looked liked it was setting up a brilliant show but descended into the most ridiculous unbelievable storyline ever. Can't believe they got a second season. Not on my short list to watch."

"Oh ok, yeah we got more race swapping on the way along with disability inclusion and a gay storyline so can’t imagine it’s staying too faithful to the game for long, other than the main plot lines from A to B. If you noticed aswell Joel is being set up on the ships to be more of an asshole than the game so they can justify the part 2 abomination."

No. I pointed out the race swapping before watching. Other than that it was pretty true to the game and very well done. Unfortunately the second game went woke so it’s going to follow.

"Anyone seen the HBO mini-series from a couple of years ago called The Outsider, with Jason Bateman? Stumbled across it and looks like it could be decent?"

The Last Of Us. Never could get into the game. But the first episode is very good. Looks like HBO has another winner on its hands.!
