Everything about this production is top shelf. It's unpredictable, much like the Sopranos. But it's got more grit and is faster paced than The Sopranos. The dread story weaves and surprises with violent deaths around every corner. There are what seems to be hundreds of locations, Naples revealed. The colour and understanding of colour is brilliant, movie quality. The characters are decidedly unpleasant and truly bad, but one is drawn into their fates as if by magic, testimony to the quality of the actors and their direction. The soundscape is modern and sharp, heightening the tension. If you have a soft spot for Europe and European drama, then you have possibly just found television nirvana.
