My overall rating of "Gomorra: La serie"'s Season 3: 2/10
In a way, this is a fittingly absurdist ending to this already absurd season. A bunch of characters die, some unrealistically (in the "Gomorra: La serie"'s universe human beings must be simultaneously incredibly dense to stop bullets exiting their bodies and yet very brittle to die with certainty after being hit hard in the face 5÷10 times), some stupidly, via plot so convoluted it is metaphorically fellating itself like a sex-Jormugandr... No, actually, both of these apply for all the fatalities, come to think of it.
Honestly, the negotiations about Gennaro's coke make it clear to me that the writers don't even remember what the story is at this point, and that was in the 4th episode of this season! Oh, for Christ's sake, the only good thing about this episode is that the series' criminal romaticism is given another slight chance to shine, but as the absence of that romanticism is what made Season 1 so brutal and compelling perhaps they needn't have bothered - just another sign of the series' waning.
