Having watched all previous series of Gomorra i thought this was an excellent movie, acually i was hoping this was a double bill for the followup series of Gomorra. It really gives an insight into Ciro's backstory and you could see the tortured soul of Ciro after what happened to him( and his family) in the last series of Gomarra. I couldnt believe this film was approx two hours long, it was gripping from start to finsh I wasn't expecting the climax at the end and i wait with baited breath on serries 5 of Gomarra . Loved this film with the storyline and and how it all ties up with his prevoius life in Naples.

I have watched the first four episodes, and it just dawned on me, is this all a big spoof show. Between repeated scenes and the two main' actors' telling us repeatedly about their high tech equipment and how to get into Escobar's inner circle. I have started to doubt whether the two main presenters have been in the CIA. A waste of good viewing time.

As a keen follower of anything historical I was looking forward to watching this series and as far as the factual content, it was as near as you'll get (allowing for a certain amount of artistic licence). I found it enjoyable watching the dramatization of our yesteryear instead of reading academic history books, which at times, no-matter how interested you are in the subject matter it can be a heavy reading. The core storyline was very interesting and shows the influence the women had, and the conventions that was followed in this period of our history. I thought the acting was very good and to counter one other review I thought the dialogue was in keeping with that period. What unfortunately let it down big style, was the location settings. The castle grounds/courtyard where so much of the action happened, was not authentic looking at all and when I checked up where the 'The White Queen' was filmed it was in Belgium !! What a let down,- when you think of all the magnificent location's in England e.g.. castles etc. or even anywhere in the UK it could've been filmed. I can only imagine it must have been cheaper to film in Belgium than the UK. To me this was a major flaw in the series. . I thought the storyline and subplots were absolutely riveting watching and you really had to sit glued to the TV encase you missed something.

Next time employ the location manager of Downtown abbey and you will then have a 10 out of 10 review

I must admit i like watching all the old westerns, enjoyable enough, would be a candidate for a remake (without the singing). Good storyline but the singing holds it back from being a better western movie. I would rate it a version of a type of Roy Rodgers movie. Unfortunately the only actor i rate as below par is the main star himself, not believable as a cowboy as well as his sidekick Shiloh, but i'm sure there must have been a reason to cast these two actors. All the other actors/actresses have made a successful career since this movie and it is quite interesting reading to see how some of them have made it,especially the two female actresses .
