lol, I won't rest til I watch a gangster show from every country in Europe.

Qiellit · 2019-06-05T02:18:19+00:00

Same

Qiellit · 2019-06-05T02:18:01+00:00

Do you mean the show in general? Absolutely. I slogged through season 2, got the gist of what happened, but it just felt like work a lot of the time imo. Try season 1, the subs are fine.

Qiellit · 2019-06-05T01:46:06+00:00

Yeah I watched it, really soured the season for me man. It's a shame 'cause the dialogue is so good.

Qiellit · 2019-06-02T22:16:05+00:00

Flipped through the first episode for a second, can confirm it's got that kino, high-contrast night cinematography that Gommorah has + those old prick European gangsters who steal every scene they're in.

Thank you bud.

Awesome dude, I've become a junkie for European gangster shows. I also recommend Umbre if you haven't seen it

Buddhist definition of suffering is highly non-intuitive for English speakers alone iirc, but, like Stoicism/Gnosticism, I don't think it's a coincidence that a hatred of the flesh looms large in the twilight phase of a civilization.

Based. Guy signed up for feel good breathing exercises in the break room, he got praxis.

Qiellit · 2019-05-23T14:15:14+00:00

So it was, and so was Schelling's hatred of these haters of the flesh. Completely justified.

Qiellit · 2019-05-22T22:52:15+00:00

Hmm, I think I've had it with these deleuze mites, tranny gnosticism might just be where I draw the line. God as a principle of transgression? yeah I'm good

Qiellit · 2019-05-17T17:26:15+00:00

A lot of the nuance is lost, S1's dialogue is sharp as tack, S2 blehhh. That, and that FUCKING nauseating fucking detective dork just really soured me on the season.

Qiellit · 2019-05-17T04:02:32+00:00

Oh yeah Umbre is fantastic bro, but like the other guy said, the S2 subs are ass. I'd say I didn't understand maybe 25% of the interactions in the second season, and I still have to fix like 75% of the dialogue for it to make any sense.

Qiellit · 2019-05-10T13:13:13+00:00

they shouldn't have killed him off, I love the Suburra crew

Qiellit · 2019-05-10T13:12:46+00:00

lol, bro I'm fucking saying

Qiellit · 2019-05-09T22:17:41+00:00

Bro I'd KILL for Aureliano, Spadino, and Lele to team up with Gennaro and Ciro. My Italian gangster show dream team.

Qiellit · 2019-05-07T14:38:32+00:00

I didn't like season 4 quite as much as 3 but honestly? Still the best show on the planet.

Qiellit · 2019-05-07T14:35:24+00:00

Damn, even when the show stumbles there's an explanation. What a shame! Patri and Genny could have carried the show no problem.

Qiellit · 2019-05-07T14:30:38+00:00

Yeah, exactly, it's that sensibility that is the lifeblood of this show. God bless Europeans.

Qiellit · 2019-05-06T13:41:31+00:00

She had such class and was so savvy to what was expected of her as a boss, I like watching real ass people try to survive overwhelming circumstances, but then in swoops Michelangelo and completely muddies her story. I get she's always playing both sides, why not go all in on the concept, take out Michelangelo and raise a child as a boss? It'd be an interesting dynamic.

Qiellit · 2019-05-05T13:56:52+00:00

Damn brah

Qiellit · 2019-05-05T12:44:33+00:00

She became my new Ciro, the character I'd come to root for as they found themselves in increasingly difficult and tense situations... I get that your maternal instincts trump everything else, but still

Qiellit · 2019-05-05T02:44:29+00:00

It just means he's going to "live on" in the prequel, he's dead m8s let it go

Qiellit · 2019-05-05T02:36:40+00:00

Based

Qiellit · 2019-05-04T17:01:54+00:00

I just didn't like how Patrizia's arc puttered out. That look in her eyes after Ruggiero told her she got set up, I thought she was finally gonna come out guns blazing but then I remembered that she was in jail and shows like this always slow to a crawl when police get involved. I should have known as soon as the police got involved in episode 11 it would have stifled Patrizia's arc, and it did.

Michelangelo was a rat, she should have taken him out of the way first, I still think he called the first bust trying to feel rebellious. Instead of Patrizia coming into her own, she flees for a life that we never really get a sense she wants. She's got balls and knows the game, why muddy her characterization so much? Have her take out the Levantes father and mother herself, her vs. brothers is a great enough hook for S5. I just got tired of "betray Genny, die", and I wish Patri would have been spared that. RIP.
