Overview

Gomorrah, also known as Gomorra - La serie, is an Italian crime drama television series created by Roberto Saviano for Sky Atlantic. The show is based on Saviano's bestselling book of the same name, which also served as the basis for a feature film. The narrative centers on mafia activity in Naples and provides a gritty portrait of the Neapolitan crime organization known as the Camorra. The plot is explored through the perspective of Ciro Di Marzo, who serves as the obedient and self-confident right-hand man to the clan's godfather, Pietro Savastano. The series focuses on the internal struggles that arise within the criminal organization following the imprisonment of the head of the family. The production, which ran from 2014 to 2021, is available for streaming on various platforms. Roberto Saviano, the creator of the series, has remained under armed police protection for over a decade due to his work. The television series is distinct from the historical and biblical references to the ancient city of Gomorrah located near the Dead Sea.
