Hey guys,

I’ve been thinking about starting Gomorrah, but I’m still not fully sure if it’s worth my time.

I really enjoy crime dramas with strong characters and dark, intense storylines. From what I’ve heard, Gomorrah is supposed to be very realistic and raw, not like the typical flashy mafia shows.

At the same time, I’ve also seen people say it can feel pretty slow and quite depressing, which makes me a bit unsure.

So I wanted to ask those who’ve actually watched it:

Is it worth watching all the way through?

Does it stay engaging or does it start to feel repetitive?

How would you describe the pacing and overall tone?

Is it more about the story or the characters themselves?

I’m just looking for something that really pulls me in, not just something “good but heavy for no reason.”

Would love to hear your honest thoughts 👍
