Leonardo Fasoli writing / head writer. Genna' and Ciro together take out the killer of Ciro's daughter - this scene takes place in a deserted house which is decorated in a style which I can only describe as like an acid nightmare. Then Ciro's off...
Genna's new mate Gegè (Edoardo Sorgente), who was an interior designer, is now looking after the father-in-law Giuseppe's fortune, but the latter finds out he's being swindled. I feel there's going to be some knock on from Genna's Honduran mate chopping fellows up in a supermarket. There is - he's beheaded when the Dons find out Genna's tried to do a deal with the Calabrians and he's battered and essentially banished to Secondigliano (why they didn't just kill him I don't know).
Meanwhile Ciro's been in Russia, where he kills his employers (self-protection), meets some Neopolitans, helps a young girl escape and returns to Napoli. A wee bit of atonement. So much for not killing any more. It doesn't take but a minute before he's running a new gang headed by Enzo 'Blue Blood' (Arturo Muselli) and - bouff! - he and Genna' are 'brothers' again, building up a new business empire as easy as you and I can say 'fanook'. (Ciro's only agreed to help his frenemy if it's to get his wife and kid back.) Working in the old town Forcella area (next to the Spanish Quarter), the new gang takes it back from the bosses. (I'd forgotten we'd visited this area in 2013.)
However, the horrible Shanel (Cristina Donadio) has revealed to the Syndicate that Genna is behind it all, and they kidnap his child until he gets in line. He's totally on the back foot for for some uncomfortable time, and there's a tense and brilliant showdown when Enzo and Ciro have to be sacrificed so Genna can get the family back. Patrizia comes into action twice - she's gotta get a Donship or something.
But then we have that season finale where Enzo finds out one of them has killed his sister - how? (Only these two knew.) But, having nothing to live for, Ciro takes the rap and Genna has to kill him...
I keep wondering when To Rome With Love's Alessandra Mastronardi's going to show up... wrong series - it's Romanzo Criminale she's in (and Master of None).
The haircuts are looking quite Peaky Blinders - do you think they were inspired?
