Gomorrah (2014)
The great masterpiece of modern TV crime
This was way better than the feature film of Roberto Saviano's book, which had a poor script, despite the accolades for its direction by Garrone.
The team behind all 4 series of this are far more capable. A true fusion of writing and directing talent, with a deep and profound perspective and a far clearer moral line on why crime kills and corrupts.
You care about the amazing characters like Mal'amo, Lou Stragone, Ciro, et all.
I can't wait for series 5!
The Suzy Lamplugh Mystery (2021)
Powerful and gripping
As a young woman I lived for a few years in the area of London at the time these events took place, so I found this doubly chilling.
The documentary kept the victim and her family front and centre at all times, and you got a real sense of who Suzy Lamplugh was, unlike the clichés in some newspaper coverage.
The interviewees were excellent, and the mystery of what could have happened that day tackled from every angle.
An excellent and moving piece of work. What a tragedy, but one rightly remembered.
