DVD review: Gomorrah (4 out of 5)
Season one’s ending was explosive, with a brutal massacre, Genny, the son of criminal king Don Pietro Savastano, shot by once loyal right-hand man Ciro and Don Pietro in a prison break-out.
The new season is straight back into the action as the era of the Savastano clan appears to be ending.

Ciro (Marco D’Amore), whose dynamic as mentor to Genny (Salvatore Esposito) was a captivating feature of the first season, is still fighting to end their reign.
Drug baron Conte is also hoping to be the new king, with Ciro appearing to be on his side.
Who will win as the top criminals vie for power?
Nothing is as it seems in this universally acclaimed and realistic look at the underworld in the backstreets of Naples.
