Why we chose it

For forty years nobody could watch Giuseppe Tornatore’s debut, a five-part 1985 series about the Naples underworld, because a powerful mafioso had sued the producers for defamation. He died in 2021, and only now can it finally be seen.

Synopsis

Prison hasn’t stopped the mafia boss known as the Professor from running his organisation in Naples. His sister Rosaria takes his orders out of the cell for him. Then he walks free himself and begins building something that reaches into every level of Italian society.
