Second season of the Italian series Suburra starts on February 22nd

The series is based on the book of the same name, which shows a little about the world of the mafia in modern times.

If you enjoy long marathons in front of the TV, computer, or even your smartphone, it's worth checking out "Suburra: Blood on Rome." The second season will be released on Netflix on February 22nd.

Suburra is a Netflix original series made in Italy that tackles typical themes expected from an Italian production, such as family loyalty and, of course, the mafia. The series depicts the power struggle in Rome, a corrupt city already completely corrupted in all its sectors: politics, the Church, and the police. The series features three protagonists – Dionisi, Bernardini, and Borghi – who drive the story through the darkest possible means.

The series is based on the book of the same name, written by authors Giancarlo De Cataldo and Carlo Bonini, which shows a little about the world of the mafia in current times, in which mafiosi have given way to drug traffickers and corrupt politicians. In fact, one of the authors also participates in the series' script, which helps to bring more fidelity to the original work.

In addition to the book, there is also a 2015 film that uses the same elements as the series, made in 2015. If you want to know a little more about the universe of the current Roman mafia before watching the series, it's worth checking out the film . Suburra won a lot of praise with its first season, especially when it came to photography and production.
