Feedback: Mansour G writes in, “Stefano Sollima, the Italian director is one of the best crime genre makers, his style is distinct and beautiful. Check out Suburra and ACAB. The second season of Romanze Criminale is almost a masterpiece and peak Italian TV, was directed by the same director of Soldado. His most recent work is an Italian mafia crime series called Gomorra that builds upon the movie of the same name. Enjoying your podcast! You are missing out on one of the best Italian/European directors out there.
