Filmmaker Joe Johnston, working from Adam Mason and Simon Boyes» screenplay, delivers an opening half hour that is, to put it mildly, less - than - engrossing, as the movie is initially concerned with the central character's work - related exploits and his company's efforts to mount a case against
a powerful mafia family.
Suburra marks the platform's first - ever Italian original series, and the first season will feature a seaside town outside Rome as it becomes a hotspot for gambling and a war zone for the
mafia, a
powerful family, and skeezy politicians, among others.
