What BollyAI Thinks
Season 2 arrived in February 2019 with eight episodes and a tighter narrative aperture, deepening the political corruption storyline through Amedeo Cinaglia while keeping the street-level criminal triangle intact. The 89 percent Rotten Tomatoes score reflected a critical consensus that the series had maintained its ambition and formal discipline without significant decline. The reduction from ten to eight episodes was broadly read as a structural improvement, concentrating the show's sociological argument. The performances remained the series' load-bearing asset: Borghi and Ferrara's chemistry had, by this point, generated a genuine fan following beyond the Italian market.
