On the council overseeing the land’s sale sits none other than poor Father Theodosiou (whom the boys affectionately refer to, in the show’s game if occasionally inaccurate subtitles, as Friar Fuck).

Their scheme soon reveals greater riches to be had: a parcel of land in Rome’s seaside neighborhood, Ostia, being sold by the Vatican. They are brought together by their joint blackmailing of a priest, Father Theodosiou, who, in the show’s opening scene, suffers a heart attack while participating in an orgy organized in his honor. It follows three fledgling criminals: Lele, the drug-dealing son of a Roman policeman Aureliano, the son of a mid-level Ostiense mobster and Spadino, the scion of a Sinti mafia family. Though technically a prequel to a film of the same name directed by Stefano Sollima, itself adapted from a novel by Giancarlo De Cataldo and Carlo Bonini-a judge and a journalist, respectively-the series far outshines both. In the scene’s final moments, Aureliano closes his eyes and floats as Spadino watches him.Įven amidst Rome’s gaudy beauty, the staccato bursts of violence, and the elaborately choreographed sex scenes-particularly the show’s opening orgy, which resembles a tangle of deviant, writhing Bernini sculptures-the surprising and ultimately tragic intimacy that develops between Aureliano and Spadino stands out as one of Suburra’s great pleasures, setting it apart from the plodding, grisly portentousness of contemporary prestige crime dramas such as Narcos. Afraid to give himself away, he pats the mud on Aureliano at arm’s length, resisting when Aureliano tries to return the favor. When he asks Spadino to rub some of the spring’s mud on a part of his back he can’t reach, it is clear in the look that flashes across Spadino’s face that he is in love with Aureliano.

By this point, their mutual suspicion and contempt has given way to friendship, and as they sit and soak, Aureliano asks Spadino how things are going with his wife, intuiting that all is not well, though blithely unaware why. They are an unlikely pair: Aureliano Adami, a sadistic, nativistic, homophobic MMA enthusiast and Spadino Anacleti, a closeted Sinti whose family is at odds with Aureliano’s. While waiting for the cover of night to kidnap and blackmail a priest, two young Italian mobsters-principal characters in Suburra: Blood on Rome, an excellent new crime series from Netflix and RAI-kill time in a volcanic spring outside town. Giacomo Ferrara as Spadino and Alessandro Borghi as Aureliano in Suburra, 2017
