"Gomorrah: Season Two" (2016) arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Kino Lorber. The only bonus features on the release are original trailers for the other seasons in the series. In Italian or English, with optional English subtitles for the main feature. Region-A "locked".
We go separate ways now.
Presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Gomorrah: Season Two arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Kino Lorber.
The twelve episodes of Season One were placed on three discs. On this release, the twelve episodes of Season Two are placed on four discs, and I think that this made a difference because this time I could not spot even a whiff of aliasing on my system. In fact, I did not encounter any issues to report in our review. Delineation, sharpness, clarity, and depth looked terrific, while the existing spectrum of colors is simply breathtaking. (For what it's worth, I think that the series might have been finalized in 4K, so all of this content can probably look even a tad more impressive). Image stability is outstanding. All in all, Gomorrah is an incredible production that looks superb on Blu-ray. (Note: This is a Region-A "locked" Blu-ray release. Therefore, you must have a native Region-A or Region-Free player in order to access its content).
There are four standard audio tracks on this Blu-ray release: Italian DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, Italian DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0, English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, and English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. (For what it's worth, the bulk of the dialog is actually in Neapolitan, and plenty of it incorporates some local slang). Optional English subtitles are provided.
I spent plenty of time going back and forth between the Italian DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and 2.0 tracks because on Season One there was only an Italian DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track. In a few of the mass action scenes there is definitely more happening on the 5.1 track, but I still think that the 2.0 track is superb. Honestly, folks, it is up to you to decide which track to use, but I just can't imagine how you can be even partially underwhelmed if you choose to view all episodes with the 2.0 track. The English translation is excellent.
If you have been sitting on the sidelines unsure whether to give Gomorrah a chance, it is time that you pick up Season One and Season Two for your library. (Season Three and Season Four are coming soon as well). It is an incredible series I would rank way ahead of The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire, Braquo and Romanzo Criminale. I can't imagine how you can be disappointed by it because it gets absolutely everything right, even the Neapolitan lingo that you will hear if you gather the courage to visit some of the areas where its characters clash. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
