Presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Gomorrah: The Fifth and Final Season arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Kino Lorber.
On my system the entire season looked wonderful. Delineation, clarity, sharpness, and depth were terrific during daylight and nighttime footage. However, if you begin pausing some particular areas from darker nighttime footage, you could dig up minor issues. I accidentally noticed a few while viewing the show and took screencaptures to illustrate them, but I was looking for something else. So, if you take a look at screencaptures #10 and 32, you should see that some of the blacks are plagued by artifacts. Why is that? Well, the entire season is given three discs, while the previous three seasons received four discs each. (Only the first season was given three discs). Obviously, there is room for some encoding optimizations. But the darker footage is usually quite dark, plus the locations are such that these minor encoding issues become awfully difficult to spot. Colors are outstanding. Image stability is terrific as well. All in all, while I would have preferred to see this season given four discs as well, I still think that it looks very good. (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 three standard audio tracks on this Blu-ray release: Italian DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, Italian DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0, and English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. Optional English subtitles are provided for the main feature.
I viewed the entire show with the Italian DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track and was again very impressed. Obviously, the people that are responsible for the audio mixes on all Gomorrah seasons did some pretty incredible work to ensure that the action and music create some absolutely incredible contrasts, so the consistency of these tracks is entirely predictable. The Italian DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track is very solid too, so you can view the show with it and be just as pleased. (Gomorrah: Season One had only an Italian DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track and I thought that it was terrific). The English translation is great.
It was a long wait to get the final season of Gomorrah on Blu-ray, but all of my expectations were met. Its intensity, which I wanted to be even greater than before, was almost unbearable, and the finale was simply astonishing. Also, this season introduced yet another group of powerful new characters played by actors whose work I will be following very closely now. Mimmo Borrelli, who plays Mistral, Genny Savastano's new right-hand man, became an instant favorite of mine, so I hope that he is given even bigger roles in the future. If you plan to pick up this release for your library, I would like to encourage you to get Marco D'Amore's directorial debut, The Immortal, with it as well. The feature film fits perfectly between Season Four and Season Five, and very effectively prepares for the grand clash in the latter. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
