Mafia: "Despect An organized group that tries to defend their interests without too much scruples", a definition of Dictionary of the SAR that encompasses a good part of the behavior of those who reached the social, political and economic cusp.
Naturally, televisions have found in mafia stories an inexhaustible vein and some have already entered the audiovisual Olympus. Suffice to remember titles like The Sopranos, The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, Criminal Rome, Suburra, Peaky Blinders, Sons of Anarchy, Crematorium, Gomorrah ... Add to the list Infiltrated in the mafia (Amazon).
The simple reference to these titles explains that the mafias are universal and that the base of their operations is focused on two basic activities: drugs and urban speculation, a key element in laundering the extraordinary benefits of trafficking in the former. There is a third essential element: the collaboration of politicians. That one of the so-called vulture funds (its name already explains its essence) raise 300% the rent of a modest apartment that it acquired with the collaboration of the local political authorities justifies that academic definition of "organized group that tries to defend its interests without too many scruples. "
In Infiltrated in the mafia It shows the daily life of a powerful family of 'Ndrangheta, the criminal organization of Calabria, which controls the port of Gioia Tauro, that is, the entry of all types of legal and illegal goods. An undercover agent, Marco Pagani, with the code name of Solo, will reach the top of the Corona family and at a given moment he must choose between law and greed, even though they are often interrelated.
We speak of an excellent series shot in natural settings and without mystifications. Protagonists and secondaries conform perfectly to the narration. People and landscapes refer to the longed for authenticity above artificial cannons of beauty. Primal action and feelings. The "family" comes first and its defense, the justification of violence. A single fault: none of its eight chapters, divided into two seasons, falls below 90 minutes per delivery.
