I've been telling you to watch Gomorrah for years. It's one of the best TV series ever - suspenseful, smart, sophisticated. But in the US, it's been hard to find. Now it's back - thank you, HBO Max! - and I get to sit down with the lead actor, Salvatore Esposito.
Salvatore isn't just the lead in Gomorrah (he plays Gennaro, aka Genny, Savastano). He's also a highlight of this season of Fargo (another great show), playing Gaetano Fadda, who you won't easily forget.
So! This talk with Salvatore goes down in the books, for me, as one of my favorites. It's fun. And real.
And it's in English! You'd never guess from seeing him on Gomorrah that he speaks this beautifully.
We talk:
