Gomorrah is so popular in its native Italy that it has filtered into language and culture

The New York Times

The Italian crime drama, now streaming its third season on HBO Max, "has even infiltrated Italy’s language and culture," says Elisabetta Povoledo. "While it may not be the case, as one person involved in the production avowed, that Naples essentially shuts down when new episodes of the series debut (residents say that only happens when the soccer team is playing), in 2017 two episodes of the series were shown ahead of time to avoid conflicting with a Naples-Juventus match. Nowadays, national news media regularly identify real gangland shootouts or particularly gruesome murders as 'Gomorrah-style' executions."
