When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s Suburra!

Suburra 2x05 GUYS BURNING TO DEATH

Suburra 2x05 AURELIANO AND SPADINO SHAKING THEIR HEADS ‘NO' WHILE SHOPPING FOR CRIBS

Yes, romance, parenthood, racism, and the smell of burning flesh are all in the air in this episode of Suburra: Blood on Rome. Named “The Crib” after the hilariously gaudy baby furniture Spadino and Aureliano buy for the former’s forthcoming bundle of joy—at the end of a long night during which Aureliano burned the abusive cousins of his new right-hand woman Nadia to death and then dumped the corpses in front of the heads of all the Ostia crime families as a warning never to do business with “gypsies” again—this one is jam packed with everything that makes this show so goddamn good to watch.

I reviewed the fifth episode of Suburra: Blood on Rome Season 2 for Decider.
