I join other reviewers here who found this a compelling and emotionally intense series. Seen from a woman's perspective, the brutality, sexism and hypocrisy of the various mafia-type organizations that still permeate Italian society is both revealing and frightening. The bravery, strength and determination by all these women to remove themselves from their shackles is beyond words. What is clear is that the so-called 'honour' code and 'rules' that these bastards abide by are only adhered to when it suits them. What's truly laughable is how they portray themselves (the men mostly) as family-oriented, Catholic upholders of virtue and a 'way of life' that seems little changed from the Stone Age. Top-notch series and a must-watch!! Bravo those women who defy this system!!!
