Mafiosa
By the will of her dead uncle who was murdered Sandra Paoli (Hélène Fillières), is propelled to the head of a powerful mafia clan. She becomes a respected, but also hated, woman in a world of men, murder and criminality. Backed up by her brother, she learns how to assert herself in a very violent world. To rise to the occasion, the young woman will have to seduce, manipulate, and reinvent the clan in its own way. According to several media sources, the character Sandra is actually an adaptation of the current life of the Corsican widow Sandra Casanova-Germani whose brother Jean-Luc Germani is the most wanted man in France. The series contains violence and political schemes.
If you’re searching for a series that combines thrilling action, deep character development, and a captivating storyline, look no further than Antimafia Squad (original title: Squadra antimafia – Palermo oggi). This Italian television series immerses viewers into the gritty world of organized crime as it chronicles the struggles between law enforcement and the Mafia in Palermo. With eight seasons and a total of 74 episodes, this show has successfully captured audiences’ attention since its premiere in 2009.
At the center of this gripping narrative are two powerful women: Claudia Mares, played by Simona Cavallari, who serves as the vice chief of police at an elite anti-mafia squad; and Rosy Abate, portrayed by Giulia Michelini, a young woman linked to one of Italy's oldest criminal clans. Their complex relationship forms the emotional core of the series, showcasing not just their professional rivalry but also their shared tragic past. As Claudia leads her team through turbulent investigations and dangerous confrontations with organized crime, viewers witness how personal histories intertwine with broader societal conflicts.
The first season sets a thrilling tone right from its debut episode when Claudia steps into her role after Lauria’s murder, leading her new team on an urgent hunt for his killer. The stakes rise dramatically as mafia families engage in violent turf wars; Episode 2 depicts brutal retaliation from both sides as loyalties are tested. Each episode masterfully escalates tension while simultaneously peeling back layers on its characters’ motives—an outstanding feat for any drama series.
