I've watched it myself this week. Thought it was good and showed the great divide between the haves and have nots

I read about this a couple of weeks ago, it's on my 'will watch eventually' list. When I remember.

My missus likes costume dramas and I like football, so this is a good compromise. We're halfway through, and it's still a decent watch.

Joke aside, is it decent?
I saw the italian one, Ultras. Quite ok, even if the ”experts” said it was shite.

Am about 2/3rds through this. Had to laugh at the disclaimer at the start- no Neapolitan fans were used in this film.
Naples was ropey as fuck when we went there for the game last season

Probably due to it being "based" on Napoli's Ultras and pissing off the others?

Pretty accurate from what we saw over there loads of 40 and 50 year olds giving it the big one with their weird whistling . Probably thought it wasnt accurate as no-one was stabbed on ride by scooters.......
