Stefano Bises

Stefano Bises—now there’s a name that pops up every time someone mentions gritty Italian drama. This guy’s fingerprints are all over some of the wildest, most intense stuff to come out of Italy in the past decade. Let’s talk about his work on Gomorra: La Serie for a second. That show? Total game-changer. Forget those glamorous mafia clichés; Bises was having none of that. Instead, he dragged us into a Naples that’s raw, dangerous, and honestly, a little terrifying. The writing pulls no punches—characters you love or hate (sometimes both at once), double-crossing every ten minutes, and this relentless energy that never lets up. People got hooked, and for good reason. Jump to Il Miracolo, and suddenly you’re in a world where the impossible just sort of…happens? Bises takes this wild premise—a statue of the Virgin Mary that starts crying blood, of all things—and spins it into a whole web of political and personal chaos. There’s this underlying tension, like something’s always about to snap, and he weaves together cops, politicians, and regular folks, all losing their grip in different ways. Then there’s Esterno notte, diving into the whole drama around Aldo Moro’s kidnapping. It’s not just a history lesson—it’s messy, human, and weirdly intimate. Bises doesn’t sugarcoat a thing; he brings out all the anxiety, the paranoia, the ugly compromises. If you’re looking for someone who doesn’t shy away from the dark stuff—someone who actually seems to thrive in it—Bises is your guy. He’s made a career out of turning chaos into must-watch TV.
