La Piovra (Octopus in English) is an 80s Italian TV series about mafia. It was a huge hit in Europe, and Eastern Europe especially. I wasn't allowed to watch the first two seasons because I was too young, but I saw seasons 3 to 5 at secondary school. About a half year ago I re-discovered it and fell in love again. I don't like violence, but this is so well done in all aspects (script, acting, production) that I make an exception.
I was familiar with the (superb) Czech dubbing, but decided to get it in original with English subtitles. Which only exists in Australia (also in the US, but they cut the episodes to 45 minutes, and I'm no fan of such editing). Australia is region 4. I usually watch DVDs on my laptop, and you can only switch regions five times, and as much as I love this series I'd like to watch something else one day as well. So I learned how to convert DVDs to a region-less version and... I thought I might do covers for them.
This is the result.
