“Gomora” is a well-known South African television series that premiered in 2020. Your summary of the first season is quite accurate; it introduces the central theme of inequality and the collision of two very different families.

The first season’s plot is set in the wealthy suburb of Sandton and the neighboring Alexandra township. The story begins with the sudden death of a wealthy man, which leads to the downfall of his family. The matriarch of the family, Thathi, is forced to move back to Gomora, the township she left years ago. This move brings her and her children face-to-face with the Dlamini family, who are the leaders of a car hijacking syndicate and the true source of the wealth that has been funding her family’s lifestyle.

The entire first season is available for streaming on Showmax.
