Block 181 (Italian: Blocco 181) is an Italian drama television series created for Sky. The series is set in Milan and follows a ménage à trois between two men and a woman.[1]

Plot

The peripheral area of Block 181 is controlled by the boys of the Block, led by the boss Nicola Rizzo. The arrival of the Misa's pandilleros upsets the balance and leads to a clash for supremacy in the territory in an increasingly growing rivalry. Within this rivalry, a love is born that unites the factions: Bea, the Misa boss's sister, Ludo, one of the couriers of cocaine lord Lorenzo, and Mahdi, Rizzo's nephew. Thanks to this relationship, the three carve out their place in the neighborhood criminal system.
