Synopsis
Omerta (which means code of silence) was a Canadian television drama series set in Montreal that chronicles a battle between the police and the Mafia. The police rely on inventive and unorthodox methods in their fight against the mobsters who follow their code loyally and cherish their family.
Commercial success
Omerta was the second most popular series in Quebec television history. Filmed in French, it had a limited audience outside of francophone markets. An English series was planned as a result of this success. These plans were shelved with the launch of David Chase's HBO series The Sopranos which post dated and paralleled Omerta on many levels.
