Majikat Blink and you will have missed something, whilst it appears to be slow moving, a lot is going on and whilst it's not always grabbing your attention, it's a clever, deep web of international business mixed with the criminal underbelly, reminders of Michael Corleone on a much bigger scale and naturally acted, bringing a scary reality to it al.
Alice C Where to begin. The main character who appears to be in his 30s was raised wealthy in London, doesn't have a Russian accent and went to best schools including Harvard but later they keep saying the family left Russia 15 years ago. Doesn't really compute along with much of the rest of the story. His 'loving' uncle hurts his business purposesly with rumors so he'll have to let a criminal element into his investment fund. Which even though they try to present him as a man of impeccable character he quickly agrees by buying into the title McMafia idea of we'll go outperform the Russian syndicate that killed your traitor uncle by having a bigger presence (for revenge purposes). And after the first pushback which obviously would be coming when the Russian syndicate figured out what was going on the guy he sold out to basically folds like a cheap suit and gives up. Huh?! Meanwhile the show turns to soap opera drama about his washed up father having an affair, a pregnancy with the mistress, the pretense of drama about his fiancé learning he is not exactly legit. The fiance also gets shot and spends weeks in the hospital with no visible wound or need to be there. There is a lot of crying, suicide attempts and screaming, we see his father feeding ducks about as much as the toy Star Ship Enterprise flew pointlessly around the original Star Trek and more crying. I think about every character gets their shot at crying at least once. The storyline literally barely advances each episode. Not a very good show. They should have focused on an actual crime syndicate war and had characters you cared about like in the Sopranos. This does none of that. Just kill the main guy and end this sad saga.
William Corden... read 'em and weep Well. as they carry me away on a stretcher, I have to say that I didn't intend to binge watch the entire 8 episodes... it just happened. What's the weather like out there? Having just finished a book by Bill Browder and then reading "Stalin, Waiting for Hitler" I was turned on to this series by a friend who told me it was a cracking show.He didn't lie to me, just a superb project all round, classic British TV although Britain seems like a foreign country to me now that I've been away for so many years. Be warned that you can't watch it without being totally absorbed!There's no doubt in my mind that this is pulled from real life in London as we speak. The money from Russia has been flooding in since the fall of communism and the tap is still wide open, so it's not too much of a stretch to make a very believable fictional series like this.Acting is flawless and the use of subtitles, with Russian being spoken on screen, is just brilliant. It's quite interesting to see how Russian capitalists are portrayed as having so much more cultural taste than your average blingy Western billionaires but it's really astounding to see how much money they have amassed in such a short space of time. How can you get away with making that much money and not expect to be offed at some point? There's enough fodder here for more than a few seasons, as there are so many players in the international world of crookery. Book me in for three days straight to watch the next season! Bravo for a great piece of work!
peterhorrey Firstly how are other people giving this a 10? When I saw this I thought are the watching the same series and are they seriously putting this on the same level as the Wire, The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire and Billions...come on! The main issue is that the main character is wooden, whenever anyone or anything is said to him there is a pause, always a pause and then a deadpan response. I know what the actor and director are trying to convey, that Alex is cool...but he is no Daniel Craig (Layer Cake). And this is what they were going for and they fail miserably. And when the lead is poor it somehow infects the rest of he cast. And as for the airport scene between Vadim and Alex at the end of Episode 5...what was that all about. So this is definitely a bit of style (not a lot) over not a lot of substance. So very average...sorry, and particularly sorry as I paid to watch this...you live and learn
