belindar-2 This is one of the better miniseries. It tells the story in a fashion that is easy to follow, and interesting to tell. There is just enough violence without making the audience sick to the stomach. When things need to be demonstrated, the audience is given enough without being distasteful. I am looking forward to the second season because I enjoyed season 1 very much.
mingsphinx The negative reviews are mostly due to how Russian Jews are depicted. The series is neither dry, slow nor lacking in suspense. Quite the contrary, viewers are hooked in from the very first episode as they chase the plot to see how it unravels.However, despite the blood and gore, much of the material presented is too tame when compared with reality, and often too far fetched. The idea that a small UK money manager can somehow rise to the top of the Russian criminal world simply by using his wits is of course ridiculous; but there are other aspects of the show which beggar belief.For instance, Vadim (the villain) is said to be smuggling 300,000 kilos of narcotics annually and yet he would spend time and energy pursuing a counterfeit goods operation in the Czech Republic. No one who is moving that much dope would, should or even could spend any of his time doing anything else, never mind heighten his risk exposure by murdering a rival operative.Whilst the series tries it best to depict the international nature of the criminal world by filming on multiple locations, the picture presented is still cartoonish. The reality is far messier and much more complex with numerous and unpredictable intersections between legitimate and criminal enterprises.On the whole this was a good and ambitious effort. All 8 episodes were entertaining and for most part quite gripping.
suereed-86762 Sometimes a little hard to follow but overall I really enjoyed the show. Definitely too many unanswered questions. A second season is needed.
mcdowallkm-72668 I'm not generally a fan of James Norton who plays Alex, son of a Russian high flyer in exile in London. I've seen him play too many parts as a villain before, especially in HAPPY VALLEY where he tries to murder his son and in GRANTCHESTER where he abandons the love of his life. I'm guessing that's again the truth in McMaffia. His acting is convincing, the plot enthralling and the co actors are very supportive. I'd say very addictive series and no fairytale endings here.....but some get their just deserts. Highly recommended.
