McMafia

I wasn't expecting much from this. I hadn't heard anything about it and really expected it to just be a low-budget stinker. I really like shows and movies about organized crime so I gave it a shot. I was very wrong. First, don't listen to the reviews saying it's too slow. It's not. It has plenty of thrilling moments. The story is very well written and tells a story of organized crime on a GRAND scale, taking you all over the world. The acting is very good and the cinematography is gorgeous! This series is not like a James Bond flick. It actually reminds me more of THE NIGHT MANAGER starring Tom Hiddleston. I highly recommend!

You've got the right amount of thrill/suspense there, personal drama, characters are also written very well. Really liked the pace of the show, it's not slow at all, it's how it should be! Loved how they portrait the global scale and connections between crime organizations like a whole globalized crime world. And of course an awesome choice of native speaking actors, locations and decorations made this thing believable and alive, wasn't expected to see that level of accuracy in a tv show. The only weird thing there is the show title. People apparently think that it is connected to McDonald's or burgers, not the best name for criminal show like that I reckon. I hope it'll have good ratings and I'll see the 2 season

Story takes time to evolve but boy does it evolve. It gives a new direction to globalization of crime and how mafia work together. Love the characters and this show will definitely become a hit

I like it a lot! Yes, it is focused on this russian family but, I don't see it as the usual thing against russians in the movies. The main character is the son of a big russian boss but they live in london and have ordinary life now... He is discovering his dark side during the show and he begins to like the power. Money drugs, power... I really really like it. Hope there will be a season 2.

This is an excellent piece of drama if one likes subtle intrigue with a dark sombre looming menace.

I have seen episode 1. The acting is professional, as is the director's lead, but most importantly the story is not only plausible but current. What do the world's real super villains want and need - a banker who will do their work, and this young man has fallen right into it through no fault of his own

So no bang bang shoot 'em up, though a bit of blood and guts. If you liked the "The Game" with Brian Cox and Tom Hughes you will love this.

Thanks.
