McMafia

As the series progresses I think it's getting better and better, it's gripping, high octane, pulse racing viewing. The McMafia name I'm assuming is an attempt to show the globalisation of crime, how something can quickly spread worldwide, crime is unfortunately global these days. I get why the Russians are a little miffed as there is a bit of Russian bashing in it, but in real life there are Russian criminals, as in deed there are British and Israeli (American etc.) James Norton impresses in everything he does, McMafia is another in the list of successes for him. Is this a pre empt for James Bond, time will tell. So the series perhaps starts off a little slow, and is very political heavy in its story telling, but it's intelligent, compulsive, gripping viewing, more please.

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!

I don't think I've seen an entire English production like this one. And I'm so glad I've seen this one, otherwise, I would have missed a lot !

If you are looking for a John Wick kind of action, well, this is not it. This is more about the love of family and things you are willing to do for them. The sacrifices you are willing to do to ensure their safety, even if you've tried all your life to lead a life "away" from your family's past.

I would like to commend all the actors and the production staff who participated in this series. Job well done !

Don't dare miss this one !

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

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.
