Devils

6 episodes in over a weekend and it's held my attention. Sumptuous locations and well filmed. One criticism is that little effort has been made to show that it's set 10-12 years ago, the tech and so on looks mostly bang up to date to me. British Billions? Kind of.

It's about time we had a good series about one of the bankers getting screwed and then deciding to take down his employers.

Alessandro Borghi is one of the best actors on the planet these days. Anyone who has seen him in other productions, such as Suburra, will attest to that. I'm not a big fan of Patrick Dempsey, but he's come a long way since his early days and plays his part with some authority.

The supporting cast does a good job, too. The sense of naked ambition, where people will do anything and everything to ascend the greasy pole, is palpable.

I can thoroughly recommend this series!

Update: The long-awaited Season 3 doesn't disappoint. I binge-watched all 8 episodes in a day! Brilliant!

Good show, well made, shows e bankers for what they really are. More things should be done like this to show what these parasites are really up to. To the people compaining about "weird European accents", thanks for showing what you really are

A deep series about the world of (real) finance and behind the scenes (fictional) machinations, with good acting, nice development, but with a horrible flow, near total lack of entertainment and boredom all upon you.

It is one of the very few series where the acting and screenplay are (+), whereas the flow and enjoyment are sub-zero. Sat and sat throughout the 10 episodes, to witness a very unsatisfying ending.

The producers should really consider finishing it here and forget about a more boring second season.

After a slow start, the character development and story line is gripping. Thought provoking and enjoyable.
