This a brilliant series. With a very well chosen international cast. Based on a semi biographical book by a former investment banker, Guido Maria Bera. The characters have depth and the storyline lines jumps perfectly between the personal and the macro dwellings of the world of high finance. Its also a series that sheds light on how the european finantial crisis has in fact a man made catastrophe! Hope to see more of this.
The first season probably should have been 6 episodes and not 10 because there is a stretch of episodes in the middle where very little seems to happen. Still, Devils was entertaining enough that I'd say it's worth a watch if the plot summary interests you. Beware, though, that there are some unintentionally funny elements. First, the voice over at the beginning of every episode that talks about the devil is extremely cheesy. It was also hilarious that the main characters are supposed to be brilliant traders, but employ the exact same strategy in every single episode. Seriously, if you take a shot every time they suggest shorting a stock you will be passed out in no time. Finally, the show takes place in 2011 and flashes back to 2001. The problem is the flashbacks are largely built around the Sofia character who, according to the credits is supposed to be 10 in 2001. It makes no sense then why the producers have cast a girl who looks far younger than 10 for the 2001 scenes and an actress in her 30s for the 2011 scenes. I cringed every time they did a flashback because of this.
It has a flashy appearance, fast cars, technical banking references, smart suits and city views. But there is no soul to this drama, the characters are hard to like and the lead actor is just a bit too wooden.
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
Great series, first episodes takes some understanding (mainly about trading/banking/currencies). After watching the full series you'll understand the full story. Funny how switch between who's good/bad while watching the series. Not a predictable story, which is nice for a change. Definitely waiting for a second season!
