Devils

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.

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!

I really enjoyed this series and found myself wanting to binge watch to find out how the plot ended. The actors were very convincing in their roles as traders in the share markets and the various plot twists kept the narrative interesting. I didn't feel you needed to be an expert in high finance to understand what was going on. It was entertaining and intriguing.

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.

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
