Lukas-Jeremie K 01/05/2024 "McMafia" follows the banker Alex Godman, who actually wants to escape his family's criminal business with his own company, but due to unexpected events in his life, Alex slides further and further into the global criminal world of dirty dealings. The series has a very interesting premise, but doesn't really know how to handle it. Unfortunately, the series is just extremely average, even though it could have been so much more. The story was just stretched too far for a miniseries. You have the feeling that you hardly get to see the main character of the series and most of the time you're just following secondary characters. This quickly causes boredom. The acting from many of the characters here is very good, but the main character's acting is pretty much non-existent. He almost always looks as if he had only read the script during the break before the scene. You should also be aware beforehand that you have to read a lot of subtitles in these eight episodes because a foreign language is spoken most of the time. In summary, it can be said that the series is not bad, but not particularly good either - it is just no more than average. There are plenty of better crime series to watch instead of this one.

The scripts were very good and James Norton's performance was awesome. I hope Norton is strongly considered for the role of James Bond before he get's too old. To bad McMafia was cancelled.

However, as everyone bedded in and the storyline got more complex and gripping, I was hooked. Well worth watching for fans of quality drama. See more 11/15/2020 Very well written, well researched and original, show holds nothing back. Definitely a must watch for those who crave a high quality production. See more r 9 10/13/2020 Great TV! It took me about an episode and a half to fully get into it I admit, but from then on I was locked in constantly. S1 of 'McMafia' is outstanding! Riveting plot alongside some terrific acting, particularly from James Norton (Alex) and Merab Ninidze (Vadim). The locations are stunning, I love the worldwide feel to the show - I know that sounds obvious given the premise, but they truly make it feel global which is important. Of course it isn't perfect, but it's very close to being so. Can't wait for season two! See more 10/26/2019 Wonderful characters and beautifully executed story with an epic climax.
