Mcmafia

Well if I knew what the hell was going on I would enjoy it. I think the acting is good, but the storyline is very very confusing. To me at least.

[hellywelly4]

I agree. I've been enjoying it but lost it tonight. Who was the man who was taken to the tip at the end? (Not the one he looked at).
This is supposed to be based on facts. The way the electronic world works is frightening.

He was Chopra, the Indian drug baron who lived in the compound that was broken into.

[hellywelly4]

Douglas - I meant the man the children took to the tip.

[douglas9401]

Was he not the leader of the break-in gang? The one who shot the guy in the street.

[Ken4155]

Yes, Douglas, he was.

[douglas9401]

Excellent. Now I just have to work on my reading skills. :-)

I have been hanging on in with it but lost the plot completely last episode. So many people can't think who is who.

Gave up after first episode

[emmie]

it is difficult to keep the strands together, but i like it for all that. James Norton has got himself involved without really knowing what he was getting into, dirty money, drugs, women trafficking its all there, i think that this will all come together at the end..

[hellywelly4]

I googled McMafia and found a thread from the Guardian which gives a summary of each episode. Very useful.

Thank you Roslyn. When I tried to find the link just now I found an even better review in The Telegraph. All I did was type McMafia into google., but don't know how to link it up to this post.

Funnily enough I was thinking that this series at least was comparatively easy to follow. I like the realistic effect endered by the locations and the dialog in Russian, Czech etc.

Sorry to say I have given up from last night on it.

[hellywelly4]

I'm really enjoying it. How Alex kept his cool when Vadim spoke to him was wonderful acting.

i have recorded last nights episode, will watch it later today.
