    Great series .... Of course the critics don't like this series. But they are't from earth so who cares what they think ?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I found James Norton's blank face style of acting and the very slow pace of plot really boring. Some of the plot twists, such as him giving his passport to a threatening stranger were a joke. By the last two eps, I would have given up but my GF wanted to see the conclusion. Will not bother watching season 2. The opening credits and music were the highlight actually - they were great! Expand

    This is the best "drama" TV for a very long time. Yes it's dark and involved, like life sometimes actually is, instead of the fluffy or ultraviolent unrealistic tripe that is mostly served up as tv shows these days. The fact that it is based on a book written by a journalist shows.

    Norton's stony glare, and a supporting cast rarely rising above one-line descriptions don't sink proceedings. Even if this is just The Night Manager cross-pollinated with The Godfather, it produces a decent hybrid.

    While there are strong moments in this globetrotting international series, it plays like a retread of earlier mob tales -- albeit with a timely tie-in to the Russians and money laundering -- in a way that represents an offer you can safely refuse.

    It's durably made, thoughtfully written and well-acted. It’s also ... methodical, to put it nicely. Others might call it plodding.
