McMafia

[ewolg]

Watched the first episode and get the feeling it could be as good as The Night Manager.
Seven more episodes to go so could develop in to something a bit riveting (hope so!).

Was going to post along the same lines myself - t'was a good opener certainly.

[ewolg]

Just noticed the second episode is on tonight

[Blackpuddin]

A bit slow to start but that added real impact when it all kicked off.

[soxboy]

Looks good so far. Missus wondered why Eddie Jordan had a funny accent.

[Hammerhead]

David Milliband as the lead was an interesting choice..

Thought it a bit wooden to begin with, but has signs of promise.

[Halmyre]

It was just starting to drag when suddenly it stepped up a gear.

Bit of a shonky looking lock on the door of his parent's house though!

Mine was the same

I thought it showed promise, will be watching tonight.

cr@p forgot this was on! will have to catch up on iPlayer - been wanting to see this as part of it was filmed in the building I work in

[Laurel Green]

As already said, shows promise and am looking forward to tonight's episode.

[Brave Fart]

Yes, enjoyed the first episode and will watch the second.
About the title: is "McMafia" a reference to the McDonalds analogy in the script? I was half expecting some Glaswegian criminal involvement!

I was impressed with yesterday's episode so here's hoping it continues in that fashion!

I think so, maybe he’ll want to become such a large ‘franchise’ it models McD’s & does away with the chap who was nearly assasinated?

[anonymous-user]

Really good for the BBC. Will keep watching.

Me too!

[Legacywr]

The new James Bond? I don’t see it?

[Jonesy23]

I know this is based on a non-fiction book and it's meant to be about the world of crime and all that but I can live without some brutal human trafficking storyline - the rest of it isn't entertaining enough to balance out the grimness.

[Murph7355]

Not as good tonight. Agree with the above about human trafficking...though I imagine it will be intertwined somehow.

Sunday's needs to be able to step up a gear again if I'm to persevere.

[ewolg]

But of a slow episode tonight so hope next Sunday it hots up.

[Laurel Green]

Simmering along nicely for me!
