Why is this fund manager getting as involved as he is?
Move the money, leave the mob stuff to the mobsters, etc.

I stuck with it last night, then at the end wondered, "WHY the fk did I bother?!"

I am in the same boat, and now giving it up entirely - too many other good series about

Why is he involved - because despite having zero personality or emotions he is very upset about the murder of his uncle. He also seems to have gone from being allergic to his dodgy family background to ripping off heroine-importing mobsters.
His uncle was a massive bell-end and I was pleased when his character was killed, so I am struggling to back the main character or his cause.

I'm hoping he's looking long term at the big picture and looking to shaft the Russian, Israeli and Mexican to become The Don, Mr Big Cheese, sort of Breaking Bad style.

now that would be great, but I am 5 episodes and see no breadcrumbs of an exciting plot path like that, Alex also seems to be boring and wooden to go there

I don't think it's that bad. Worth watching on a day off.

Nah. Not even remotely.

Yeah, I'd rather WORK on a day off!

The airport meeting was interesting.

Although I could hardly hear a word either of them were saying, gave up completely on the closing comment after rewinding it 3 times and turning the volume up to a daft level.

Subtitles an option on iPlayer.

"give my regards to your family"

I remember as it looked important so I rewound it 4 times till I got it

I gave up on it last week!

Us too. Too much other stuff to waste our sparse hour in the evening on.

I enjoyed this weekends episode. For me he appears to be moving from the banker into gangster role.
Im guessing ultimately it will be a huge sh*tstorm and hes going to take everyone out.

He does need to sort out his girlfriend as shes simply annoying.

[vxr8mate]

I agree. I'm finding this very addictive.

He's becoming more involved each day and he's becoming accustomed to it all. I think his GF will end up dead, freeing him up to get his hands dirty, eventually taking over everything.

[Blackpuddin]

Just realised that (a) I missed the last one and (b) I'm not bothered.

Bump for this weeks exciting instalment

[ewolg]

I thought I’d get more enthusiastic but it’s tediously slow.

It might have made a good 4 parter. Now it's just dragging

Agreed ,still 2 more after tonight.

[Laurel Green]

That'll be a full working day invested in this - a tad slow indeed but, am still enjoying it... slowly!

[Mothersruin]

Caught up to the current one that is on.

It started well but I'm getting a bit bored with the clunkyness and the girlfriend being a massive MacGuffin all the time.

[soxboy]

French neighbour: one of the baddies or about to get bunked off by accident?

[Pericoloso]

My attention drifted and now have no idea why that shooting just happened......

French lady a Vadim "agent" ?
