    There were layers of Godfather-esque tragedy here. Not least Vadim dying alone in a squalid apartment, bereaved, and betrayed by his best friend – having lost everything. That McMafia spent so much time with Alex’s nemesis and his point of view was crucial. It gave us a more rounded and somewhat sympathetic antagonist – albeit one, like Alex, prepa...

    If you stop to think about it for a second, it is somewhat ridiculous to believe that Alex could go from bland city banker, to reluctant money launderer, to Kremlin-backed drug kingpin in a matter of weeks.

    Rebecca and Alex’s relationship hangs in the balance. And she is clearly in two minds. But as she called him while packing her bags, Alex’s glance at his phone appeared to suggest he was prepared t...

  4. Jan 2, 2018 · David Dencik portrays Uncle Boris in McMafia but fans may recognise the actor from the second season of Top of the Lake: China Girl, which aired earlier this year. The Swedish-Danish actor, 43,...
