McMafia

[Son of Stan]

I always think he has cheeky twinkle in his eye as if he were an unorthodox vicar/amateur detective with issues about his faith but that may be down to his role in Grantchester.

I don't think he fitted that bill in Happy Valley. Rather against type in that.

TBH, it's only true of his role in Grantchester. He was different in War & Peace, from what I remember... (although like McMafia, he was also Russian)

Really good, reckon the Norton character is going to turn into a right evil bastard, like Michael Corleone in the godfather.

Was reading a newspaper review of it, and it said that it was like watching a dress rehearsal/screen test for Norton to get the James Bond gig. Canny shout tbh

I don't think he's a Bond type at all tbh, looks more like a Tory politician to me.

Hmm I'm coming around to that view. Lots of opportunities to put in a cracking few scenes in tonight's episode and he played them all with a straight bat.

Plus he could have got ripped for the swimming scenes and it wouldn't have been out of character as he supposedly goes to the gym,works out in martial arts etc.

Still enjoying it, but the Mam is stealing it for me at the moment.

Is this on Netflix?

He’s wooden as fuck, don’t think I’ve ever seen a drama where the lead character has so little to say

I think that's intentional. Showing the 'inner turmoil' he's in. I don't have any problems with his acting so far and assume that his character will develop over the episodes.

Not going to watch no3, it's just so dull ,there's stuff happening but no one is creating tension or desire to wonder what next
He is dull and wooden

Just watched the first episode on i-player. They made a right mess of Danny Murphy! I reckon his MotD career is over.

Finally caught up with the available episodes and have to say I'm thoroughly enjoying it

It's class Rob

I read that it's lost 2 million viewers from the previous episode. I think people seem incapable of following a plot AND read subtitles at the same time. That said, this last episode was a bit drawn out for me, but it will be interesting to see how involved he becomes.

Wish the Russian script became english like Sean Connery on that Russian submarine film.only gripe for me

 

[Old Prestonian]

I don't get why you have the Rusiian subtitled parts when you have the scenes from India in the last episode all spoken in English. It makes a mockery of the subtitled Russian elements.

I thought that, all or nothing imo

Agree with this

Is a bit stupid

I'm not overly familiar with which language people in India would usually speak to each other but it struck me as a bit odd as well.

Still watching it but I am finding it tough. The chemistry between Norton and his wife is completely non existent.

Also, whilst I understand the vast geographical spread it does struggle to tie it all together hence the slow moving nature of the show in order to try and achieve it.

 

[Teejay]

Painfully, painfully slow

I enjoyed tonight's episode. It doesn't have to be all wham! bam! action stuff. The bit at the end in the airport lounge was quite chilling.
