A saga of criminal intrigue that mixes ruthless and intense action with even more cruel crime lord manipulatons. The story grabs you and doesn't let go, I'm talking about the first season. The scenes of cruel and bloody action are formidable, one of the best I have seen, great quality. A dose of violence rarely achieved.
The story of this family of gangsters, the Wallace family, is interesting and has very unexpected and unpredictable moments.
The feeling of mercy bleeds inside many of these characters as much as any of their murders. And despite everything they don't seem to have a choice, they live locked in a destructive spiral.
Lets not forget the camera work, which shows a multitude of tracking angles. Absolutely fascinating!
You will like some actors more than others, logical in a series with so many characters and families, that is what it is about, keeping you in continuous tension and placing the viewer in a world of violence and cruelty like I have never seen before. Again, it is all about power and more and more money.
Exaggeratedly unrealistic from time to time, but it didn't bother me at all.
I recommend this first season without a doubt, a lot of extreme and cruel action and very well staged, with a somewhat different story due to its international nature.
