Firstly how are other people giving this a 10? When I saw this I thought are the watching the same series and are they seriously putting this on the same level as the Wire, The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire and Billions...come on!
The main issue is that the main character is wooden, whenever anyone or anything is said to him there is a pause, always a pause and then a deadpan response. I know what the actor and director are trying to convey, that Alex is cool...but he is no Daniel Craig (Layer Cake). And this is what they were going for and they fail miserably. And when the lead is poor it somehow infects the rest of he cast. And as for the airport scene between Vadim and Alex at the end of Episode 5...what was that all about. So this is definitely a bit of style (not a lot) over not a lot of substance. So very average...sorry, and particularly sorry as I paid to watch this...you live and learn
