There's no way GG can say "no" to anyone.

That's right, while the main character looks like a rag. At first, like high moral principles, but just started to burn out a little, immediately began to act as profitable, without much resistance
Of course, it's also a funny contrast to how bandits do all kinds of horrors and don't even raise an eyebrow, and Alex just clicks on the mouse to "make a transaction" and points out that he forgot to do his homework)))

I don't quite understand what prevents the Mexican from directly contacting Kleiman and agreeing with him about everything? Why does he need an intermediary in the person of Alex, who also makes it clear that he is not interested? And anyway, why did Alex stop answering Kleiman's calls? Like, "OK, I'm going to transfer your money, but I'm not going to talk"? Not very professional behavior))
And it's still not very clear why all these twists and turns with infidelity in the Serebryakov-Shukshina family. To dilute the plot with gang warfare? The actors play well, of course, but it seems that 2 completely different series are just trying to blend into one.

@distant_star: and why would Kleiman negotiate with an unknown person?)

@yu123: because the "unknown person", as I understand it, understands business better, unlike Alex. Anyway, it's better to do things without intermediaries.
As a last resort, he could ask Alex to introduce them to each other, arrange a meeting, but I absolutely don't see any real reason to involve Alex in this business.

@distant_star: Alex is considered Kleiman's shadow partner - there is a motive, there is a surname from their circles. The fact that he dismisses everything like that can be considered quite cautious. Plus, if they put in a good word about you, then the deal may be more profitable.

@evil_anna: It just seems to me that for Kleiman, Alex is not the kind of person whose opinion is particularly worth listening to. He's just a guy who transfers money. Yes, let him come from a family with a gangster past, but it is obvious that he himself is not in the subject of all this shady business. And they present it as if it's already some kind of authority.

It feels like I'm watching a Russian TV series with English subtitles.

@Hope_fox: It's good that there are English subtitles: what Vadim and the FSB officer say in Russian is sometimes difficult to understand. It feels like they were taught diction by Renata Litvinova.

@ЗвероящеР: Which is immediately Renata Litvinova, maybe Ninidze is a fan of Alexei German Sr., for example, in Khrustalev, the machine, the characters also have a difficult speech to distinguish, such as overheard life.

What the main character doesn't like is that he always has one pokerface.

He's being predicted to be the next James Bond just because of his poker face, I think.

@345mhz: What does one pokerface mean? He has a lot of poker faces, for all occasions :):) He even exaggerates his cheekbones a bit :D

But I think it's the opposite of a feature. That would be him for the role of Bond, after Craig's departure... And there will be a damn nigger.

By the way, please do not ignore, but briefly explain the scheme of Kleiman and Godman and what is the benefit of each of them?

@Daniyarius: Kleiman spends money through Alex's fund and makes investments. Thus, Alex raises the reputation of his fund due to the fact that a large investor works with him, while Kleiman simply launders money and conducts business through "his" person) That's the benefit.

@Daniyarius: The money of the respected Knesset deputy goes to a small but real investment fund in a completely kosher jurisdiction, and not to a left-wing one-day offshore. And Alex's interest is stupidly that without Kleiman's money, his office is gone, and you can go to hired managers. Kind of like that

The Russian cast is very attractive. I don't know how to interpret it, but it's a pity for Shukshina's character, in terms of being caught between two fires-on the one hand, her husband's infidelity and the family will not be the same as before, and on the other, her husband's deep depression, which clearly does not benefit anyone. The main character is irrational and incomprehensible to me, there are too many reasons. For example, he lived and lived with Rebecca, and here you are wondering if we should have a wedding or his way of doing business, it feels like he's making decisions at random. Seriously? Although the overall picture of the series pleases me, the hour of each episode greatly fuels my interest. We'll see what happens next..

In the last episode, Serebryakov pulled, in this one - Shukshina. And they certainly drag beautifully.
And I still like Norton. His face is like a brick, of course, but there are such people. Emotionality is at zero, but something is still happening there.
I also really like the actor playing Karimov (isn't that the name of the villainous villain?). Such an ambiguous guy comes out, it's cool.

And the girl who was with Godman the father, did she smoke ganjubas with Godman the daughter at that time, telling her that it didn't work out with Alex Godman? Somehow, it's not good at all - there was no beautiful love with her son, she pleases his father.

Our guys are doing well, they really pleased both Shukshin and Serebryakov - they played well.

Merab Ninidze also makes me immensely happy - an interesting, intelligent, ambiguous character, moreover, well-written and very voluminous. And Ninidze was able to show it well. In general, the main antagonist drags. Norton is still completely lost in his background.

I really liked the interaction between Godman and Mendes, and I can feel the tension between them. Oh, no matter how I get carried away on a ficbook - another scene like their conversation on the shore and I'll drool and scribble without a break :D

There is still an ambiguous attitude towards Mendes, and Godman is also unclear, but their tandem looks good. By the way, I like the 50 shades of his poker face. :D: I think because of that brick face, the other characters can't fucking figure out what's on his mind.
