I would not say that the ending was leaked, but there is some kind of disappointment in this...on the one hand, everything logically ended as on the poster of the series, and on the other hand, xs and the end seem to be everything, but I would still look at the development of this line.
Well, Danilka was a pleasant surprise, if not him.
@gingerale: I also noticed that he is now Alexei, then Alexander. For example, Kleiman introduced him in Prague as Alexander, and his parents call him Alexei.
@xena93: There is no name Aleksey in English. Obviously, when she immigrated to England, for the convenience of integrating a 9-year-old child in a foreign country, they changed his name to Alex. Alex, in turn, is an abbreviation of Alexnder. I don't think this is a mistake.
@silent: Any name is in any language. Names are not replaced by analogues. For example, if someone's name is Catherine, then she will be Catherine in any country, in any language, and not Catherine.
@silent: Alex is either Alexey or Alexander, but not both at once. At the age of 9, the child's name was changed by his parents, so in the documents he is listed either as Aleksey or Alex. Where did Alexander come from - that's the question. The fact that Alex is an abbreviation of Alexander is very far-fetched. For example, in Russia, Glory is an abbreviation of several different names at once, but no one will call Vyacheslav Svyatoslav. I think that the creators do not understand that Alexander and Alexey are different names.
It seems good to me. Someone will like the plot, someone will not, but as for the implementation, it is very good. Finally, Russians are played by people who at least understand what they are saying (and for the most part they are native speakers). Well, there are many other things that pleased me. The ending is not straight "fire", but strong, it left a pleasant feeling from watching the season
The ending is logical: the rebirth of the hero is already in the role of the godfather and a complete understanding of all actions. There will be no turning back, in general.
It's just super. The finale is beyond praise. No sequels are needed. This is the story of the main character's formation and I don't need anything else. One of the best TV series in its genre. For me, this is the Godfather of the 21st century. Super, standing ovation.
I agree with you, the plot is weak, individual lines are poorly drawn, the drama is very weak, the actors themselves are good, but they have nothing to play.
@aminagoddes: probably a SPOILER, but in an interview, the performer of the role of Kolyagin said that he would be glad if he was invited to star in the second season. Flashbacks don't seem to be clear about what to shoot, so maybe he didn't kill him + in the background, you could hear his breathing and moaning after the shot, maybe he shot nearby
The ending is very strong, I hope for the second season, but it will already be seen that the series is essentially about a criminal leader, and not a guy from a film of cute photos.
Everything ended logically as for me. The hero has transformed, there is no way back, everyone understands everything, but it's too late to rush around. And they cast the bait for the next season, because Antonio was squinting his eyes and shaking his whole body. So if they want to continue, then there is at least this shortcoming)
And yes, Moscow is not Moscow at all, but what can you do, perhaps this is the biggest jamb of the whole series regarding cranberries)) And they also gave Danilushka a ride, it wouldn't be the same without Danilushka, aha hddd
It came out strongly. In general, reading the description of the series, I expected that there would be something snotty about a forced hero in the underworld, and I was very doubtful whether to watch it at all. It's hard to call Alex the godfather, because he, in fact, considers mafia clans and their showdowns a relic of the past. It was interesting to follow his formation and reinterpretation.
It's hard to say whether it will be interesting to watch the second season, P.C. there will already be a completely different story.
I was also waiting for superman to be a good-natured man destroying the mafia, but no, it's not like that! The path of becoming from a squishy to a don.
The ending is good. Despite the small cranberry joints with Moscow) well, okay, we forgive) season 2 is logically not needed. It's all said in the last scene. The series was somewhat reminiscent of "The Night Manager".
It's not a bad series, but I didn't even have time to figure out when Alex became like this. He drowned for goodness to the last, did not want to get involved in anything like that, then the bride says that he does not know who he is, and he really immediately changes and betrays everyone. We'll have to review the last couple of episodes more closely. I will be waiting for news about the second season
I also did not understand this line of development of the main character, such a sudden change in moral character, the ends do not meet purely according to the laws of the human psyche. Maybe he just became who he always was.
And the fact that he ran from partners to partners, this cannot be called a straight scam, he builds his business and it does not matter in what way.. In the end, he is the winner.
"Fuck, why are we always running around in costumes?" - the most masterpiece phrase of the whole series. It is a pity that it was not translated into English. The series is high-quality, it is clear that people tried. And the caste was picked up to the maximum authentic, and they traveled around the world in search of locations. Moscow was partially filmed in Belgrade, at least some Eastern Europe. Lech, of course, underplayed in places, but on the whole, the character's disclosure was shown well. As they say, you can't get a village out of a man. Under all this gloss, he is his father's son. In the end, of course, he got really flustered, he was all "fie, I won't shake your hand", maybe a really ill-considered act, as predicted here for the next season. If they shoot the sequel, we can already say in advance that it will not end well and everyone will die, so let them finish it better.
I was pleasantly surprised when Kozlovsky turned out to be the "important person".
As a result: what Alex initially shunned and avoided so much is what he came to. This transformation from a respectable person into a murderer and a "cheat" of partners is shown a little crumpled. However, on the other hand, it is not delayed and not spread over 20+ episodes.
James Norton still somehow strangely in this series sometimes looks like a tin soldier in the frame: he stands, then walks as if not knowing where to put his hands or himself at all, or what position to take, and in the end just stands there (also with his stone face:D is good, brutal, but stony). I don't know if you understand what I'm talking about, but during the series and in this episode in particular, I never paid attention to it.
I also really like the musical theme, especially if you speed it up. It's great that she was inserted at the end of the series itself; in terms of the atmosphere of events and drama, to the point.
@IXenZO: "Soldiering" is the weak point of almost all the actors in this series, and Kozlovsky sometimes looked like he was reading the text from a piece of paper. The exception was perhaps only Serebryakov and Mashkova. Which is strange, considering that the actors are very, very good, which leads me to think that this is the specifics of the series in principle.
The metro at the beginning of the series is clearly not Moscow. I did not understand at all why, for greater authenticity, it was impossible to shoot in Moscow. Maybe I'm wrong.
@vk773482: It's probably expensive. But it would be possible to hang at least signs /signs from the Moscow metro, although they would certainly have been asked for a lot of money for their use...
@vk773482: It is often a big problem to get a visa to Russia. Perhaps, for the sake of running around the doorways, they decided not to kill themselves.
Как-то всё невразумительно. Собственно кашу, которую заварил дядя Борис, расхлебывал племяш то ли Леша, то ли Саша. Прямо камерный, за неимением лучшего слова, сериал. Лондон общие виды и пара пустынных улиц. Окна ни в одном помещении не открываются. Годман старший кормит уток на каком-то непонятном пруду. Главный герой - то парень просто отвратно говорящий по-русски и это несмотря на более чем сознательный возраст переезда. Зажатый, можно даже сказать затюканный. Уроки самообороны в каком-то подвале и это несмотря на миллионы семьи? Я понимаю Лондон, холодно, но можно же одеть героя в свитер, джемпер под пиджак надеть. А то рубашка из-за майки топорщится. То нянька для папаши, который просто в говно превратился. И что более важно ни у Алекса, ни у его сестры - друзей нет?! Жених, невеста пожалуйста, а остальные всё????!!!! Клейман-Шлейман - просто шикарно сыграл. Интересна линия с Иосифом Людмилой. Антонио - Кайо Блат. Мальчик вырос))). Кто смотрел "Воздушные замки", тот поймет)). Колягина в конце даже на какой-то миг жалко стало. Вообще, по сюжету и героям больше похоже на 70-ые или 80-ые. Т.к. высокие технологии помогали лишь в Мумбае.
В целом, мне понравилось. Конечно, косяков хватает, но положительных эмоций сериал оставил в разы больше. Мне нравится это становление личности. Дядя Борис даже близко не представлял, что он замутил) И финал хороший, Хотя с альтернативной Москвой они конечно намудрили. :D
Давно я что-то не смотрела с таким интересом. И да, Данька крут) Куда же без Даньки)
Неплохо. В целом - Нинидзе, Серебряков и Шукшина тащили сериал на себе. За сезон понял что Нортон не умеет бегать, сцены погонь слабоватые по динамике, но хороши по напряжению. Вроде по сценарию все годно и сезон получился цельным, но все равно когда смотришь есть стойкое ощущение что создатели немного не докрутили то там, то сям.
Посмотрим сделали ли создатели выводы во втором сезоне.
In March 2022, it was announced that the planned second series had been axed. In a statement, the BBC said the cancellation was due to difficulties filming during the coronavirus pandemic, Norton's career pressures, and concerns of broadcasting a show that portrays Russians as corrupt people following the Russian invasion of Ukraine
MyShows откуда вы придумаете информацию о продлении сериалов? это касается не только МакМафия, куча других примеров! Зачем вы рисуете статус Pause, если сериал закрыт в 2020 году? вы хотя бы на Кинопоиск заглядывали иногда!

PS: I wonder where he put the gun then?
