I never normally watch it, but the background story of the fella who had to leave after getting injured was by far one of the most shocking recounts I've heard on TV. Or anywhere else for that matter.

Yeh love that programme.
Massive respect to that bloke. How he's still going after something like that is incredible.
Fantastic, based on real events... Well worth a watch. 8 Episodes, Netflix, 2 big-ish names and fantastic chemistry.
Really, really enjoyable.
8/10
Really enjoyed it, just a shame they completely made most of the last episode up, the 2 have never met!
Yeah I thought that, but reading he real life blokes comments (he helped direct it) he stated the main character was like the whole team rolled into one person.
I’m not sure the real version went to live in the woods for 2 years either.
Has anyone seen 'This is us' on Amazon Prime? Only started watching it about 4 days ago and have just finished episode 15. It is seriously good if you like swooping inter-generational family dramas. Superd writing, acting and the way the story is told with time-line shifts and flashbacks from the 40s to the present day is very effective.
Yeah have seen the first series. Is season 2 on there? My mum suggested it last year after she saw the first episode and the shock at the ending and we were hooked.

one of my favourite shows, really good characters and only 1 slightly weak episode in the 2 seasons

going to have to find where to watch it now
Rumour has it that it can be found with one of those Kodi boxes.
I am not giving up on McMafia, but certainly last week's episode left me feeling that it isn't living up to expectations. Seems to me that the main reason is that expectations are based around the quality of The Night Manager. It's got most of the same ingredients; high production values, authentic location, investment in casting, topical and thought-provoking theme. People are focusing on the casting as not delivering but more significiant is that the storyline framework for The Night Manager is provided by a master: Le Carre. McMafia is inspired by a book which is not a novel. It has had to create its own storyline from scratch. The Night Manager cast were able to sit down and read their richly described characters. The much criticised James Norton does not have that advantage, his character is a product only of the TV scriptwriters.
I read somewhere that the BBC considered a sequel to The Night Manager - which would have been a throughly bad idea. I suspect McMafia was their alternative. Perhaps they should just go back to other Le Carre novels which have not yet been turned into films. Their version of "Tinker Tailor" in the 80s remains one of their finest ever dramas.
