Thought the first episode was good. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

I will, last night's opener was very good. I'll never look at a caviar knife the same again (I've never seen one and probably won't in the future).

Very disappointed, thought it was going to be about gangsters in Glasgow

 

[Beach Hut]

Good potential what day will it normally be on as back to back episodes

I thought it was going to be about Scottish gangsters in Italy

I am still not sure why it's called McMafia, maybe the jock mob show up tonight

It’s based on true stories in a crime book of the same name by Misha Glenny. The name was actually inspired by a group of Chechen gangsters who built a crime syndicate through a franchise system similar to that employed by McDonalds (the franchise system was similar I’m not suggesting Ronald McDonald is head of some global crime organisation)

Recording all episodes, then watch as a boxset, sorted.

Thanks for the info.
In one scene McDonalds and Burger King was mentioned.

... as was explained in last night's episode.

Needs a bit more snatch

I haven’t watched it yet, it was also mentioned in some of the press when the show was being previewed.

I always preferred Burger King, so was dissatisfied with the explanation in episode one.

James Norton is a great actor. Not liking the subtitles but understand they need to be there.

Now watched the first two episodes and really enjoying it. Have to watch carefully, so many characters based all round the world!!!

 

[Official Old Man]

Really enjoyed it, my sort of programme. Luckily I had read the pre-amble about the show so knew what it was about. It did seem to skip over what Alex Godman did regarding his company. The scene in his office with the emails could have been better explained.

All still watching? Getting more menacing by the episode, loving it

 

[Pavilionaire]

Five episodes in and it's still gripping, I recommend it.
