Synopsis
McMafia (2018), Season 1 is a BBC crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM — eight episodes following Alex Godman, the London-raised son of Russian exiles who has spent his life keeping his distance from the family's past.
Alex runs a clean investment fund, has an English partner and every intention of staying legitimate. One blow to his family is all it takes to undo that. To shield the people he loves, he edges into a network that washes fortunes and moves cargo and people through Prague, Tel Aviv, Moscow and Mumbai. The season tracks a quiet transformation: a respectable financier hardening, deal by deal, into someone he never planned to become.
Adapted from Misha Glenny's non-fiction study of global organised crime, the show trades shootouts for cold corporate logic, and that's where it bites. A good pick if you like slow, brainy criminal dramas in the vein of Traffic. Stream McMafia Season 1 online on iFILM.
