More Critic Reviews for McMafia Season 1 All Critics (37) | Top Critics (14) | Fresh (26) | Rotten (11) [James] Norton plays Alex with such committed blankness that his rare outbursts of emotion are almost humorous. Feb 26, 2018 | Full Review… Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic Top Critic No matter how you feel about "McMafia" as a title, it does illustrate what's wrong with the show itself: If it were a McDonalds product, it would be an Egg McMuffin. Bland but filling, it's a breakfast sandwich sans any discernible flavor Feb 23, 2018 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic It's beautifully bleak all the way. Feb 22, 2018 | Full Review… Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Top Critic I think McMafia's slick tedium is born of the fact the series has no heart: character and plot are everything in a series like this - no one's seriously interested in how a bloke might get large amounts of cash invisibly from A to B. Jan 25, 2018 | Full Review… Rachel Cooke New Statesman Top Critic Its desperation to be slick, exciting and high-brow has resulted in a show that's also insincere, pretentious and unnecessarily difficult to follow. Jan 18, 2018 | Full Review… Anna Leszkiewicz New Statesman Top Critic The ace in McMafia's pack is undoubtedly Norton. It takes a lot to turn a caviar-necking banker son of a Russian crime dynasty into a likeable TV hero, but Norton somehow imbues his character Alex with a sense of fundamental decency. May 20, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Keith Watson Metro (UK) McMafia is certainly slick. But as an expose of international organized money laundering, I fear it's too dense to be the sexy thriller of 2018 that everyone so wants it to be. Jan 25, 2019 | Full Review… Daisy Wyatt iNews.co.uk As the show insists, there really isn't that much glamour at the top, just cold-hearted pragmatism, and cold it is - in each and every frame. Jan 15, 2019 | Full Review… Catherine Pearson Digital Spy For many, this may seem redundant, but the commitment to showcasing the mafia's spread in the age of globalization gives the show an important angle. Oct 10, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… Alan French AwardsCircuit.com It is not a failure, and its slick look convincingly creates a world for its story, but to survive in the current TV landscape, it needs to stop being like its main character and take more of a walk on the wild side. Aug 28, 2018 | Full Review… Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice Sometimes it was mad, occasionally it was bad, but in the end I came to love McMafia. Jul 20, 2018 | Full Review… Jan Moir Daily Mail (UK) McMafia has a Night Manager-level budget and a United Nations cast of actors. It oozes quality, and in Norton it has a leading man who can both act and look good in a DJ. Jun 28, 2018 | Full Review… Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) View All Critic Reviews (37) Audience Reviews for McMafia: Season 1 5d ago Great show and story line with nice locations filmed. The main character personality change into a mafia boss was well done. Hope it gets a second season. Brad R Jul 17, 2019 Brilliant, we loved it. Bring on Season 2 Wayne H Mar 23, 2019 Great!!! Really a different view of the underworld Sep 08, 2018 The crime drama is innovative with its Russian mafia gangs/families as the backbone, although most of the narrative end results are no different from what could have been with any other type of warlords and families. Nilesh J Aug 12, 2018 I truly enjoyed this drama series, the acting was top of the line, maybe wiuth a larger budget the series can get even better .. I'm excited to see Season 2 and all that it brings Shawna O Jul 31, 2018 McMafia is the best program on AMC. Ray J Jun 19, 2018 Great script, excellent acting.Suspenseful. Although the main actor channels michael corleone and other similarities to the godfather, the scope is international and focuses on money laundering, sex trafficking, and drug smuggling. Takes place in london, moscow, tel aviv with middle east countries and the mexican cartel thrown in to round out the international flavor. best show currently on tv. Muzz M Apr 24, 2018 T.V. programming has become so boring, not interesting and full of mainstream quirkiness. Every now and then a good show comes along ; Mc Mafia, Here and Now, Handsmaid Tale, Billions, The Affair and Fargo (just to name a few of my favorites) Ppppppplease bring it back! McMafia is intoxicating and I want more! terri s Apr 17, 2018 Excellent crime drama Jason S Apr 09, 2018 anything related to Mafia is a 5/5 Claudia P See all Audience reviews News & Features 150 Erotic Movies Ranked worst to best! 2019's Most Anticipated 63 movies coming up this year 200 Essential Movies Chosen by RT staff!
