Episode 1.4
Prismark1021 January 2018
Alex Godman had probably now tipped over the edge of legality, coaxed by Semiyon Kleiman who lets him decide whether to go for the drugs coup against Chopra in Mumbai. Even Alex's fiancee has doubts that he may be up to no good.

This series has been a showcase for actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui who really shines as Dilly Mahmood. There is nothing flash or organised about him and his gang, they are jut willing to get their hands down and dirty.

Using a small telescope to spy on Chopra. Breaking into his compound to stumble into a late working accountant who they persuade to help out and then shoot him dead. Then having to find a hacker to persuade him by use of a autographed cricket bat to hack into a chocolate vending machine that gets them access to the internet that allows them to disrupt Vadim's heroin operations in India.

It is a shame that the series cannot maintain the grungy slickness of those Indian sequences.

The first episode showed promise but the series has become flat with uninteresting scenes. In this episode there was about ten minutes of excitement near the end as the Mumbai gang, led by Judas Law look-a-like Dilly Mahmood (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) undertakes its mission. The protaganists are not interesting: Alex Godman (played by James Norton) is a coldfish and Semiyou Kluiman (David Strathairn) is creepy - maybe that is desirable when they have dubious intentions. The commercials were more entertaining and it didn't help that the music was irritating.
