A lot of people say that this is a story of a financial white-collar man who turned into a black gangster, but no matter how I look at it, it looks like a story of the second generation of Russian blacks returning to the family business. I have to say, this cast is really good. James Norton is thin in clothes, fleshy in undressing, stern and stylish when not smiling, and spring-like when he smiles, which is really suitable for Alex's two sides.
When Alex appeared on the stage, he was indeed proud of the London financial elite. Unfortunately, it only took him less than 10 minutes to be complacent. The fund company he had worked so hard to founded was put in jeopardy by a rumor of a suspected Russian sanctions transaction. In fact, Alex has been trying his best to integrate into the so-called Western civilization: he hated being called a Russian Jew since he was a child, he went to a British private school, went to an American business school, made a British girlfriend, distanced himself from his family and Russia, and obeyed the law Management, everything seems to be on the right track, thriving. . . . . . But just a rumor quickly destroyed everything about him. In order to save the company, he has searched for all the relationships in the civilized world, and the "help" he can get is a robbery while others are at risk. When he was about to sign the agreement to sell the company, who could say that he was not disappointed and angry with the civilized world that rejected him? It was Uncle Boris who knew him best, "perhaps you are tired of being an English gentleman".
On the surface, it was the tragic death of his uncle and the dangers facing his family that prompted him to finally take the step of cooperating with the Israeli transportation tycoon, but Alex's inner turmoil is far from simple. From money laundering, to stealing goods, to instigating the second-in-command of the Czech Republic, to blackmailing the old Israeli man to sign a transportation agreement, Alex seems to be used by others, but what drives him step by step is his heart and blood. a strong driving force. Alex is very capable and wants to do something with his own abilities, but since he was a child, he has always felt the rejection of him and his nation by the Western civilized world. The rules of fate changed against the sky, and it seemed to work at first, but the reality eventually taught him that there was no other way for him to take his father's depression, his own setbacks, and the enemy's pressing step by step. The genius of Alex is that he is good at disguising, and he has been dealing with people in the civilized world for so many years, which is really not difficult for him. So he deceived everyone, even himself. Rebecca was the first to see through him, after all, he was a bedside, so they eventually parted ways.
The civilized world cannot tolerate Alex's ambition, nor does it give him the opportunity to achieve his ambition. Only in the underworld world can he become the king.
