affection or power

British dramas have always been known for their excellent quality. This time, "The Goldman Family" produced by the BBC is even more well-made and is very worth watching.
The family love runs through the whole drama. The beginning of the male protagonist Alex's transformation was because his uncle was killed, and until he fought with Vadim later, the support point was also for his family. But is all this fighting just for protection? When Simeon Kleiman was almost destroyed because of the sexual assault case, Alex took advantage of the witness to blackmail Simeon, as if Alex had a clear conscience for blackmailing, and he did everything to protect his family. But the seasoned Simeon saw the desire in Alex's heart at a glance.
Well-dressed, and the reasons for speaking are high-sounding.
Alex's girlfriend Rebecca also pointed out that although he was wealthy and educated by elites, learned etiquette and treated others gently, he was still fierce and aggressive when he was a child without money. On the poster, Alex was well-dressed and handsome, but his hands were full of blood. This reminds me of President Shimoki from House of Cards, how similar.
At first I believed that Alex was really protecting his family, but later we found out that it was he who put his family at risk. After playing games again and again, we suddenly discovered that Alex was no longer a so-called banker at this time, and the person in front of Antonio was already a big boss.

When Vadim was about to assassinate Alex, he saw his happy daughter and let Alex die softly.Obviously in the face of absolute power, Vadim chose family affection. But in the end, it was precisely Alex who killed Vadim. Either you died or I died. You can't be soft-hearted when you come out.Before his death, Vadim also told Alex that we must be alone in doing this, otherwise your relatives are destined to be implicated by you.
Vadim is not a young man. He has experienced the pain of losing his wife, so when he is old, he knows the value of family affection. When Vadim's daughter was killed, he was completely mad, desperate for revenge, and even directly threatened government officials. Daughter is everything to him.In the end, it ended bleakly, which makes people sigh.
Young Alex finally hung up his girlfriend's phone, and he chose power between family affection and power. In the end he also succeeded in taking power.
When Vadim gave up killing Alex, his tragic end was already doomed. When I see Vadim, I always think that this is the old Alex, and Alex is just the young Vadim. When you are young, you choose power, and when you are old, you choose family and you can't regret it. It's hard to have both.
When a person is ready to embark on an adventure, a choice has already been made.
