Reviews of this series by the user Kaka (43)
Sapphire (2022) (S06E04)
Uncompromising hypnotic darkness that is only broken out of lethargy by a stunningly shot scene with a machine gun in the woods. It still has little in common with the liveliness and mafia feeling of the original series, but as a gritty drama full of life's hardships it is more than adequately executed.

The Road to Hell (2022) (S06E05)
An episode about reconciliation, awareness and redemption. This is very far from the grounded gangster series of the first episodes. The fifth episode doesn't change the concept of the entire sixth series, which is dark, depressing and shows a hero in a considerable stage of psychological decay. It's hard to say in what direction the finale will take it, but so far it seems rather controversial as a whole.

Lock and Key (2022) (S06E06)
An unusually long climax that actually just misses the characters' spectacular but flat pseudo-political arc, only to return again to a family showdown with an emphasis on core values. OK, but a bit too long and the final twist is already in the “wild” category.
