Reviews (2)
Absence of good guys, unpredictability, machinations and intrigues in the world of big finance. The characters will probably go a long way in future episodes, and the whole thing will probably go back and forth 20 times, but the pilot already lays it out so well that it will be fun to watch every twist and turn. Let’s get on with it, then.

After watching the pilot episode, I knew I was in for a treat. This show set in the world of high finance is definitely up my alley. I'm thoroughly impressed with the cast and the storyline, and I'm eagerly anticipating a hefty dose of intrigue. I've always enjoyed stories without traditional heroes, and it looks like this one will have very few, if any.
