Already available on Amazon Prime, stylish gangster series McMafia centres on investment fund manager Alex Godman (James Norton), who makes every effort to keep his business clean. Watch the trailer below.
Staying on the right side of the law is important to him since his family’s wealth is derived from less honourable sources – his father and uncle were involved with the Mafia in post-Soviet Russia. Although they both now live in the UK, which is where Alex was brought up and educated, those connections to the past have never really gone away.
When his family members are targeted, Alex has a choice to make: stay removed or enter the fray to protect his loved ones. With a touch of James Bond to it – Norton looks dashing in a range of secret agent-level suits – this big-budget production can drag its feet at times, but those patient enough will enjoy Alex’s descent into the dark side of international finance. (Starts Wed., Feb. 13 at 8.30pm; SBS) 3.5 stars

After cutting his teeth on teen titles Smash Hits and TV Hits (remember them?) in the 2000s, Gavin moved into weekly magazines, working for TV Week for many years and continuing to contribute to that title to this day, and writing for Who, Woman’s Day, New Idea and OK over the past decade or so. He’s also worked for digital outlets, writing and editing for SBS, Pedestrian and Who.com.au, and has hosted and produced TV and music podcasts. Entertainment in all its forms has been Gavin’s focus, whether that be interviewing the latest eliminated contestant from Survivor; reviewing the newest films, TV series and albums; writing opinion pieces about streaming platforms and their offerings; or talking to Australian pop stars past and present about their musical journey. As a long-time freelancer, Gavin goes where the work takes him, with one hand on the remote and the other scrolling through his phone for entertainment updates.
