Exceptional drama around the complexities of world finance blended with interpersonal relationships and individual avarice. This is an all-balls-in-the-air thriller with multitudes of simultaneous strands beautifully woven together into a fabulous story about power.
The general acting is outstanding, with particular excellence from Laia Costa (Sofia) and Alessandro Borghi (Massimo) who are at the eye of the storm. The wide-eyed, idealistic and naïve Sofia contrasted with the duality of Massimo's sometimes Morningstar, sometimes Satan, but always the Devil.
There are some weaknesses, most notably the variable pacing, but I highly recommend this and am eagerly anticipating season 2.
