McMafia episode 6

I hate the hero's wife.

He's just gone out to his parent's and she's stayed at home because she 'can't  put on an act in front of your parents'.

'So don't come'  he says.

He's just been telling her 'I'm not you.'  'My uncle was killed and .....  '  whatever... 

Greatest thing. Excellent script writing I think.  She's snooped through his desk, gone behind his back, acted in every way, just about, that typifies the worst of female 'mate' behaviour.

I flashed onto it there for a while and saw it as an attempt by her only to recover her grip on him, her possession of him, her control of him.  She offended that he's off doing something, has an obsession, a mission.

A little gem of a scene.  Rarely seen anything so good.  Right to the point.  'I am not you.'  She can't see, doesn't attempt to see, where his head would be at, what his reality is like.

She's an annoyance, a distraction, potential trouble.  A nuisance.

McMafia

Been watching this t.v. series: McMafia.   Was directed to it by an enthusiastic post somewhere that said it was the greatest.

And I've thought it pretty good.  It got me in straight away.

It has taken until now for me to start having some doubts.  It begins to look silly.

Maybe they're all silly.

This bad (?) Jew the hero is involved with has a girl in his entourage that he (presumably) bought from people smugglers.   A Russian girl.  He uses her in his business dealing as a kind of spy. 

Now she wants very much to go home, naturally, be free of him.  She is like a slave.  Has been since she was kidnapped.

This man is in very bad trouble and she can get him out of it.  But she says he must give her freedom if she does so.

Well, she gets him out of trouble and doesn't get her freedom.

The hero blackmails the Jew to accede to his demands before he'll get him out of trouble.  But he doesn't make one of his demands the freedom on this girl! 

How ludicrous is that?
