The underworld crime story conceit of the innocent desperate to unshackle himself from his dark legacy is beautifully reworked in James Norton’s ambitious London banker, Alex Godman, son of a Russian mobster. Caught between two worlds, his moral predicament is at once fascinating and devastating. Magnificently shot in lavishly dressed, exotic locations, this is a gripping and provocative drama that delves into the contemporary Russian psyche.
