Rueben's Ramblings

On February 26, the new AMC drama McMafia will debut at 10 PM.

The series charts Alex Godman’s (James Norton from Grantchester) journey as he is drawn deeper and deeper into the world of organized crime. As the English-raised son of Russian exiles with a mafia history, Alex has spent his life trying to escape the shadow of that criminal past, building his own legitimate business and forging a life with his girlfriend Rebecca (Juliet Rylance from the box office films Sinister and Frances Ha).

But when his family’s past returns to threaten them, Alex is forced to confront his values to protect those he loves. What starts out as a story of survival and revenge becomes an epic tale of a man’s struggle against the lures of corruption in the modern world and in himself.

The cast also includes Faye Marsay (Game of Thrones) and David Strathairn (Alphas and The Blacklist).

Here is a trailer for McMafia:
