McMafia Review

This was another great episode of McMafia. It was a tad bit slow, but very intriguing from start to finish. Things have finally gotten serious. Vadim struck first, but it doesn’t appear that his strike was deadly. Rebecca will most likely lose the child, but she will likely survive. Nevertheless, it is questionable whether or not her relationship with Alex can survive. Now, it is time for Alex to strike back. How far is he willing to go? I wouldn’t be surprised to see Natasha get caught up in the mix.

The episode was very good. An 8 out of 10 is deserved. Catch up with previous recaps of McMafia right now!
