McMafia Review

Alex and Dimitri have really gotten themselves into trouble now. As the episode got started, it appeared that there might be peace between Alex and Vadim. After Kleiman visited Vadim, it was clear that Vadim wasn’t going to let that happen. Now, Alex has lost a baby and Vadim has lost his daughter. Things are going to end badly for one or both in Moscow. The next episode should be thrilling.

I can’t wait to see how things play out. This episode was very good. An 8 out of 10 is deserved. Catch up with previous recaps of McMafia now!
