Just binge watched this and really enjoyed it.Superbly wrapped up in the final episode with twist after twist.Well constructed and executed storyline in the limited episodes.Forgot Rahda is an Australian actress. Enjoyed her performance. Too bad she didn't get her kit off more often. What a body. Looks like doing yoga and being a vegetarian is very good for you. Inspired! Great emotional performances showing humanity and forgiveness in this diabolical world of crime and greed where misdeeds and betrayal can come from unexpected sources.Loved the ending. What a family.Messed up.Well done team. You should be proud.Like I said, I enjoyed it.

I was willing to give this would-be thriller/drama a chance to develop. Damsel in distress. Check. Damsel has the potential to kick ass. Check. Menacing characters. Almost. Colorful characters. Meh. Sexual tension. Check. Spoiler Alert! First of all, it's ridiculous that Schiller went from being a menacing figure who presumably killed Marta's husband, to being a nice guy that she can take home to the kids. It leaves us without a mysterious villain..... Marta's dad killed her husband? She hardly seems bothered by it. Secondly, they should not have killed Luther. If anything, they should have killed the brother. Killing Luther allows the show to have false closure regarding the death of Marta's husband. Marta's father ordered the killing and she knows it. I have no doubt that next season they'll gloss over this and she will reconcile with her father. There existed sexual tension between Luther and Marta - as much more so than with her and Schiller. It would have made for an excellent triangle. Instead the goofy bozo brother is still around. By killing the dad's girlfriend they are further tightening the immediate family relationships. Dad embraces goofy brother. Mom wants dad back in her bed. Luther should have lived and the dad should have been in the ICU, with his girlfriend at his side. Finally, the killing of Alexandra, was not surprising... but it serves to now unite the Schiller and Marta against Alexandra's family who will seek revenge. Yawn. Why don't they just get married?Oh, and that last scene.... silliness at it's worst. You could almost see Schiller thinking: my future girlfriend's daughter sure has spunk!

So here it is, fine. I return to the IMDb, after some months -- or is it years?? Planning to make comments about a specific "Red Widow," character (irwin). But then the, IMHO, totally inaccurate ratings score, for the whole series, so far?? its bogus. It caught my attention. And what was that number??..I FREAKED OUT!!, lol! Because, WTF?? Reason??: the IMDb rating/score, was way too low!! Again, because, IMHO, this TV series is not anything less than AWESOME!! Newbies? Do NOT believe the seemingly eligible or the hype, that the moms demographic, is true! It is NOT!!.. And it's not their fault, OK.?? Because, maybe yes, I'm just a random video participating human movie director/producer who could use - in a gazillion different ways - a ratings boost? Fine. But plz. don't judge me & also pray the sincerity my super sincere coaches is easily revealed.

Can Marta successfully transform herself from soccer-mom suburban housewife to big-league drug smuggler? She's quite delicious, and convincing, too, as she struggles with her new, and very much unwanted, role. She fumbles and stumbles, and we agonize over her struggle, rooting for this very nice young mother to succeed in the world of tough drug smuggling. Talk about being out of one's depth! But she is, after all, the daughter of a Russian mobster, so evidently she's got the genes for the job. "Marta, you've changed," her father says, impressed with her new toughness. Indeed! And we get to root for her to be successful in a serious criminal activity. I have to wonder how the writers will resolve the dilemma of allowing a criminal action to succeed, while not offering any approval of heroin smuggling.Or will she succeed? If she does not, how will she keep her family safe? Who shot her husband dead? Who took the 75 kilos of heroin that had been stashed in her boat? Man, am I hooked on this show.It helps that Radha Mitchell is intensely desirable. If there's a serious flaw in the plot, it's the way Bob shrugs off her advances, as she tries to befriend him, planning to bribe him to be a partner in the crime. It's hard enough to believe that Marta could enjoy a luxurious life in an expensive Marin County home while never noticing that her husband's rental-fishboat profession cannot possibly support such a rich lifestyle. It's much harder to believe that any man with normal hormones could blithely brush off the advances of such a woman, slender, sexy, and clearly interested in him. That just does not compute.Marta is the heart of the show, and manages to be credible at both soccer-momhood, and wannabe-drug smuggler. One moment she's laughing with ice cream and her children – and then the phone rings, and she's back in the drug-smuggling world, and utterly terrified. That's what makes the show work. We love her, and we really want her to succeed in this awful Russian-mobster role. I can't wait until Sunday, and the next episode.
