McMafia episode 5 preview: Is Alex and Rebecca’s happiness short-lived?
With the life that Alex has adopted over the first four episodes of this series, he has establish himself in a position where he often has to make a choice — there’s money, and then there’s happiness. Sometimes you can have the two together, but that’s very rare in the line of work that Alex now finds himself in. Instead, he’s in a position where the job is going to overwhelm and take away whatever sort of hope that he has for a normal life elsewhere.
Below, the McMafia episode 5 official synopsis that CarterMatt has for you gives you a little bit more insight as to what is coming up:
Semiyon’s fortunes continue to rise but he and Alex disagree on how to proceed, with Alex wanting to turn the pressure up on Vadim (Merab Ninidze). In the UK, Alex and Rebecca (Juliet Rylance) announce their engagement – but it is clear he is distracted. The next morning he receives a shocking call: Semiyon (David Strathairn) has been arrested in Tel Aviv…
Having almost lost hope that Semiyon will ever let her go, Lyudmilla (Sofya Lebedeva) realises she might have some leverage. Meanwhile, Masha (Maria Mashkova) confesses her secret to Katya (Faye Marsay), and, with Alex away in Israel, Rebecca grows closer to Antonio (Caio Blat).
We’ve made it to the halfway point of the show now, and what that ultimately means is that we’re at the tipping point. We know some of these characters and understand who they are and what they want. What happens now is seeing if there’s a way to repair much of the damage that’s been done. Alex is at a position where if he takes a few steps further into the mob side of his life, the other side could vanish right before his eyes.
