Largo Winch - Gefährliches Erbe

I usually get bored with action series but somehow Largo Winch was impossible to be bored with. The show in some way creates a world of it's own and I find that new and interesting. Besides the action the show also had mystery as Largo found out more about his father's history. And I always appreciated the friendship between Largo and Simon. Too often in similar type of shows friends end up as each other's enemies but here the friendship lasted throughout everything that happened. Also as a nice bonus the characters were very good-looking, men and women, but never mindless bimbos. They all had brains and personality as well as looks. I was sad when the show ended because except for some minor faults I thought the show was brilliant!

This is a super cool story. With a red hot hunk and a super lady. My goodness, why are we only seeing this now? The best is the tension between Joyce and Largo, Man when are they going to get together? Largo is such a casinova.... and a caring one too.

Please, please let there be more where this came from. It is the very best story ever.

So many cultures and backrounds mixed together and blended to a perfect taste of laughter, tears, tension and action.

Go get them and please do not wait too long before you show us the Largo Winch III

Largo...ummm...what to say. Entertaining. that is actually the first word that pops into mind. yes, true that the plot is far from original, having been based on some cartoon from Europe, but hell, Largo Winch is a slick, SEXY man. add the fact that the series has humour, a lovely leading lady and a drop dead gorgeous leading man, what more could you ask for? Seganti's acting isnt bad either. if i was going to critique something, it would have been that.

out of 10, i'll give it a pleasant 7.5!

First I was very afraid. I thought, just another comic book adaption that will rape the original comic book itself. BUT it's a GREAT adaption. It has the action from the comic book, the photography and stunts are super, and most of the actors really look like the ones in the comic books. Seganti really looks like Largo,but Wallraff(Ovronnaz) and Houde (Sullivan) are both coming so close to their comic book alter ego that it's almost amazing ! On the other hand I was a bit disappointed in the character of Van Dreema that doesn't look at all like the comic book version and the character of Nerio that looks like a playboy while in the comic book he's a sick and old man in a wheelchair (except in flashbacks) I'am also missing 3 very important characters from the comic book in this series until now (I only saw the first episode). Where are Miss Pennywinkle, Mr.Cochrane and the evil Mr. Cotton ??? Now we only have Cardignac as evil person but in the comic books he's killed by Ovronnaz in the 2nd book. Will this character be the evil one for all 26 episodes ? Personally I would suggest the producers to make a prequel of the series as a full movie where the plotline and all characters of the comic books are more present. In most cases we first get a movie and then a television series. Why not do it the opposite way now ???? Anyway this series is A MUST SEE for anyone who likes some good action and entertainment, but if you're a fan and reader of the comic books you might (I said might) be a little bit disappointed from time to time.

I accidentally happened across an episode of Largo Winch about 3 months ago and was totally hooked on the show right away. I have seen almost every episode (there are 39 episodes in total - including the 2 hour pilot) and am currently trying to record all of the episodes on DVD. (To date I have 18 recorded) The show has a lot of action and adventure and in addition, the episodes usually have a sub-plot as well as the main plot - so the episodes are never boring, move along well, and capture your interest. I feel that all of the actors in the cast were well picked and really play their roles well and are believable - as well as they have the chemistry required to make a show work and they all interact well with each other. This is definitely one of my all-time favorite shows, and I highly recommend it to anyone. Currently, it is playing on Showcase at 10:00 AM - EST in case you're wondering. A point of interest for the women...(in case you're not familiar with the show - and I can't resist saying this) Paulo Seganti is a major hottie and makes watching the show worthwhile just to drool...lol. FOR THE GUYS....Sydney Penny plays Joy Arden - Largo's female bodyguard - she does an awesome job and could very well be worth your interest....
