To be honest, if I were younger, I might have enjoyed this. But I've been through a lot. I'm almost 60, I've been through addiction and prison, and life on the margins, I've met the real "dangerous" up close.
Let me tell you, there's nothing glamorous or heroic about this, nor is there the easy life you're portraying.
My mind is still trying to piece together all the details, but it's such a naive narrative and it's exhausting, it's mindless. This narrative doesn't speak to me anymore, and I say this with no bitterness towards the creators. It just needs to evolve.
It's time to stop romanticizing these cartoonish depictions of so-called mobsters who are neither cruel nor noble, but often cowards who mostly hide all day and leave violence and fear behind.
And Guy Ritchie, I remember you from when you were driving a tanker in Ios, Greece.
We were all really happy when you did it.
But it's been over 30 years, and you keep hearing the same tired story. Yes, it still sells. But where is the art in repeating the same old myth?
You're showing and provoking the worst human emotions because they sell!
It feels outdated, and most importantly, disconnected from reality.
As someone who has spent his life in the trenches and now works in drug policy, I want to see stories that challenge these clichés. But who has such luck Show us a future where users test their substances, where clubs have safe user zones and relaxation spaces, with harm reduction workers guiding them. Where friends don't kill their friends Where there are antidotes available, and yes, marketers who actually care about not killing their customers.
Because the smart marketer want you alive, even if you walk in with a stick?
Why do we keep recycling stories of violence and cruelty, instead of imagining systems of care and accountability? Why must brutality still be glorified?
It's not just tired, it's dangerous.
Maybe I'm naive to think we could reshape this narrative.
But if we don't try, who will?
I've seen too much and I'm too tired to pretend anymore. We need new stories, stories that save lives instead of selling myths soaked in blood.
It may not sell I'm afraid ,but someone has to try!

Some rates already wrote about Papakaliatis previous series. You can't imagine how many positive changes it has made. Very mature series and range right in the heart of Greek society!
A society that refuses to follow the European way of life and EU values, and still recalls the ugly past with civil wars and polarised citizens A society whose loosing all the youth in a brain drain procedure going to better EU countries
I saw a lot of it in this mirror called "Maestro" it's our mindset our culture our vote and more I'm 55 and since school I expect to be European, we're not there yet after 50 years, and this series really highlights why that is...Sometimes a series can play an important role in better understanding the situations. I guess tourist in the summertime doesn't really have an idea about all this .
