I absolutely love Nicola Walker in everything she is in, but this show seems to be written especially for her. Her dry wit is hilarious and also her non-verbal communication. The other actors are equally great in their roles. Beautiful landscapes as well. I like that it's a different case each episode. Binged the two seasons, hoping for a third!

About twenty minutes in I had simething like a deja-vu moment. Dialogue sharp and fast but not really saying anything. Sounding clever and witty but whatever are they actually talking about???!! And then it hit me:Succession!!!! That's when i checked the maker of this movie and found out he was the creator of Succesion. And where Succesion worked (for me) with the acidic but empty and passive agressive dialogue, this movie did not do it for me. This is not working in a feature movie. I'll go back to watching Succession again, for the storyline and the comedical input of Kieran Kulkin. The Succesion characters actually had a (be it minor) human side to them, these guys in Mountainhead seem to just blurt out technical terms and empty phrases. They lost me after half an hout.

Never got around to watching this series, though it's been on my watchlist for a while now. Finally started season 1. Excellent!!! Gary Oldman is obnoxious but amazing. Season 2 was good as well though a bit confusing with all the Russian names and characters. Season 3 is fantastic. Intrigues and intricate conspiracies and also a lot of humour. I'm going to keep going with season 4. Good acting all around and no filler episodes which is a nice change from the usual shows these days where a 6 episode show gets stretched out to an 8 episode slow story with a lot of filler eps. Recommend highly!!!
