Do not binge this show. But give it a watch.
The show is almost like a slap in the face just in the first 10 or so minutes.Was it a good watch? I would say it was interesting to watch, I liked it. I thought it was just gonna be about sex, money and cars and got way more than I bargained for, which isn't bad in this situation. If you like drama, romance, action and suspense I think this show is pretty okay at all those things but don't get your hopes too high.
The main couple starts off pretty early in the show so there's not much build up other than it being on thin ice for most of it. It felt like the scariest roller coaster on the planet in terms of how up and down it went every episode. The plot twists are pretty big but the story has a lot of plot holes and empty spaces with a lot of lazy world building, especially if you're not familiar with certain concepts they bring up you might get lost.
Why I say you shouldn't binge it? Because as I mentioned before, there's a lot of up and downs rapidly in every episode. I finished it in about 20-24 hours? When I was finished I felt like I was in a mental wreck of confusion and shock despite spoiling most of it because I was looking up stuff about the show and fell into rabbit hole as I was watching it (don't look up anything) . I had no time to process what I was watching and consuming I thought I was gonna pass out.
Some of the acting was a little itchy but I've see WAY worse acting, there are a lot of great acting moments that outweigh any of the bad to the point where it's unnoticeable and the people saying this is bad are crazy. This doesn't even hit the trash list it's very watchable and not unbearable like what others are trying to compare it to, plus the production was well executed and didn't feel like they cut corners just to push the show out like I've seen before.. Pavel was giving it everything, he could get an Oscar just for crying. I say you won't lose anything if you give this a watch. Just prepare to get upset at your screen and a box of tissues for when you do watch. Pause a lot and take deep breaths.
