Me and my wife were glued to the screen watching 2-3 and once even 4 episodes back to back on a rainy day. The story and the characters suck you in from the set go, and that is the most important attribute a series should have,--to keep the viewers, even get them addicted.
As far as the "Hungarian reality" part mentioned by many, I rather think of it as "Hungarian reality based or influenced" just as for example no US western series ever showed the reality of the taking and populating the West, but they had elements based on some more or less factual events documented in a more or less sensationalized way.
I really liked the subtle satire present all the way through the series including in the action scenes, and perhaps this was setting it best apart from most of the in-the-face Hollywood style satires or the non-stop action movies. Its rhythm worked most of times alternating melodrama and high-hearth-rate action spiced with some of the reality based events of the Wild-East of the 1990's and the nostalgic flash-backs of the last years of the existing (East-European) socialism.
Very good entertainment, truly riveting with a an ending perhaps a bit out of the flow of the series and with some uncharacteristic events in light of the former lifestyle and conduct of the "golden life" family, it seemed more like a fable element to educate the viewer to consider the alternatives of chasing the money with no regards to the law, and other people outside the "family".
