An eight episode series, from belgium! The wolfson family is in the diamond business. But when they run into trouble, noah (kevin janssens) returns home to help. Someone has been gambling away the funds, so now they are at war with a bookie. Lots of knocks on the albanians, similar to peter falk's character in "tune in tomorrow". Noah wants to help the family, but there are many roadblocks. His family, deep in the jewish faith, is angry with him. He's taking on the bookie thugs, and needs to figure out how to pay off his suppliers, in spite of the lack of funds. He's finally trying to raise the son he left so long ago. And... his own selfish, manipulative mother isn't helping the situation. And here come the cops, nosing around. So many battles to fight, all at once. It's quite good! Each chapter brings another challenge that the family must face together. Not the most satisfying conclusion in chapter eight, but it did wrap up some of the main issues. I think they were waiting to see if there would be more episodes. I hope so.
