The Mechanism as a series over 8 episodes is probably just enough of the series and hopefully that’s where it ends. Look there’s some great true based threads from Brasil and the corruption. However, the little intricacies that were really unrealistic were the jail scenes where the entire syndicate were detained in a most unlikely jail setup. Reminded me of the jail cells in a an western film. Male and female prisoners in the same jail row. It was pretty captivating for the first 5 episodes then I found it a bit tedious and repetitive. Although it was refreshing to see a series that hadn’t come off the Hollywood machine. And it wasn’t the ‘ready mix’ formula we’ve been Force fed.
