“From the offset, Peshang Rad’s performance as Radovan “Jakov” Jakovic will draw you in to his seedy little world. He seems to take on one humiliation after the other – he is just a small cog in a very organised criminal underworld. His wire-rimmed glasses and ill-fitting 90s tracksuit make him look like a sombre accountant trying to be trendy. He is an unlikely criminal mastermind. And yet, Rad imbues him with a fiery ambition that burns through his brooding stare. We get the sense that his character, who is an orphan, has been broken many times before but has always found a way back. As the series progresses, his tracksuit is swapped for an actual suit and we see the true extent of his desire for power. It’s a fascinating performance that will have viewers constantly second-guessing.”
