A big scandal and years and years of scheming taken down. Meanwhile, many people suffer while the bad guys try to hang onto their secrets and dreamy lives.
This could be the show's synopsis, but in the end, I think it’d suffice to say this is a showcase of the underlying mechanisms of corruption.
Out of Sight, Out of Mind
We all know it exists everywhere, all around the world, but watching it like this is both surprising and disgusting.
The show is about money, cold hard dollars. Millions of them, actually. Dirty money that involves the government and the top companies in the country, but that is, unfortunately, normal.
Yet, unlike House of Cards, which focuses on political corruption, The Mechanism goes further.
It might not make sense for everyone, but what messed with me the most was the example they gave of “small corruption.” It seems like nothing out of the ordinary in the beginning… but it’s everything, everywhere. The corruption is the basis; it’s a way of life.
The Reality Behind The Mechanism
The story has a great basis in reality, as most of us well know, and it’s good. There’s nothing more surprising than reality, right?
The production is good, with amazing actors, and an ending that makes us eager for the new season. I really enjoyed it, but sometimes, I warn you, you might feel very frustrated by what you’re watching. Some of this stuff is just too real to ignore or feel nothing about.
