Largo Winch is a popular series, and that's no surprise. A charming main character, a perfect blend of upper class jet set environments and lots of action - without too much blood. Sexy women - without too much nudity. Interesting personalities, credible environments, in short, an entertaining series for all that don't expect too much depth.

This was a one-time shot, that has a remarkable resemblance to Finkel. It was supposed to be the first of a series, but it seems that it was abandoned in favor of Finkel. Not a bad choice, in my opinion.
