Storyline

Largo (Winch) is the illegitimate son of Nerio Winch, a billionaire industrialist, who did business very much in a greyish manner. When Nerio sensed that his time was up he named Largo his heir, who didn't know that Nerio's his father. Together with Simon, a friend whom he met when he was in prison, Joy, Nerio's bodyguard, Karinsky, a former KGB computer expert, and John Sullivan, Nerio's attorney, Largo tries to right some of the wrongs that Nerio may have done and to keep up the good that he has done. And every now and then Largo has to shoot his way out the situation that he finds himself in.

User Reviews

The adventures of a real life comic book hero

Not many series featuring an hero taken out of the hardcover comic books and adapted for television with real humans can become so successful that its success has gone beyond the co-producers hope in France. Why ? because Largo is an hero who deals with real problems in the real world in each episodes. No magic powers, exagerated special effects and gimmicks like they use with other comic books hero that have been adapted for television. Of course, the main actor's charm played a lot for the success of this series and now has a loyal following of fans, and so has the rest of his team helping him. What is the main attraction of this series ? apart from the search for the truth about his father, there is the Adriatic Commission. A secret organization trying to get rid of Largo and who its goal is to control the world. Will they succeed ? well, you will find out by watching the 2 seasons of this internationally made television series.
