Thanks for the link, thujone! Here's a bit more information I found :
Aranyélet (
Golden Life) is a
Hungarian crime drama television series loosely based on Finnish series
Helppo elämä produced by
HBO and originally aired from 2015 to 2018 starring
Szabolcs Thuróczy,
Eszter Ónodi,
Renátó Olasz,
Laura Döbrösi and
Zsolt Anger. After the commercial and critical success of the first season, HBO Europe renewed
Aranyélet for a second season, which premiered on November 6, 2016. The complete third and final season was released via
HBO Go on October 14, 2018, and premiered on the same day on HBO Hungary and on all of the European HBO3 channels.
Critical reception
Aranyélet has received widespread critical acclaim and is praised by many critics as the greatest
Hungarian television show of all time. On
IMDb, it holds a rating of 9/10, making it the highest rated television series produced by
HBO Europe. As of July, 2019 it is the 65th highest rated television series.
After the first season,
IGN Hungary wrote
Aranyélet is not just the best Hungarian television series ever made, but it is also one of HBO's best thrillers.
"It is characterized by steadily high-quality acting and creative work, a great plot and perfect way of storytelling, not to mention the unforgettable characters, who are defined by our problems, our narrow-mindedness, and our country. Be very proud of them."
Player.hu writes
"Without a doubt, HBO's original crime family drama seems to be the best Hungarian series. Every actor is perfect, it looks good, and tells the story in an excellent way. What's more, it is quite addictive."
The second season met with positive critical reception as well, IGN Hungary described the season as
"more exciting, crazier, darker, has more plot twists, but it is more human than the first season. In conclusion despite the exaggerations and being too action-packed sometimes, it is still a masterpiece, which makes our expectations even higher for the next round."
Season 3 has mixed reviews - critics praised the season's political themes, acting, being even more reflective on
Hungarian politics and corruption, with many criticizing the plot, character development and the ending.

I don't see it on Netflix. I do see it on Prime, but to view it you have to subscribe to HBO, and that's +$14.99/month. Only season 1 episode 3 (Golden Life) is freely available for download now. Maybe keep checking
Bit Che until it shows up there, if you don't want to pay...
Thanks for the tip!!
