Welcome to the unforgiving world of finance. Did you know that he can be sexy? Available since this weekend on OCS, the new Italian series Devils shows us by immersing ourselves in the world of trading. It deploys several assets to attract a large audience of the uninitiated.
Among its strengths, a solid cast. Patrick Dempsey, known for his role as the brilliant and attractive "Doctor Mamour" in Grey's Anatomy , is headlining. “We were looking for a fascinating, American actor, appreciated in Europe and known internationally. Patrick Dempsey is the one who could encourage women to watch this series and make the world of finance more attractive ... We also chose it because we love Grey's Anatomy (laughs) ", explained to 20 Minutes on the sidelines of filming in February 2019 in Rome (Italy) producer Luca Bernabei.

The Italian Alessandro Borghi and the German Pia Mechler complete the cast in endearing roles that many people can identify with. “Pia interprets an accomplished and tough commercial agent. It develops in a boy club but manages to beat men at their own game, summed up in 20 Minutes Nick Hurran, director of Devils . The world of finance associated with the personal stories of the characters and their success, their pain, their love, makes the series an excellent storytelling . "
"Now I can retrain and go to work in a bank"
And if you too were dropped when you saw Margin Call for the first time, do not panic. You are not alone! The actors of the Devils series themselves found it difficult to follow when discovering their script. In addition to their personal research and exchanges with former trader Guido Maria Brera (whose novel inspired the series), all the actors were treated to a workshop to understand their character and especially understand their profession. And it worked.
“With Devils I discovered a world of which I knew nothing. My character accompanies the point of view of viewers because it begins in this area and brings a new look. He discovers the world of finance at the same time as the public, ”explains Malachi Kirby, the interpreter of Oliver Harris.
“I had a lot of first time in Devils, also tells Alessandro Borghi, the interpreter of Massimo. The series was my first role in English, and my first role associated with finance. At first, I had trouble understanding certain concepts but Guido Maria Brera helped me a lot. He explained the trade to me clearly without going into details, but enough for me to understand the role of a trader, he was like my captain. Now I can retrain and go to work in a bank (laughs) ”.
And if you do not plan a retraining in finance, the actress Pia Mechler has a last message for you: "I could observe and learn a lot by meeting a woman trader in New York. The numbers that we say in the series and that we bet on are very abstract. But the series is also interested in the destinies of characters with a lot of emotions and twists, while making connections with the real world. It's going to be breathtaking. "
