What happens

Aranyélet ([ˈɒrɒɲeːlɛt]; Golden Life) is a Hungarian crime drama television series loosely based on Finnish series Helppo elämä. The show was produced by HBO Europe and originally aired from November 8, 2015 to December 2, 2018 on HBO Hungary 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. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
