Aranyélet - All Seasons
Season 1
Minden rohad, ami fénylik
The Miklósi family have a life anyone would envy. The father, Attila, is a prosperous entrepreneur; the mother, Janka, does voluntary work at a charity for the homeless. Mira, their daughter, is top of her class and even the rebellious black sheep, Márk, is talented and is planning a career as a rapper.
Their easy living, however, is just an illusion. It conceals some very well-kept secrets – they have a massive bank debt, their luxurious villa actually belongs to a friend in gangland, and they maintain themselves by all kinds of tricks.
When things start getting too much for Attila and he resolves to mend his ways, the family's idyll is shattered. Everyone has different ideas about how they want to get on in life.
Attila would be quite satisfied to work as a labourer but something always frustrates him. In the end, he finds himself caught up in a war between two rival mobsters and is forced to realize that once you're in the underworld, it's hard to get out.
Janka cannot survive without her luxuries and she flees into the arms of another man. At first the wealthy new lover finds life with her exciting, but he soon starts getting fed up with her dark little secrets – not to mention her two maladjusted kids.
Márk takes after his parents and dreams of getting rich without a hitch. This leads him to secretly deputize for his father in the criminal gang. The boy has also inherited his mother's recklessness, though, and when he gets the chance to rip the ganglord off, he doesn't think twice. This proves to be a very bad move – with serious consequences.
Mira distances herself from the dubious principles of the rest of the family and she tries to stand on her own two feet. She comes to see, however, that being honest 24/7 is far from simple. She gets herself into deeper and deeper trouble until she has to admit that she is no different from the others.
The Miklósis must learn a lesson – blood really is thicker than water. But is that enough to hold a family together?
Season 2
Ami nem öl meg, összeköt
In the smash-hit first season of the series, the Miklósi family lived a life of apparent luxury, although their affluence was actually derived from the father's repertoire of dodgy capers and scams. When Attila made up his mind to go straight, however, everything was turned upside down. It soon emerged that everyone had different plans for the future, and the family fell apart.
In season two, the Miklósis have to start over from scratch. Or maybe from a point that is even lower than that. Each is haunted by the past and none of them can put off facing up to the consequences of the decisions they once made any longer. Why did Attila choose to leave the straight and narrow path all those years ago and is there still any prospect of his being able to start afresh with a clean slate? What is the price that Janka is willing to pay to maintain their standard of living? Can the examples set by their parents ever be erased from Márk and Mira's minds or has the chance of becoming normal teenagers been denied them forever?
The members of the family must now deal with more serious problems than ever before. An old friend, believed to be long-dead, reappears in Attila's life, although it soon transpires that he is not what he seems. Ever since he turned over a new leaf, Janka has been unable to respect her husband and now she determines to make an irreversible move. Márk starts his own business, but rashly takes too great a risk. Mira finds love and then instantly loses it again, resorting to desperate means in an attempt to come to terms with her hurt.
How can we live with our guilt? How can we deal with our responsibility? Through the story of the Miklósi family, the profusion of opportunities in post-communist Hungary is revealed alongside the disappointments in store and the possibilities for starting a new.
Season 3
Az örökség utolér
The Miklósi family are living the Golden Life they have always dreamed of: they have moved to an idyllic village in Hungary's Danube Bend, where Janka is running for mayor, while Attila and his best friend, the billionaire Feri Gáll, are laying the groundwork for a massive construction project. Yet behind the tranquil facade of the happiness they have bought with blood and betrayal, passions still rage. Mira and his prosecutor boyfriend Zebegényi are still working together to put the mysterious "Uncle Panda", whom Mira holds responsible for her friend Oszi's death, behind bars. In the meantime, Márk is plotting to avenge the murder of his adored godfather, Hollós. These machinations make the outbreak of war between the kids and their parents increasingly inevitable.

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
