MobLand is a rich Cockney crime drama—as if a bunch of Tiny Tims grew up carrying brass knuckles, chips on their shoulders, and East End swagger, delivering brutal blows and backroom brawls that always spill into the streets, sending a message to all: look the other way if you know what’s good for you, or we will beat the curiosity out of you.

Ritchie infuses the series with his signature style and attitude—like chewing shards of glass—gritty, razor-sharp, and full of roguish charm that’s impossible to ignore. It helps when you have a deep bench of actors that create the best cast this year.

That includes Tom Hardy, who is menacingly magnetic and brutally authentic.
