MobLand

Overall this a great show and absolutely worth a binge. The cast is amazing, but Tom Hardy does indeed steal the show. The first couple episodes are amazing, and then it takes a different direction then what I was expecting of the show.

There is a lot of unnecessary situations and underhanded behaviour that made me raise an eyebrow often as it just didn't seem natural. Mostly Guy Ritchie seems to be keeping us in the dark on certain people's motives, but right now there is some serious sociopathic behaviour occurring. This is supposed to be a well known criminal family but they make some really unintelligent moves that make me wonder how they survived this long.

I'm genuinely hoping some motives come to the surface in season 2. Maybe a bit more backstory. Otherwise it's a fun watch!

All the tropes are here: cutthroat rivalries, rub-outs, beatdowns, bombings, bloodshed, car chases, hard-to-handle gangster wannabes, stymied cops...everything. When the out-of-control grandson of a big-time crime lord does something to set off grandpa's arch-nemesis, the gloves come off, the game faces go on, and all-out war is declared. Stuck in the middle of it is the old man's hulking fixer, Harry, who walks with the relaxed, rolling gait of a professional boxer, threatens his boss' enemies with bone-chilling cool, and metes out punishment with the ease of a born killer. If it all sounds familiar, that's because it is; call it "The Sopranos" with British and Irish accents, and a London setting instead of a Jersey one. Nevertheless, Tom Hardy as Harry makes for a compelling and at times enjoyably complicated villain (in addition to all the running around he has to do on behalf of his employer, he's got matrimonial problems back home), Pierce Brosnan as the clan's elderly patriarch is about as far from his 007 years as he could possibly get (translation: he's just as dangerous, but way more cold-blooded), and Helen Mirren as Brosnan's all-business-all-the-time wife nails her role so perfectly that she makes the uber-ambitious Lady Macbeth look like Mother Teresa. If sudden bursts of brutality, lots of four-letter words, and enough blood to blanket a battlefield don't turn you off, this is the drama for you. (And yes, there's even some humor.) I've seen three episodes so far, and intend to return for more. "MobLand" is definitely worth a visit. Recommended.

This is a standout series that combines Guy Ritchie's signature style with a compelling story and unforgettable characters. It's a gritty and stylish journey on the brink of chaos.

If you go in expecting Snatch or The Gentlemen, you'll be surprised. But if you're open to a character-driven dive, then Mob Land is a diamond. Just leave your Ritchie expectations at the door and prepare for a different kind of underworld journey.

Each episode features standout performances from an exceptional cast including Hardy, Brosnan and Mirren that elevates the series, with each actor bringing their A-game to the table. Tom Hardy delivers a tour-de-force performance that anchors the series. His makes the character both believable and compelling. The supporting cast is equally impressive

This one is highly recommended. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, episode after episode.

Classic Guy Ritchie, thick conversations, escalation, nice character building. I haven't yet reached the climax but call me biased this is bussin. I already vibe with the one and only Tom Hardy. Classic London scenery, you 100% feel there and somehow feels like it is in the Gentlemen's universe. Amazing story teller that guy and great narrative optics. You see almost irrelevant characters unravel in the series and love that it is a series and not a movie. At this point I am done, I just need to meet the minimum characters in order to publish this review. You know I love you all cinematics and if you have any movies in this spectrum please feel free to send them over my way.

A stylish ride through a world of rival gangs, betrayal, and power plays - this is a must-watch for fans of criminal dramas.

The series aims high-and hits its mark. From the opening scene-the show grabs you by the collar and doesn't let go.

Hardy is electric as Harry. Brosnan plays Conrad with a steely menace, and Mirren's Maeve is ruthless.

Ritchie's flair is on full display and keeps you hooked: Intricate plotting, razor-sharp dialogue, memorable characters, and stylistic violence. No one's a hero, just survivors playing a deadly game. Ritchie's expert craftsmanship ensures it feels fresh and exhilarating.
