Don't be fooled by the many glowing reviews, which, oddly enough, are by brand-new accounts with only one review (Mobland) to their name...
I'm not saying this show is all bad.
It's just a bid generic - generic killings, car chases, plot twists, etc.
And soapy - my good god, is it soapy.
I don't care for soapy, but many people do, I suppose - and if you are one of those; Dive right in!
Otherwise: Go re-watch the Sopranos or Breaking bad.
Who knew a combo of Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Guy Ritchie AND a bunch of Britain's greatest character actors would turn out to be strictly mediocre?
Well, shaite happens...

I'm Irish and have lived in Ireland all my 52 years. Why is Pierce Brosnan not able to do a convincing accent in this, when he's also, you know, Irish? It is so cringeworthy to hear. They've obviously asked him to go full mob Irish and he can't do it justice AT ALL. His scenes with Helen Mirren - also delivering a terrible Irish accent - come across like comic relief plonked in the middle of some genuinely interesting and exciting work from the rest of the cast.
Thankfully they only take up about a quarter of screen time, so my high rating is all for Tom Hardy, who yet again, serves up a nuanced and believable character. He's mesmerising to watch. He almost underplays it (which makes Brosnan's overacting even more jarring). I'm intrigued to see where this goes.

The casting is spot on, with Mirren and Brosnan as a nasty mob boss couple, the Harrigans, who ignite the screen like dynamite ready to blow away your senses with their evil doings. If that doesn't put the fear in you, then there is the fixer, Harry Da Souza (played by the cool cold steel talents of Tom Hardy), who is also a loving husband and father, and in between carries out dirty work for the mob family. A small situation gets out of hand, and it is going to get very ugly. So with Guy Ritchie directing the first episode and setting the tone, you know it is going to be a tense bloodbath with anything goes...
The last 2 or 3 episodes are quite ridiculous in how effortless the casual killing sprees are, and how fictional and convenient certain plot devices are.
I was hoping for something a bit more intelligent and cunning, but this series falls victim to laziness and convenience. It wants to be smart, but wanders into cheesy cliches on occasion.
Many unanswered questions by the end, but even if you had the answers they'd be implausible and impossible. Just accept it. This isn't sophisticated storytelling, it's blunt force rounded edges.
Yes yes, the Hardy character is good, up until he performs a miracle one-man operation against a gang on their turf, and comes out without a scratch. Okay, cool.
The final unravelling is all a bit messy, almost like the writers were in hurry to wrap things up. Maybe they got word there wouldn't be a second season. Honestly I don't think it deserves a second season.

Tom Hardy. That's it.
Great to see him back in something substantial after years wasting his talent in those godawful super hero films or turgid biker movies.
Anyway, dubious accents from Mirren and Brosnan notwithstanding, this is very good stuff so far. Slow burn sure, but I'm loving the controlled menace from Hardy - his understated anti-hero is like comfort food.
Good story telling and nice performances from Paddy and others. And I'm glad the Guy Ritchie signature style is dialled back.
Really looking forward to future eps.
Every director and producer out there, hire Tom Hardy, please. He's so damn good.

- WissenswertesThe series was originally intended to be a prequel to Ray Donovan. In February 2024, Paramount+ released the premise of the series, which was to be titled the Donovans, stating, "With the most powerful clients in Europe, The Donovans will see family fortunes and reputations at risk. Odd alliances unfold, and betrayal around every corner; and while the family might be London's most elite fixers today, the nature of their business means there is no guarantee what's in store tomorrow." The story was believed to be centered around Ray Donovan's character, which would explore the rise and formation of his criminal enterprise. Guy Ritchie was named as the director and executive producer. In October 2024, Paramount+ announced that the spinoff idea was called off and the show was rewritten to become its own standalone series with no narrative connection to Ray Donovan. Guy Ritchie remained on the creative team.
