Ganglands

I like this serie very much being a dark no-nonsense story. Though some reviews mention bad acting for me it was very good acting but I guess that some people prefer a more mainstream hollywood approach which is not in this serie but just makes it so great.

I would also mention a 10/10 for the visual effects team because they are great! Gun sounds, impact of bullets are well thougth and very realistic.

Looking forward to see more!

This was an amazing show , don't listen to the bad reviews , people have become so idiotic in their comments that they think they can write better scripts or direct better yet they are useless binging punks.l who have nothing good to say .

Absolutely loved this series, dubbed into English. Fast moving, non-stop action virtually all the way through. Most of the cast are new to me except the guy playing Mehdi. Basic story involves a drugs heist, a drugs war and double crossing is standard, plenty of action and even where there isn't any, the storyline is interesting. The viewer can't see what's coming next in this try as he may, unlike some movies where you can see what's going to happen 10 minutes before it does, There's a high body count, plenty of hand to hand fighting also. Well worth its 8 points!

This is a very good show, but there are holes.

The main hole for me was the main female LGHDTV character. She has ZERO redeeming qualities; she's INCREDIBLY MASCULINE, self-centered, arrogant, egotistical, disrespectful, irritating and puts those around her in danger because she's completely oblivious to the concept of actions having consequences and repercussions. I cannot stand her.

SHE IS DETESTABLE!!

She spends most of the series furious with others over messes that she'd caused herself, mainly getting people killed.

When the baddies would show up, I'd be shouting at the screen, "kill her, she's well past overdue!!"

She's the main hole, for me: the baddies had plenty of opportunities to dispatch one of the most anger-inducing characters to date, yet she's always managed to come out unscathed, like a cockroach. I cannot stand her.

At least give her some redeeming qualities, so that we don't all want her to get what she's long overdue😬

If you're expecting Godfather: The Series, this isn't it.

But if you want some action packed entertainment? Watch this. Is it perfect? No, of course not. No action movies or series with gunfights are. I mean Die Hard, one of the best action movies of all time, is ridiculously unrealistic. Any revenge movies, John Wick, Taken, etc, those types are far from realistic...but you know what you are getting into

Someone complained about one crew (they refer to as "good guys") being able to kill plenty of guys, but you are talking about guys who were obviously military special forces wearing bulletproof suits, highly trained, sharpshooters with state of the art weaponry, against a bunch of drug dealers and their hired help. I mean of course these guys will be hard to take down, just like they are in wartime.

It's not for the faint of heart either. No the acting isn't great but there are a few solid characters you want to pull for even if they may have created their own messes.

If you like to pick things apart that may seem unrealistic, this may not be for you but if you just want to watch something full of action and some good real characters, it's definitely worth a watch. I did see a mention of Snabba Cash. That was a solid one too.
