Terra da Máfia

MobLand is a fantastic film that completely exceeded my expectations. The story is gripping, the atmosphere intense, and every scene feels raw and real.

Tom Hardy delivers an outstanding performance - cold, calm, and terrifying at the same time. He brings depth to his character in a way few actors can. The pacing is tight, the cinematography is beautiful yet gritty, and the tension builds constantly.

If you enjoy crime thrillers with strong acting and a dark tone, Mob Land is a must-watch.

10/10.

MobLand delivers exactly what you'd expect from a top-tier crime drama - and perhaps even more. The screenplay is incredibly well-constructed, with sharp editing and a clear, efficient introduction of characters, free from any redundancy. Information is revealed at the right pace, and the use of parallel storylines only enhances the main narrative rather than distracting from it.

Character development is handled to perfection: each figure is explored to the exact extent necessary, with depth and intention. The scenes are well-framed from the beginning, making it easy to dive into the story and follow its progression. The plot unfolds naturally, maintaining suspense and engagement throughout.

There may be a moment or two where one could argue a storyline could've been tied up differently - but in the end, everything is resolved. Any debate lies purely in creative choice, not in oversight. Every thread is ultimately connected.

This is a polished, well-directed, well-written, and well-acted series. A prime example of how to deliver a layered narrative with clarity, rhythm, and emotional impact. A solid 10.

The first few episodes were really slow, and I almost gave up. But I stuck with it and it paid off. The acting is tremendous. Probably one of the best things Tom Hardy has ever done. His character builds and you buy into him being the fixer. Pierce Bronson and Helen Mirren give great performances. I am looking forward to season two.

MobLand is a solid gangster show. Tom Hardy as Harry Da Souza is brilliant, and other characters like Conrad and Maeve Harrigan are also strong. The story is emotional and keeps you on edge. It's not very bloody, but still intense, might feel too much for sensitive viewers.

There's a good plot twist at the end (no spoilers). If you liked Ray Donovan, this will feel familiar. Still, it's well-acted, well-made, and worth a watch.

MobLand is a sort of Roman history-like / Shakespearean over the top crime show that brings Miller's Crossing together with a Guy Ritchie-type universe.

Our "hero" is Tom Hardy, fixer guy for The Harringon Family, led by the diabolical and insane Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren. They want to expand into the fentanyl business, but their son may have been involved in a homicide with a rival crime lord's son...and now it's "nuclear war." Tom Hardy has to protect both his crime family and his real family - and win the war.

This show is a lot of fun. The acting is great and the production value is superb. The theme some / credits intro for this show might be the best of any show since Game of Thrones, and it really jazzes you up and gets you excited for the story.

The writing is mostly really good, but it ranges from over the top to kind of underwhelming. For example, there is a scene with a chainsaw that is bloodshed and madness, but what should have been a game-changer turned into something where then there is never really much of an emotional resonance from anyone. Characters kind of just "go on." Also, it introduces this crime lord to be the main antagonist, and I think by the end it's unclear what made him such a threat in the first place.

Lastly, this world is full of backstabbing and chaos, it's so over-the-top that nobody who existed in this world could be real, and that is both part of the fun and also the challenge of MobLand. It's in no way shape or form a real look at mob life - it's more like a Roman-era bloody tale of madness and revenge.

But, whatever.

The show is a total binge-worthy blast and I'd absolutely watch a second season.
