MobLand

This really slapped man... So, so good, so gripping, tense but addictive, binge-worthy, although I took a big break until the last three episodes of the season.

Absolutely loved the song on the opening credits, it's so classic MTV, also I cannot believe this IS produced by MTV, they actually do good stuff still???

The cast is absolutely gorgeous, so many talented people all in one place, all at their best, but also the writing and the dialogues really give them a lot to work work with.

Mirren and Brosnan, what a mad couple, what mad individuals and even madder for staying together. Hardy is so expressive with minimal to none face movements, just staring at his opponents like he is five steps ahead. Mythical really. The ladies do a lot of suffering here as mob wives, well except for Mirren who loves it.

It's outrageous, it's gory, it's creatively sweary, pushing all sorts of moral boundaries for sure. Very British. I don't know if I wanna watch the second season though, whenever that will be. I am becoming tired of multi-season shows.

MobLand delivers everything I love about crime dramas-dark family secrets, ruthless rivalries, and a fixer who's more complex than he seems. Tom Hardy is incredible in this role. His quiet intensity carries the entire show, and his scenes are always magnetic. The London setting feels authentic, and the cinematography adds a cinematic flair you don't usually get in TV.

Not every subplot lands, but overall, the writing is strong and keeps you engaged. Guy Ritchie's influence is clear, and it works well here. If you're into crime sagas with a bit of style and soul, this is absolutely worth watching.

Final thought: Can't wait for Season 2.

The first word that comes to my mind after watching Mobland is...amazing! Mobland is about two mob families that are in a war with each other that threatens everyone lives and the empires they work for. In the middle is a fixer named Harry Da Souza (Tom Hardy) who tries to stop these two families from eliminating each other. The cast is just brilliant...Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan lead a terrific cast who are all at the top of their game here. Mobland is directed by Guy Ritchie so if you're a fan of his you'll love this and if you're not you'll still love it. This is easily one of the best shows of the year and I hope we get multiple seasons of it. It's a gritty drama with plenty of action and twists to keep you entertained throughout each episode. I really can't recommend this show enough.

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.

Where shall I start, it is very hard for me to start any series that isn't driven by mystery. However, in this series Tom is just a charismatic character that forces you to start this series.

The series stands out because of three main reasons in my opinion. Firstly, the clear direction of the series. To illustrate, you can expect how the final episodes look like once you finish two or three episodes. This is important because some serieses (aka The gentlemen) weren't able to do this. Secondly, every character is important and will contribute to the main story. Thirdly, even thought the series is somehow predictable but it was well presented to keep us interested.

Highly recommend.
