Mob Land

Mob Land - new series starting on Paramount this Sunday - starring Tom Hardy, Pierce Bronson & Helen Mirren. As a fan of the genre I'm hoping for an entertaining series

Helen Mirren is one of my all time favorites. She is like a chameleon in every role she plays.....she becomes the character

She has been fantastic in 1923

When Guy Ritchie make gangster stories mostly they are good...i think.
Snatch, The Gentlemen,Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

I haven't seen anything remotely good from him after Lock Stock and Snatch. He is living off the glory of those two.

Funny you should mention that. I was watching last night (on DVR) and mentioned to my wife that her and I would get along fabulously! Agreed. Great actress and I love her role in 1923.

I also thought Sherlock Holmes I & II and King Arthur were excellent and well worth watching. Okay, they're not gangster films. I like his films.

we watched the first two episodes which have dropped so far and we are hooked. This is really a guy's show as it is a no holds barred between two mob families in the UK which hate one another and vie for control of distribution of Fentanyl and cocaine in London

Helen Mirren is indeed another chameleon in this role as she plays Maeve who is Conrad Harrigan's (Pierce Brosnan) wife and she seems to be the mastermind. Tom Hardy plays Harry Da Soza who is Conrad's number one man and is the liaison between the two families when Tommy the son of Richie Stevenson (who is the leader of the other family) happens to go to a bar with Eddied Harrigan and never comes home. Conrad charges Harry to find the son and clear Eddie Harrigan of any wrong doing.

If you're a guy and likes mob movies where death comes easy, this shows is for you. Episode three drops tomorrow. and I am looking forward to it

Highly recommended, but not for the meek at heart, as determined by the opening scene of episode 1

Agree, it's been good ; and, I like how the characters have been developed and fit nicely in and off each other

Agree....excellent series so far.

Episode 3 is in the bag and all I can say is that if you're not watching this series you need to

Ive never seen Helen Mirren in a role such as this as she is the de facto leader of the Kerrigan family

Tom Hardy shines in his role as he is the Ray Donovan of the Kerrigan family as he is forever "the fixer"

Tommy Stevenson should never have gone with Eddie Kerrigan.

This show is on adrenaline in every scene. Definitely a must watch

We are waiting for more episodes to drop before we start watching. Mirren and Hardy are two of my favorite actors.

In the meantime we have been watching Bosch Legacy, Handmaids Tale, Ludwig, long Bright River and best of all The Pitt..

OOPs had one wrong title

 

[Alrainbow]

There are actors and actresses who are just way above most all.
they are the ones who become the needed characters.
she is able to morph as is the pierce Bronson.
they make the show not in themselves but who the part is written for.
this allows the director to make what they want.
to me it’s the Al Pacino compared to Robert dinero
both amazing but Al P is the one to me who does all and becomes all.
just my thoughts

I understand that method as I too prefer it but we stumbled upon this show and we are riveted

This has to be the best series I've seen in a very long time! Every episode is more explosive than the last and always ends with a huge cliffhanger that makes you long for the next episode!

 

[bonzo75]

I keep watching it but I think the script and dialogues are poor. In contrast to his earlier movies, there is no humour. The actors are good and the end of an episode makes us want to watch the next one, that is all. Otherwise, the plot has been poor so far, hope there is a twist in the end

Can't speak for anyone else but never expected there'd be humor in this, and frankly glad there's not. Disagree about the script but to each his own.

Why, you haven’t seen mob movies with good wit and sarcasm, including by Guy Ritchie? It’s hot like he did not attempt here

To each his own ..... I think this is one of the best series Ive seen in a while. I love Helen Mirren and to see her in this role once again to me proves she is a chameleon and becomes the character. Even Piers Brosnan is excellent in the role.

It's as good and intense as TV gets these days. Reminds me of the great show "Gunsmoke" from years ago in that all you can be sure of is that somebody is going to die every week! The cast is terrific but its hard to see a twist coming, if there is any. We kind of already know who is going to die or should die, the question is, how will they die? Great TV! Terrific cast. Guy Ritchie's been busy lately with a new show coming to Apple TV later this month (Fountain of Youth)

I feared the worst when I heard he was involved in this show but fortunately we have been spared from all the London gangster clichés he usually fills all his movies or series with. The humour you are talking about here might fit in his other movies or series with an actor like Jason Statham for example but here it just wouldn't work in contrast to the dark, gritty atmosphere that fits this drama perfectly.
