A brutal but engaging modern Mafia tale
Hailed as one of the best shows of the year, Gangs of London is a big and brutal account of a gang war that takes place in modern-day London.
It’s big both in terms of scale and budget, but also risk. Each episode runs a long 90 minutes, and the violence is truly exceptional. The first scene will tell you everything you need to know.
When the head of a criminal organisation, Finn Wallace is assassinated, the sudden power vacuum his death creates threatens the fragile peace between the intricate web of gangs operating on the streets of the city. Now it’s up to the grieving, volatile and impulsive Sean Wallace to restore control and find those responsible for killing his father.
"Finch is a terrific audience surrogate, radiating the disgruntled lumpenprole badassery of Charles Bronson."
— Matt Zoller Seitz
"A bold continuation of the mafia movie tradition, yet like the inexperienced figures at its center, the show carves its own enthralling path."
— Robert Daniels
