Featured reviews
Tom Hardy never disappoints
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.
Absolute cinema
As always guy ritchie is up to his game and the stacked actors list does absolutely amazing. Tom Hardy just fails to dissapoint, guy is an absolute legend of acting, just like pierce, and when you add that to complete chaos of a guy ritchie scenario, you get a slow burning, absolute masterpiece where every second of every episode is worth watching.
Strong characters, emotional gangster drama
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.

The hits outweigh the misses
Drawn to the show via some Facebook or YouTube reel, any gangster show with Tom Hardy is going to be worthwhile.
The accents from Brosnan and Mirren are grating and wildly inconsistent. I'd be happy to see far less of them in Season 2.
A stellar cast aside from that, and a familiar story but from a different POV. Not as good as Kin, but they're not trying to be the same show either.
Expecting something radically different now that ground has been laid, a la Love/Hate, where everything flipped after the debut season. More Jan, more Zosia, more Paul please.

Mobland Delivers & Then Some!
MobLand is a proper gem, easily one of the best British gangster shows in years. Helen Mirren is ice-cold as Bella Harrigan, Pierce Brosnan oozes charm & danger, and Tom Hardy brings real grit to Harry Da Souza. Paddy Considine's tortured Kevin is spot on.
The supporting cast aren't just there to pad the story line, they all add to the dynamics of the plot & each has played an important part by the end of the series.
The story moves fast, the dialogue hits hard, and there's no filler. It's not just about gangsters, it's about family, power, & what people do when the pressure's on. Every scene feels tense, but it never goes over the top.
It looks great too. Stylish without being flashy, with a soundtrack that keeps things simmering underneath & the best use of "The Beast in Me" by Johnny Cash in a series ever. You believe in this world, and you want to stay in it.
Absolutely brilliant.

Did you know
- TriviaThe series was originally intended to be a prequel to Ray Donovan. In February 2024, Paramount+ released the premise of the series, which was to be titled the Donovans, stating, "With the most powerful clients in Europe, The Donovans will see family fortunes and reputations at risk. Odd alliances unfold, and betrayal around every corner; and while the family might be London's most elite fixers today, the nature of their business means there is no guarantee what's in store tomorrow." The story was believed to be centered around Ray Donovan's character, which would explore the rise and formation of his criminal enterprise. Guy Ritchie was named as the director and executive producer. In October 2024, Paramount+ announced that the spinoff idea was called off and the show was rewritten to become its own standalone series with no narrative connection to Ray Donovan. Guy Ritchie remained on the creative team.
