"Mobland" is a larger than life but nonetheless watchable, Brit crime drama.
This series feels somewhat like a satire, of your British organised crime, figures.Its loud tones, predictable stereotypes and at times implausible plot twists, do tend to rob it, of certain, credibility.
Tom Hardy is as brilliant as ever, in the role of the chief family enforcer, fixer, whilst Pierce Brosnan hands in a competent performance, as the family's patriarch. Helen Mirren, who, to be honest, has never much impressed me, fits in well in the role of Brosnan's cunning, criminally deranged, wife.
Thus far, there's nothing new on offer here but what is presented, is, for the most part, inherently watchable. Its well paced, with solid narrative, plus creative plots and sub plots.
In summary, I like "Mobland". Alright, its not new, yes its overstated but there's still a lot here that's intriguing and engaging enough, to merit a look. Two mob families clash in a war that threatens to topple empires and lives.
Directed by Anthony Byrne
