The first series of Gangs of London was a tight, gripping thriller. The second series was a convoluted mess full of disjointed scenes, a messy storyline, lots of gangsters giving each other hard stares, monosyllabic dialogue, and a lot of very weird characters who contributed nothing to the plot. Even the violence is tedious.
And then there is the jarring sound track and impenetrable accents that make this as annoying to listen to as it is to watch.
It's trying to be Peaky Blinders, but has none of the period charm, intriguing storylines, interesting characters, or style of that excellent show.
Did they change writers? Or did the writers just decide to phone it in? Either way, this was a poor show with few redeeming features.
