Gangs of London season 2 review: Same, but different (Radio Times)

Is the second season of highly-acclaimed Sky Atlantic drama Gangs of London as good as its debut?

He might look the same, albeit with bigger hair and a more substantial beard, but this is not the Elliot as we once knew. While it remains to be seen if this chapter will match its debut, the early signs are extremely promising. But he does have an ace up his sleeve: he's still in possession of the microchip given to him by Sean, which contains incriminating evidence against his keepers, although deploying that effectively is easier said than done. Season 1 showrunner Gareth Evans and his successor Corin Hardy, who previously directed several episodes, have drummed up an extraordinary number of ways to utilise blood spatter, channelling their inner Jackson Pollock. There are bone-crunching, eye-popping (literally) brawls, all of which are expertly crafted, complex family dynamics, backroom deals, guns, guns and more guns, and an abundance of big personalities that could so easily veer into caricature, but the troupe collectively ground the various personalities in something tangible. Waleed Zuaiter's antagonist, who's unlike anyone we met in the previous chapter, is this season's jet fuel. In the first and only episode we were given access to, the answer appears to be both. They were the puppet masters pulling the strings, which Elliot, for all his efforts, was eventually snarled up in. The first is Elliot’s current predicament. Or deviate from the tried and tested approach in pursuit of going one better?

Gangs Of London – Season 2 Episode 1 Recap & Review (The Review Geek)

Episode 1 of Gangs of London Season 2 starts one year after the events that gripped London last time out. This high-octane, thrilling drama begins in the ...

It’s great to see the show return to the core essence of what made it so enthralling to begin with, complete with a big fight in the laundrette and another in Luan’s house. The first episode of Gangs of London Season 2 gets off to a fiery, pulsating start as it seems like war is about to break out once more. As the episode closes out, we pan across to Marian Wallace, who happens to be the one with all the guns. Something very bad is about to happen, so he puts his wife and kids in the saferoom and hurries over to where he’s stashed his guns. Sean gave it to Elliot and in exchange, he tells Alex to use it to blackmail the Investors and get them a way out of this mess. A red car smashes into the back of his, and as the driver gets out to investigate, he’s shot in the head. Outside, Koba is waiting in the car but the sparks of war ignite. Ed can sense war is on the horizon and shows up to see Luan Dushaj. Asif is using his dog to keep all the criminals in check, ruling with an iron fist and fear rather than in unison. He reminds them what happened to Finn Wallace – and the drama that ensued after. Elliot has been forced to work to protect his family, and in particular his father, who is being kept captive by Miss Kane and the others. The gang work quickly, making sure they’re not detected as they move the package to a secure location.

For season two of Gangs Of London AMC delivers the three Bs: Bullets, bones, and blood.

Koba’s vision for the criminal landscape is a dictatorship, a world in which old school gangster codes don’t exist and in which he holds a complete monopoly over London’s drug trade. The series returns this November on AMC+, but star Michelle Fairley has a special treat for anyone that likes watching a person have their throat slit by broken glass: A very red band trailer. We don’t want to ruin anything, but you do see a man’s cheek melt in real time.

Asif Raza will play Asif Afridi, the drug kingpin of the Pakistani drug cartel, and Narges Rashidi will portray Lale, who is hellbent on revenge against Asif. Despite his character, Sean Wallace, being shot at the end of Gangs of London’s first season, many fans were hoping to see Peaky Blinders actor Joe Cole make a shock return. After violent reckonings of season one, the map of London has been redrawn. Gangs of London is back on our TVs with more ultra-violence and family feuds today. Who else in the Gangs of London cast? Who is joining the Gangs of London cast?

Gangs of London season two review – why do millions of people ... (The Guardian)

Like Top Boy or Peaky Blinders turned up to 11, this ultraviolent television is literally eye-popping. What a pity it has banter so bad even Guy Ritchie ...

Some 16.6 million muppets like you, no offence, watched the first series of Gangs of London and made the commissioning of the second axiomatic. She is abroad, buying up a consignment of big guns so she and the remains of the Wallace gang can take out the importunate trash later in the series. This is not the London I recognise. This development is a heartening depiction of London’s diversity post-Brexit, no doubt, but just the thing to prompt the new home secretary to fire up the Rwanda-bound extradition flights. In one scene, some bloody unpleasantness unfolds outside the Horseshoe in Clerkenwell, a pub where I have spent many a bucolic summer’s evening. With Sean out of the way, London’s heroin business is fought over entirely by persons of colour, not just Londoners but exiled Kurdish freedom fighters and a Pakistani drug cartel. There are passages of inaction while, you’d think, minions hose down the scenery. Korba should be an absolutely chilling character, but unfortunately Zuaiter reminds me of Michael Bryant as nerdy existentialist philosopher Mathieu Delarue in the BBC’s recently repeated adaptation of Sartre’s Gangs of London doesn’t do that elegant dance very often. The camera zooms in just as it explodes. The body count of psychopathic gangsters rises faster than your energy bills. I’d like to thank all the creatives involved for making that scene pop.
