After London's most powerful crime boss is assassinated, his impulsive son Sean takes over the family and shuts down its operations until he learns who ordered the hit, while rival gangs circle the city.
Starring Michelle Fairley, Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, Brian Vernel
Crime fans who care more about stunt choreography than dialogue will have a good time. Ordinary objects become weapons here. The opening pub brawl spills into a chase over walls and across a council estate before ending in a cleaver fight. Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù moves through those scenes like he was built for them, while Michelle Fairley gives Sean's mother a controlled, brooding calm.
The first episode runs long and sets the violence level early; season two, under a new showrunner, spends more time on character between action scenes.
