Is it for me?
Brooding gangster-film fans who like their antiheroes quiet will feel at home in the brown-and-grey industrial smoke. Cillian Murphy plays Tommy with a stillness that makes a loud room turn toward him, and Sam Neill's Campbell is a lawman who matches him. Early on Tommy fixes a horse race and angers a rival boss, and he sometimes rides into trouble on horseback like a Western.
Before you start
The first series is the slowest and moodiest, with one running contest between gang and police; later ones widen out.
6 seasons, 36 episodes, 61 min each, about 36 hours so far
