Mobland is worth a watch but I didnt think it was very good.
It's like the writers watched Snatch, Peaky Blinders, Game of Thrones and tries to merge them altogether. Their influences are extremely obvious and the writing feels a bit schizophrenic at times. They don't know who they want these characters to be.
A lot of series have this thing where you can see the quality but all the pieces don't fit together, but in their 2nd and 3rd seasons they become brilliant. Feel like its one of those.
Frankly, I'd watch anything with Tom Hardy in. What a wonderful actor. And the casting is amazing too, some huge actors in there putting out excellent performances. The action set pieces are pretty good. I like the setting and the general plot seems decentish. Its just the obvious rip off parts and the constant changing directions of character arcs that got to me. All the pieces are there.
If you don't like the Breaking Bad whiny wife trope though, this isn't for you. Every woman in this is cast as a whiny dickhead who doesn't appreciate her life or a hugely manipulative strang wamen who puppets everyone around her. This is very much a show written by men with mummy or ex-wive issues. Thats most lf these gangster wideboy series though so if it doesn't register with you then it shouldnt be an issue.
