QUENTIN
Gangs of London is a good show, but it may frustrate some viewers. The titular gangs are many and the storytelling is incredibly dense, so it requires your full attention to keep up with the narrative. Thankfully, that isn't really an issue because it's mostly riveting stuff, with nearly every episode having an extremely well-done and violent action sequence. If you've seen The Raid, you know what creator/writer/director Gareth Evans brings to the table in terms of sheer brutality. Overall, with its warring mob family plotlines, Gangs of London is like a modern-day Peaky Blinders meets Game of Thrones.
