Gangs of London plot

Today's London, one of the world's most dynamic and multicultural cities, is torn apart by the turbulent power struggle between international gangs and the sudden power vacuum created when the head of the most powerful crime family is murdered. For 20 years, Finn Wallace was the most powerful criminal in London, with billions of pounds flowing through his organization every year. But now he's dead - and no one knows who did this. With rivals everywhere, it's up to the impulsive Sean Wallace, with the help of the Dumani family led by Ed Dumani, to take his father's place.

Gangs of London is a great and especially violent series from Sky. The plot is as simple as it is complex. After the liquidation of London's most influential gangster boss Finn Wallace, his crew led by son Sean tries to invent Whodunnit, but at the same time they must also keep their empire from falling as old friends may pick eggs for their money and rivals smell their chance to win. The first episode was a bit tricky to get into as it went from one fight to the next without it really becoming clear where it was going. It felt like I was on a roller coaster blindfolded. From episode 2 I was completely into it and after the last episode I was disappointed that I had to wait again. Recently watched the series for a second time and now episode 1 was also easier to follow because I knew where it was going. Gangs of London is a great series, but those who like a subtle and sophisticated crime drama will be disappointed. If you like ramming, pounding, shooting and an exciting story, then you will be served because Gangs of London is a kind of Rise of The Footsoldier meets John Woo. Heroic bloodshed, bullet ballets and explosions galore with a Cockney accent!

Gangs Of London has a five star start. This hard-hitting crime thriller opens in the pilot episode with a superbly choreographed fight in a bar. You notice that specialists are at work here. Gangs Of London is written by Gareth Evans (Raid, Apostle) and Matt Flanney. With beautiful camera work, the action scenes resemble carefully constructed blood ballets. For those who love it: Blood, heads and limbs splash and explode in all directions.

The hardness and international twist are reminiscent of Zero Zero Zero, but a series like Before We Die also has some similarities. In the second half the tempo drops and the freshness seems to have disappeared. Nevertheless, Gangs Of London is constantly exciting and threatening, there are beautiful plot twists to discover and the acting is of familiar British quality.
