Sure, the script clunks portentously in places but nobody comes to Gangs of London for subtlety. Dialogue is often merely a place-holder, moving the plot along until the next operatic set piece arrives. ... Gangs of London is back with a bang. Not to mention a crunch and a squelch.

For all of season 1's brilliance, the ante needed to be upped to maintain crucial momentum, which is what we get in the season 2 opener. While it remains to be seen if this chapter will match its debut, the early signs are extremely promising.
-
The series’ pleasures are unchanged by the years: impeccably choreographed fight scenes, quick-twitch pacing, and clever, immersive direction that takes suspense as its watchword.

“Gangs of London” struggles to reconcile Sean’s contradictions, even though their presence doesn’t dampen Hardy’s various achievements.
