    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.

    Starts with a bang and doesn't let go. If you liked the first series youll love this one. Why cant there be more British TV shows like this.

    This is everything the first season was and more.
    High drama, wince-inducing violence and expertly directed action.
    Not your standard British
