Season 1 Review:
If “MobLand” feels familiar—the head of an organized crime family fighting for power within a global crime syndicate—well, at least the prickly character, terrific actors and sharp writing make it an engrossing watch nonetheless. And no one is more magnetic than Hardy as Harry.

Season 1 Review:
We’re giving a tentative recommendation to MobLand because of the cast and the show’s potential to go deep into its characters’ psyches. But we also wonder if this is just a generic mob drama with a prestige drama skin on it, which would be a big disappointment if that was the case.

Season 1 Review:
Ritchie’s direction is … pretty good. Accomplished. Smooth. He flexes various muscles he has built up in previous work. .... Aside from that, and some indications that Maeve’s power comes from having learned to weaponise the dark perversities of the men in her life, there’s not much of the psychological depth that a premium mob saga runs on. But if you ever start thinking MobLand isn’t worth your time, Tom Hardy will be along shortly to convince you otherwise.

Season 1 Review:
While the Harrigans, led by patriarch Conrad (Pierce Brosnan) and matriarch Maeve (Helen Mirren) and the Stevensons, led by patriarch Richie (Geoff Bell), are all engaging to watch, this story centers around longtime Harrigan fixer Harry Da Souza (Tom Hardy). The show is bursting with talent and tension, but it remains to be seen whether “MobLand” can go the distance.

Season 1 Review:
Each instalment leaves you wanting more, and excited to come back for the next one. The problem as of now is that it doesn't do much to stand out from the crowd, leaving its buzzy, A-lister filled cast feeling like something of a stunt to get people to watch what is otherwise a serviceable gang drama.

Season 1 Review:
At least Brosnan tries to inject a sinister, unpredictable crackle into proceedings. Hardy doesn’t disgrace himself either, but he gives a laid-back performance – mooching around like he’s earning 50p running errands for his gran. If MobLand is going to improve, it had better do so fast – and they may have to include subtitles for Mirren.
