The TelegraphAnita Singh Feb 18, 2026
Season 1 Review: Of course this show isn’t as good as The Sopranos, so let’s dispense with that comparison. But it’s cracking. I binged all eight episodes in two days, and I’m not a big fan of dramas about drugs and guns. Read full review

Season 1 Review: This City is Ours features a few wrinkles in its setting and approach that set it apart from the many, many similarly sprawling family crime dramas.
