Watched first episode of Gangs of London. (Sky atlantic). Reshown sunday night.
It wasnt bad. Good, in fact. In places, a little over dramatic but the gangsters are quite mean n believable, not cartoon ones like Lock stock type. Joe cole from peaky blinders plays a hotheaded criminal son who wants revenge for the killing of his crimelord father (so its a bit reminiscent of godfather, brando death and Sonny/caan's temper).
A black actor called Sope Dirisu plays the best part, and theres a brutal but well staged pub fight where he takes on about 8 Albanians with just a playing dart!! ??
There's also a fabulously tense edge-of-seat fight with a gypsy butcher armed with a cleaver.
Only 1 episode and such things are often shit, but so far ive been impressed.

Me neither.
The bit where you say he takes out 8 Albanias with a dart had me thinking of the comedy/ridiculous scene in Kingsmen Secret Service.
You're such a guvnor Bill 
You are wrong boys. It wasnt silly jason statham kung fu shit, there is already a fight in a pub and he works his way thru various combatants who are already fighting each other. Have you ever been stabbed with a fkn playing dart?
It isnt silly fkn kingsmen shit. All fights on film are staged but it was quite brutal stuff. Watch it and you will see.

It wasnt bad. Good, in fact. In places, a little over dramatic but the gangsters are quite mean n believable, not cartoon ones like Lock stock type. Joe cole from peaky blinders plays a hotheaded criminal son Sean who wants revenge for the killing of his crimelord father (so its a bit reminiscent of godfather, brando death and Sonny/caan's temper).
Episide 2 of Gangs of London, sean continues to be a hothead, the mother is like Talia Shire encouraging violence, and we now have a "Fredo" in the family in the shape of weak brother Billy.
Its still good though.
Very enjoyable massacre at a gypsy camp in this.
That'll teach 'em for dumping conifers!

Xeb i thought sister agatha was the best thing about the show. Less said about the usual BBC box-ticking history rewrite.
