MobLand review: The Harrigans are shooting wildly again in the realistic and cynical second season of Guy Ritchie's crime series

The second season of Guy Ritchie's crime series MobLand has arrived on SkyShowtime, offering a significantly grittier and more cynical tone than his other works like The Gentlemen. The story follows the Irish crime family the Harrigans, led by Conrad and Maeve, who remain in control of North London despite previous legal troubles. Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren return as the ruthless couple, with Tom Hardy starring as their loyal fixer, Harry Da Souza. The new season kicks off with the couple already free after being framed by a corrupt detective, leading to fresh conflicts with rival gangsters and internal pressure within their organization.

While Harry faces ultimatums from his wife and a new contact, Kat McAllister, the Harrigans find themselves dealing with dangerous new threats like Frankie Cooper. Despite these challenges, the show maintains a tense atmosphere, underscored by the family's brutal methods and absolute belief in their own untouchable status. With a strong ensemble cast and Ritchie's signature style, the show continues to carve out its own space within the competitive landscape of modern television crime dramas.
