MobLand (2025)

MobLand centers around the Harrigan crime family in London who employ a fixer to help them with their…let’s just say “off-the-books” business deals. The show has a fantastic cast led by Pierce Brosnan, Tom Hardy, and Helen Mirren, and it’s loaded with all the action and gritty crime drama that fans of mob stories crave. If you love shows like Peaky Blinders or The Sopranos, but want something with the action cranked up a notch, you need to check out MobLand.

Although MobLand is a standalone series, it was initially developed as a Ray Donovan spinoff, and viewers can still feel the influence of the latter show. This time, though, Tom Hardy is the "fixer," and he dazzles in the role. Viewers won't want to miss his suave, intimidating performance, which beautifully compliments the rest of the stacked ensemble. These performances, combined with sharp writing and executive producer Guy Ritchie's brazen and humorous signature crime style, make MobLand an excellent, absorbing, and fast-paced series, even if it isn't the most original.

Tom Hardy. Pierce Brosnan. Helen Mirren. If those names haven’t already sent you running to your TV, what are you doing? Hardy shines as the fixer of a notable crime family with a turf war brewing. Star power aside, MobLand is a compelling crime drama oozing with mystery and morally grey characters you hate to love. The “posher” depiction of London’s organized crime circuit gives MobLand a unique edge only hampered by the sheer amount of characters to keep track of. Still, all the action, violence, and dark humor will even compel the dads standing in front of TVs to actually sit down.
