Picked up Paramount Plus to watch Champions League games or something. This will give me another reason to continue it.

The agency was awesome, and ran parallel to Lioness. For the people who have a problem with Sheridan, The Agency is probably what they are looking for.

Would be cool if it Hardy was doing his Handsome Bob character that grew up passed being just the driver for the Wild Bunch.

Very good 1st episode. Brosnan is believable as the patriarch of a mob family, Hardy is excellent in his role as an enforcer/fixer and Mirren provided some laughs as a hard core gangsta grandma.

I think I detected a bit of a Bricktop impersonation in the first episode. But this thing looks to have potential.

Brosnan likes piggies.

Does anyone else have issues with P+ streaming. I've cancelled and re-upped a couple of times with no luck.  It freezes and skips. 

I hate it

P streaming is an issue for many men as they age. But talk to your doctor and they should medication to help you out.

It is quite literally the worst streaming app out there. However, I’m holding onto it for several reasons, including this show, which is queued in my list.

It's Taylor Sheridan: London, but I enjoyed it.  It appears to be less over the top than Gangs of London which I enjoyed.  Gangs of London made London seem like Caracas with nicer cloths and cars.

I liked the pilot but

Pierce Brosnan shooting his life long best friend in the heart in front of his entire family because his wife had a hunch was some Sheridan-esque plot leap bullshit/dramatics.

The show was originally developed as Ray Donovan: London. Thank goodness that didn’t happen. 
 

You can for sure draw parallels between Tom Hardy’s character and Ray Donovan. I’m sure Moody’s was a holdover. Ray and his dumb ass boring brothers would meet in a boxing gym in the original show.

Have you never watched a Guy Ritchie movie before? The boxing ring stuff is nothing new for him.

I just saw that it won’t let me download shows unless I also subscribe to Showtime. Fuck them.

Gangs of London House Shoot Out

This was one of my favorite, wtf scenes.

Obviously Spencer would have repelled those attackers in 15-20 seconds factoring in the multiple automatic weapons versus the revolvers and shotguns in the 1923 scene.

Show sucks and I have commented not one iota on 1923. Why are we fucking up this thread with shitshow talk?

It's funny how for a long time now, shows and movies aren't allowed to have passive or overly emotional mob wives. It's always, "the twist is the wife is actually the smart/savvy/ruthless one!" So much so that it's actually become cliche.

All of the wives are either in on the shit or at least knowledgeable vs “Kay, do t ask me about my business!”

Is Maeve sort of a bitch? I think it’s worth a discussion.

- Hates her husband’s illegitimate  child.

- Not only forgives Eddie, she celebrates his senseless murder of another kid.

- Wants to murder wives now.

- Planted the Archie rumors without much, possibly any, evidence. 

- Provides piss poor advice to Conrad.

yeah, she's a queen bitch, quite the difference from 1923 lol

this show is really fast-paced, i like it.

do we know if Bella and Harry have actually had an affair in the past, or does she just want to and so keeps making passes?

The shotgun story pretty much removed any doubt.

I keep waiting for Tom Hardy to roll his eyes and say "for fuck sake" each time a new problem arises that he needs to clean up. Exhausting.

 

and the irony is the half sister, Seraphina, is the most put together of the Harringons - although Paddy seems like a generally level headed guy.

 

i thought the actor who plays Richie did a good acting job with his response to his son's death.

Hot take..... Maeve is the "grass" and is working some sort of revenge angle on Brosnan and the family.  Someone tipped them to where that dude's body was buried.  Also, I'm not sure the grandkid did the murder unless I nodded off in the first episode.  He hasn't admitted it fully yet, right?

It was the same thing in Ted Lasso. This show is Ted Lasso Mob style.

My gf said Maeve is probably the grass. Probably is....... cunt.  Eddie hasn't admitted a damn thing yet. The club owner claims Eddie paid him 10k to kill him.

At some point i expect Richie to go ape shit like his character did in Green Street Hooligans

that whole thing was not handled well. they kept introducing new people every 3 minutes in the pilot and then in ep2 reference some disappearance-assumed-murder. the wife and i were like "were we drunk? did we miss a murder?" but not so worried that we actually went back to investigate.

this show is not quite guy ritchie enough for me yet, but i'll keep going. if they wanted me to care about the feud between the 2 families, they should've opened with that, not two random crime orgs that were about to get wiped out just to show that hardy's bunch were ruthless and now there's a vacuum in the fentanyl trade.

It's entertaining enough, I guess, but the fact that it's hard to tell whether it's supposed to be perfectly obvious that Maeve is the grass, or if they're trying to set it up to be a big twist, or if they're trying to set us up for a big fakeout that she isn't the grass just amounts to annoyingly ambiguous writing. 

The fact that it requires subtitles is a problem for us. Mrs. Doom invariably falls asleep much more quickly than otherwise when subtitles are involved. We seem to be averaging just 15 minutes of watching this show on a quick night, and 35 on the long side. 

I'll keep watching because Tom Hardy could make reading the phone book entertaining, but I feel like this show could end up being anything between a solid A and a low F when it's all done.

I don't turn the subtitles on, because it distracts me.  It has crossed my mind that the subtitles might be more confusing than just listening if they spelled things the way the speak.

Just finished Ep2.  Very intense.  Like others, keep waiting for Harry to go off on someone.  Motherfucker is gonna pay for threatening Harry's family though.  That was written in stone when shithead thought he was putting the weight on his head, while Harry is unarmed in a den of fucking thugs.

Harry's wife drives me crazy. He moves them to the boat for safety and when he returns gets peppered with questions, "Where were you? Who were you with? Where did you sleep? What did you do?" Then when he tells her, she scolds him "I told you never to tell me what you do." WTF woman? You can't have it both ways.

that was a very breezy 48 minutes. It always ends with me wishing for more, so I guess that is a good thing.

  • The tension was palpable in the scene with Conrad and Harry's wife.
  • i love after Harry discussed his last 48 hours with the wife, he added " oh yeah i got the housekeeper's mom into the retirement home."
  • the young Kevin in the prison flashbacks looks nothing like old Kevin. Very distracting (for me)
