OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
If you’re craving a new crime drama with action, intrigue, and a dash of dark humor, then you’re in luck. Tom Hardy’s latest show, MobLand, is hitting Paramount+ this weekend, and it brings a star-studded cast that includes Pierce Brosnan, Dame Helen Mirren, and Joanne Froggatt. Co-written by Tony-winning writer Jez Butterworth and directed by Guy Ritchie, this gritty gangster series is one you won’t want to miss.
Originally conceived as a spin-off of Ray Donovan, MobLand was set to follow the rise of a powerful underworld family. However, creator Ronan Bennett shifted gears, and now the series follows modern-day fixer Harry Da Souza (played by Tom Hardy) as he handles problems for the powerful Harrigan crime family in London.
The Plot: A Dangerous Game in the Criminal Underworld
MobLand revolves around the Harrigan family, led by patriarch Conrad Harrigan (Pierce Brosnan) and his fierce wife Maeve (Helen Mirren). Their son Kevin (Paddy Considine) is deeply entrenched in the family’s criminal empire, and when Kevin’s rebellious son Eddie (Anson Boon) lands in trouble at a nightclub, fixer Harry Da Souza is called in to clean up the mess. What initially seems like a straightforward job quickly escalates into something much more complicated and dangerous, setting the stage for a thrilling, high-stakes drama.
If you’re a fan of Tom Hardy’s intense on-screen presence, gritty crime dramas, or just watching Helen Mirren in her powerful Irish matriarch role, MobLand has all the ingredients for a captivating watch.
