Overall I liked it. A predictable genre for Guy Ritchie, which (from the first episode) doesn’t seem like it’s got anything different to bring, albeit enjoyable enough as it is.
My only complaint is Helen & Pierce’s Irish accents, both are awful and very distracting from the story. I watched an interview with Pierce in which he said Guy only told them to do an Irish accent fifteen minutes before the beginning of the shoot. While Pierce is Irish by decent, he explained in the interview how he he hasn’t had his Irish accent for 30+ years and had to try and reconnect with it quickly. Tom Hardy steels the show, he’s superb.
The BBC has dropped a Liverpool cartel drama recently called ‘ this city is ours’ which blows this storytelling out of the water.
Come on Guy Ritchie, we wait for anything if yours to drop, make it worth the wait!
