Gangs of London - fans of The Raid and Banshee in here

[Glanza]

S2 was a let down compared to the first but good news:

Gangs of London renewed for season 3 on Sky

The action thriller series is officially returning for another season of gang warfare. **WARNING: Contains season 2 spoilers**

Agreed, it didn’t really seem to go anywhere. Even the level of violence didn’t seem to be on par with season one.

When Elliot had the chat about

Spoiler

the chip he got from Sean with all the documents on

I thought hey up is this going to basically be the same as S1 but with Alexander instead of Sean then

Spoiler

he jumped over the railing splat

so I then thought maybe not.

Only got up to the bit where

Spoiler

Marian Wallace appears and all I`m thinking was isnt she dead did I miss something ?

so I havent really got an opinion on S2 yet.

 

[Cosimo]

Yes, S2 was disappointing. It just stumled along with periods of violence with very little storyline in between. I fear that we will just get more of the same in S3.

 

[Malevolence]

Managed just 3 episodes of S2.

 

[varkanoid]

Just finished watching it. Was ok enjoyed the token "Raid" scenes with a little twist but the whole S2 was just for the end scene round the table. To setup that final scene. Almost as if they did S2 and S3 back to back. Definitely a Matrix 2 season.

Managed just 3 episodes of S2.

I only managed 1! No desire to watch anymore. Seems crap.

S2 was a back stabbing criss crossing mess.

Sean is spineless and joins up with anyone

I’m 3 episodes into the first season of this and not quite sure on it. By all accounts, it looks like it should be epic and quite up my street but I’m not engrossed.

What’s the thoughts, worth proceeding with?

 

[Blackvault]

Craziest episode so far lol.

I've just finished it, and OMG, the brutality of it!

I couldn’t gel with Joe Cole’s posh accent.

KIN is good for drug/gangster stuff, and it’s based in Ireland which is a decent change from the norm.

Yep.

I tried it when it first came out and like you it seemed like a slow burner so I gave up after 2 episodes. I've gone back recently and I'm nearly at the end of season 1 and loving it

 

[Uncle Petey]

I enjoyed both seasons.
I wasn't expecting a believeable documentary on London gangs. I expected a fun ride that took a few liberties to provide entertainment and it delivered.

 

[Spuderoony]

Probably one that should have stayed as a single season... maybe with a one-off film instead? Second lacked something, to be honest.

Watching S3. They turned up the blood, realistic birthing scenes (including death by umbilical cord), fast travel, the ability to escape from inescapable scenes and the ability to know where people are at all times to 11. It's so stupid but we're slightly hooked.

 

[Kyo]

Sorry wrong thread

 

[kola]

i got bored after episode 2 of season 2 is it worth to push through ?

 

[Glanza]

Watched first episode of s3 and glad they've gone back to the s1 style of fights / violence, shows that actual stunt people are doing them again.

 

[doodah]

I forgot to mention the sheer amount of abandoned buildings they keep finding .
