Official Gangs Of London Thread

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

With all the loose ends they've kept?

Spoiler

Elliot holding all the data on the investors, the Dumanis being in power now, Lale and Asir bound to continue their self destructive warpath, Floriana plotting her own vengeance with Finn's money and Billy vowing to kill Elliot if something happened to Sean.

The only reason I'd hate to see it is because this show completely fell apart after the fifth episode. First three awfully directed episodes by French hack Xavier Gens where they just rush through important plot points and then that final episode where people do all kinds of crazy dumb shyt with seemingly no consequences.

Spoiler

Sean and Lale blowing up a tower in the middle of the city of London without the city going into full lockdown and police being everywhere.


Lale and Sean killing the newly elected mayor of London. These two are full blown terrorists at this point and paired with Lale's background of supporting Kurd militants with drug money this really could spawn a British-Kurd conflict.

Shannon killing a cop in her own home too, particularly noteworthy because she got on her brother's case for merely keeping a gun on him for protection back in the first episode like 'Is this what you've become now?'

Nobody wearing gloves or masks or anything at any point either, DNA has to be on literally every scene if anyone bothered to do a proper investigation.

Hell, that government secret agency couldn't even find the tooth chip on Elliot and they had him in custody taking samples from his hair, skin, clothes, everything.

The world of fiction including the violence which was more Comical and entertainment.

I let the illogical shyt slide..

I’m on episode 7 so far this is pretty good. Some of the fight scenes tho

 

[MajesticLion]

Summary: Hollywood fantasy effects with no awareness of London realities.

Spoiler

Guns everywhere, no police presence until after the fact, no recognition of cameras all over the damn place, people talking openly on phones as though Met surveillance doesn't exist(there's an active case with UC people and handlers but nobody's listening in nor reading sms messages?!)...etc etc etc.

It's missing too many plot points to be anything viable. The fight scenes are entertaining, and that's it.

yeah that's what took the show down a couple of notches but it was entertaining.

Spoiler: spoiler

Seems like some people are expecting realism like this is a documentary or something. You just have to suspend belief sometimes. Every action movie/series is exaggerated for entertainment purposes. This is Gareth Evans we're talking about here. Raid 2's main character damn near lost all the blood in his body fighting off whole hordes of people for hours on end without taking a break to even sip some water when in reality he would have been dead or collapsed from exhaustion at best.

In real life, no one's shooting up the place like GTA V and blowing buildings up in any major city without an immediate heavy army/police presence immediately locking things down or catching the culprits. If that happened we wouldn't have a movie/series.

I just take it for what it's meant to be and enjoy the fukkery.

Jesus finally somebody else gets it.
Imagine questioning James fukking bond?

Lol

Exactly. It's meant to be over the top. A guy's head in real life doesn't get completely blown off by a sniper bullet like a Mortal Kombat fatality or something lol.

And here we are discussing about the less police on the streets and mobile devices not being tracked...lol

I get that but even in an exaggerated world there needs to be internal logic and rules applied to it. Some of the creative decisions in the second half just felt like they wanted to eat their cake and have it too. That's not how it works.

 

[LiveFromLondon]

So Wallace fam is billionaires but still want to be attached to petty drug dealing

 

[Brandeezy]

UK tv shows + no police presence goes hand and hand

Top Boy was like this as well
