bumping because the show makes its debut on regular AMC in the U.S., in case you haven't been able to see it yet.

Finally

I'm happy that AMC didn't censor the cursing and violence

I'm curious as to what that whole thing with Elliot being protected under diplomatic immunity by the republic of Panama thing is all about and why they couldn't touch him after that.

Watched the pilot. I find it kind of hard to suspend my disbelief that modern-day London is as violent as that.

Just finished the season. Just off pure entertainment this was a clean 9/10 for me. Pleasant surprise. Can’t wait to see what they got coming next. I don’t know if allot of people have amc plus but this was a show that should have been on bigger streaming service. Netflix or hbo Max etc...

After watching the 2nd episode, I think I "get" the show now.
I was looking at it as a "gangster" show, but I think the correct way to look at it is like a "martial arts fighting" show. So far it looks like it might be more like "Warrior" than "McMafia".

The pilot was on Amazon Prime, is AMC+ the only place you can watch the rest of the series?

Its airing week to week on "regular" AMC TV now. The first two episodes have aired, and they're also on On Demand.

it is a gangster show

What I mean is, I looked at the first episode like a "gang politics" show, and I wasn't in love with it because I couldn't suspend my disbelief that 2020's London is really like that, plus its hard to keep all the characters/factions/gangs straight.

I enjoyed the 2nd episode more because I realized we're really supposed to be following ONE particular character's fighting skills rather than the whole gang vs gang stuff.
At least, that's my impression after 2 episodes.

I stopped watching this because I thought the undercover was doing a bit too much.

I was like

Should I continue watching this?

 

[Hood Critic]

This wasn't even on my radar but thanks to y'all, watched this whole season and I feel like I should owe y'all some money and duck your calls

Gangs of London gets a lot of hype but the best British show is Line of Duty
