Guy Ritchie seems to be England’s answer to Taylor Sheridan. His dramas are more cerebral and focused on psychology than the American shows, though.
Mobland is about two crime families going to war. The key to the show is the Helen Mirren character.
Spoiler alert.
She plays the wife of Pierce Brosnan, the head of the Harrigan crime family. Tom Hardy plays their enforcer. I won’t get into the plot; what’s more interesting is the way it portrays how a malignant narcissist, the Helen Mirren character, plays all the people around her. Betrays them all. And in the end, brings her husband down with herself. Quite happily. She will do anything to stay relevant, even get her own child chainsawed to death.
Yes, it’s not pretty.
It’s something we should pay attention to because we currently have a man at the helm of our country who is exactly like her. He’s already proven he betrays everyone who works for hm. And he is going to destroy us as he goes down.
Tom Hardy, as Harry, recognizes what’s happening. His problem? He’s actually loyal. I think this is going to be an issue for our military in the next few years.
Guy Ritchie does a very good job showing each character being driven by their own pathos. The lack of awareness all around is also eye-opening.
I assume there will be more seasons and look forward to them.
