"A ferocious, compact British gangster nightmare"
Adapted from a Martina Cole novel, this British miniseries follows Freddie Jackson, released from prison in the 1980s and determined to become London's top gangster, dragging his family into a spiral of violence and betrayal. It's a lean, brutal four-part crime saga that trades slow-burn plotting for raw intensity, carried by a genuinely frightening lead performance and a bleak, grimy sense of place. It moves fast, hits hard, and doesn't pretend gangster life is glamorous for long.
a career-making, terrifying lead performance from Tom Hardy as a rising criminal.
you want nuance or likeable characters rather than unrelenting brutality.
