MobLand

MobLand follows Harry Da Souza, a fixer employed by the Harrigan crime family. His work involves turning other people's impulses into problems he can actually solve. The family does not make that easy.

Tom Hardy is the strongest reason to watch. His relatively restrained performance gives Harry a credibility that some of the dialogue and character decisions around him struggle to maintain. Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren play Conrad and Maeve Harrigan, with Paddy Considine as Kevin. Joanne Froggatt, as Harry's wife Jan, brings a different set of demands into his life.

I enjoyed the first season, but the recommendation is qualified. The accents can distract, the writing is uneven, and some decisions seem designed to create trouble rather than follow naturally from the characters. Hardy does enough to keep it watchable despite that.

Try it if you enjoy British gangster drama and have already seen the stronger options. The Sopranos, Gomorrah and Peaky Blinders would all come first.
