Guy Ritchie directs the first two episodes of the series co-starring Helen Mirren, in which two rival factions escalate violence to take control of London's criminal underbelly.

The gangster drama delves into the Harrigan crime family's efforts to broaden, or at least maintain, their turf.

It would have been easy to dismiss new London-set crime saga MobLand as a Guy Ritchie knock-off, were Guy Ritchie himself not heavily involved in making the show. The 10-part Paramount+ series is a collaboration between the mockney master (who serves as a producer and directs the first two episodes) and Top Boy creator Ronan Bennett.
