Guy Ritchie’s new crime drama seriesMobLandfeatures a talented cast headlined by some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, which should elevate theexplosive underworld action that Ritchie is famous for.MobLandbegan as a loose spinoff of the Showtime classic crime showRay Donovan, with the intention of telling the backstory behind the family at the show’s center. However, as the show was developed, it evolved into a standalone series, keeping the crime family elements but jettisoning the connection to the Showtime series; it moved from Showtime to Paramount+ in that time period as well.
The series focuses on the Harrigan crime family of modern-day London, specifically around their rivalry with another family, the Stevensons, in the drug trade. They rely on their “fixer”, Harry Da Souza, for protection, investigation, enforcement, and anything else they could need to protect themselves and expand their empire. Featuring Pierce Brosnan as the patriarch Conrad Harrigan, Helen Mirren as the crafty matriarch Maeve Harrigan, and Tom Hardy as Harry Da Souza,MobLandhas already debuted to positive Rotten Tomatoes scores.
