MobLand Premieres: Gritty London Crime Drama Divides Critics

The Guy Ritchie and Ronan Bennett series debuts on Paramount+, featuring a star-studded cast and a violent turf war between rival crime families.

MobLand, co-created by Guy Ritchie and Ronan Bennett, premiered on Paramount+ on March 30, 2025, blending gritty crime drama with Shakespearean themes of loyalty and betrayal.
The series stars Tom Hardy as Harry Da Souza, a brutal enforcer for the Harrigan crime family, with standout performances also from Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren.
Critics are split on the show, with praise for its performances and tone but criticism of its lack of originality and narrative coherence.
The plot centers on a violent feud between the Harrigan and Stevenson crime families, driven by the mysterious disappearance of a rival gang leader's son.
Originally conceived as a Ray Donovan spin-off, the show was reworked into an independent London-set drama, showcasing influences from both creators' past works.
