MobLand Season 2 Delivers Over-the-Top Gangster Comedy
22 Sep
Summary
- The new season embraces gloriously silly and cartoonish violence.
- Characters deliver filthy dialogue and employ unique methods for murder.
- New additions to the cast enhance the gangster-comedy theme park atmosphere.
The second season of MobLand amps up its criminal antics with a gloriously silly and over-the-top tone, reminiscent of Guy Ritchie's "The Gentlemen." The Harrigan crime family faces succession drama, with characters like Conrad, Kevin, and Maeve embroiled in a plot filled with cartoonish violence and explicit dialogue. Dodgy deals occur in unexpected places, and criminal acts are disinfected with whisky.
Newcomers like Toby Jones as a corrupt detective and Johnny Flynn as a sleazy gangster add to the ensemble. The series, though titled for a thriller, functions more as a gangster-comedy theme park, offering cheap thrills and a satisfyingly fun experience for viewers. The dialogue is outrageously filthy, featuring insults like "sausage tastes like an old tramp's cock."
