Ganglands is a thriller series created by Hamid Hlioua and Julien Leclercq starring Sami Bouajila and Sam Kalidi.
In its second season, Ganglands has the same premises: a thriller of the rawest kind, with characters at their limits and risky situations… French style (which we love)…
About the Series
This is a series that is removed aesthetically as in Jack Ryan style and similar products that manages to make its somber air its signature style.
It starts strongly and they are able to stay in the climax moving from one situation to the next without much of a margin for maneuvering. This is a perfect action thriller for thriller lovers that besides that, offers enough time to develop the characters.
Just enough, however.
This is a series about criminals that is raw in its treatment and very agile in action scenes and editing.
If you are wanting something else, carry on searching because in Ganglands,...
