Gangs of London: Episode #2.8 (2022)
Season 2, Episode 8
Convoluted, Super Elliot, Not 1 Likeable Character
23 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
After 1st season that was at least somewhat promising, this whole second one was a disaster.

The story meanders uninterestingly throughout the season with our characters continusly fighting and betraying, not by any seemingly authentic or well written reason but by some forced plot points that the writers thought might add drama. There is talk about "investors" but we never meet them and they might as well not exist.

Not one single character in the show is the tinniest but likeable, Koba has some quality villain charm but it is all mellowed in the mediocrity of it all.

The anti-hero Elliot, the supersoldier, is one of the worst. Easily time and time, and then time again beating groups of professional ex-soldier mercenaries, shooting bullseyes anytime and just being super. While also being super annoying and unlikeable.

The story basically is founded on one betrayal after another, there is no tact or logic, everone just betrays everyone and then there the convenient rationalization that is as flimsy as it gets. Its like everyone is first time in this business.

Horrible, boring, convoluted mess of a season, not one characters shows any common sense or seeks to avoid police attention, everyone keeps attacking one another in the public in middle of London. This is one of the worst writen shows/seasons in existance and deserves to be canceled on the spot.
