Greatoneshere Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Anyone else watching Gareth Evans' new TV miniseries Gangs of London? The writer/director of Merantau, The Raid: Redemption, The Raid 2, and Apostle is the co-creator and executive producer of this 9-episode miniseries about gangs in London. Evans also co-wrote and directed episodes 1 and 5. You can see a lot of The Raid and The Raid 2 in this film (particularly The Raid 2) and anyone who has been wanting more Raid-style fight scenes will definitely get their fill with this show. Episode 1 alone had two fantastic fight sequences (I'm on episode 4 currently). All episodes are already out and have aired in the UK. I highly recommend people check this show out.

SoberChef Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I had heard that the UK already got this show, I'm just kicking back here Stateside twiddling my thumbs until Cinemax starts airing the episodes. Has been on my radar for like a year now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Gangs of London viewers outside UK call for subtitles as they can't understand British accents Quote British show Gangs of London has been cooking up quite a storm since its debut – but nobody outside of the UK can understand what anyone is saying. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I watched the first episode... I didn't have a problem understanding them without subs. I have an ear for dialects though so... I've heard thinker British accents though and this didn't seem egregious to me at all. That said, I'm all in on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I don't think the accents in this are that bad or anything. Also, I just finished the season. Incredible, really enjoyed it. Perhaps someone should change the thread title though because the show ends so open-ended there really will have to be a season 2 at some point, even though there's been no announcement of one yet. Either way, doesn't look like it'll be a miniseries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
