Television Gangs of London - Gareth Evans' (The Raid, The Raid 2) New TV Miniseries

[Greatoneshere]

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.

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!

Thank you sir for bringing this to my attention. As soon as I read Gareth Evans, I'm in.

There are other means also by which to get it . . . right now (as I live in the US as well).

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.

I watch everything subtitled, so I can't say if Gangs had any thicker accents than other UK movies and TV, but I would recommend subtitles either way.

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.

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.
