Winter Warmer Watchlist - Gangs of London - Season Three

The gruesome Gangs of London landed on Stan back in March, however I just sat down to all eight bloody episodes of the third season.

Across three seasons, the British action/thriller series has received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its performances, narrative, and action sequences, though some criticism was aimed at its excessive violence.

So what are we (the viewers) in for in season three?

Anyone can fall as chaos erupts in London after a spiked shipment of cocaine kills hundreds, fan-favourite characters collide with new faces bound by blood ties, sparking brutal power struggles, unexpected alliances, and fierce rivalries.  

Former undercover cop turned gangster Elliot navigates his new role as a top-level criminal alongside the Dumanis, but the spiking throws their operations into disarray. The Wallaces, Luan, Lale, and the street gangs face devastating consequences as personal vendettas collide with professional power struggles bleeding into violent turf wars.  

In the ruthless fight for control of London’s criminal underworld, no one is safe. This was no accident — it was a calculated attack. But who’s pulling the strings? 

The main players are back, Sean Wallace (Joe Cole), his mother, Marian Wallace (Michelle Fairley), and brother Billy(Brian Vernel), while hunky Elliot Finch (Sope Dirisu), also stars.

Newcomers to season three include Andrew Koji as Zeek Kimura, Richard Dormer as Cornelius Quinn , T'Nia Miller as Simone Thearle, who is actually also, the mayor of London who targets organised crime in the city by starting a war on drugs.

Across eight episodes the bodies pile up sky high. There is loads of violence, guns and guts. There is even one scene (which if you watch it, you know) that is the most wild kill scene, I've seen in a minute.

Stan have done well to keep this little UK nugget on their service as an exclusive.

There is no word on a fourth season, however the ending leaves you on a mega cliffhanger!

This week Murderbot and Poker Face conclude, along with me catching up on some other series I missed earlier this year! Have a good (NAIDOC) week ahead.
