The first season transported us to a version of London that was ruled by a group of international gangs. When the head of one of the city's most influential families was assassinated, his youngest son, Finn Wallace (Joe Cole) jumped at the chance to arrest control over the growing power struggle. With horror maven Corin Hardy now lead director on the show it is perhaps no surprise that the levels of gore and violence are ramped up. Eyes are gouged, limbs are severed, it’s a show ideally watched with your own gang so you can share in the communal gasps and flinches. Really it’s a show that would benefit from the big screen. Like season one, Gangs of London season two is the closest you’ll get to cinema from a TV show. The whole thing looks stunning, the cityscapes are gothic and strange, while looking ultra modern at the same time, and the cinematography is gorgeous, with this season leaning into occasional slow mo for certain stand out ‘money shots’.

Marian reveals that not only did she double-cross Sean by stealing his drug shipment but that it is her duplicitous actions that have helped to put Billy in danger. She insists she was trying to protect them both from the alliance Sean had made with Koba but this doesn't wash with him.

That will certainly be a big question in season three. Who is working with who and who will come out on top? Elliot is not the only one who's out for revenge. Koba (Waleed Zuaiter) means to kill Saba (Jahz Armando) for helping Elliot in his foiled assassination attempt of him and Sean. His presence naturally invites challenge, even from behind bars, and there's no greater rivalry to finish season two on than the one between Sean and Elliot. There is a meeting of the gangs, all the major factions are seated around a table. Elliot walks in as his last conversation with Sean can be heard over the present goings-on.
