The British version of Gangs of New York. It may lack the lavish production design and pompous sets of its US sibling, but it's still a well-paced crime drama with brilliant dialogue and cleverly written and well-developed characters for a much smaller budget. The stage is set for the next season.

I'm giving Season 1 five stars, but it’s only because I'm turning a blind eye to some major flaws. The creators seemed to have struggled a little with the passage of time (Ada's pregnancy), but the biggest problem for me was the lack of violence. I doubt that you could just talk your way out of a problem in 1919 England. I think that if someone decides to make a series about gangs, they can’t just avoid violence, and if they do, it ends up looking weird. Anyway, Cillian Murphy sure can stare daggers, I wouldn't want to get in a stare off with him.

I find it really hard to watch a period gangster series that lacks emotions. Upon watching the first series I enjoyed the historic locations of Birmingham, but it was hard to find anybody who would make the second series worth watching. Cillian Murphy is great, but you could not find a colder character in any series if you tried. After the first season, it is worthy of three stars and I will see if I ever push myself into watching the next episodes.
