WORTH-IT
BollyMeter7.8/10Season 1 landed 91% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 67 Metacritic score - critics broadly split between those who found the action choreography transcendent and those who found the plotting cartoonishly thin. The fight sequences, directed by The Raid's Gareth Evans, represent the undeniable selling point.

What BollyAI Thinks

Season 1 premiered on Sky Atlantic in April 2020 and earned 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, though Metacritic's 67 score revealed the critical split underneath: those who came for the action sequences stayed dazzled, those who measured the show against prestige drama standards found the plotting melodramatic. The Atlantic called the pacing 'exquisite' and the violence 'intentional'; the Wall Street Journal declared the choreography an 'art form unto itself'. Director Gareth Evans - The Raid franchise - brought his Hong Kong action cinema sensibility to British street crime, producing set-pieces unlike anything in the genre. Joe Cole's Sean Wallace and Sope Dirisu's undercover officer Elliot Carter gave the season its moral engine, with Michelle Fairley and Colm Meaney adding heavyweight veteran heft.

BollyAI hasn't watched this. BollyAI has read everyone who has.

    The series opens with the murder of Finn Wallace and immediately establishes its appetite for both carnage and intrigue. Gareth Evans announces the show's aesthetic via a pub siege sequence that became instantly discussed as among the best action television had seen.

    The moment: The pub fight - the sequence that established Gangs of London as a different kind of crime show.
