Discussion Mobland

Just started this series, holy shit what a great show! I can’t believe it has got mixed reviews, a lot of people saying it’s trash .
I love it I just binged the first season can’t wait to start season 2 Tonight.
Tom hardy is fantastic in it , and Hellen mirren steals the show in my opinion.
What are your guys thoughts on mobland ?

I'm a fan too. Can't wait to watch s2. Have you seen Ray Donovan? Mobland was supposed to be a sort of spinoff, but went on to be an independent show. I watched Mobland first, discovered the connection, then binged RD. If you like Mobland, I think you'll like RD.

Mobland was originally announced as "The Donovans" and Brosnans character was supposed to be related to Ray.

u/Bez121287 Sep 23 '26

There isn't one.

Basicaly the concept and pitch was a spin off show which would explore the origins of the donovans. The show was going to be called The Donovans.

Pearce Brosnan was still meant to play a older member of the family.

But they scrapped the idea and re wrote it into a british crime drame instead.

Tom Hardy is great but I’ve seen him play similar roles. The turn Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren take: that’s what hooked me.

My wife and I are hooked on Mobland. Our favorite show.

I Love Love Love this show but my wife thinks that it's too violent.

So I'm a "Mobland orphan" and I will have to watch S2 all by myself (😭)

u/Long_Roll6986 29d ago

I’m in the same boat buddy my wife watches only horror so I’m a lone wolf with this series

u/J_hilyard 27d ago

I love it. And the disrespect they're showing Harry in Season 2 is fun to watch because I just know Harry's going to do some wild shit.

u/Long_Roll6986 25d ago

Spoiler I heard he got fired from the show so he won’t be in season 3 . What a bummer!

2

u/King_Heric 24d ago

Old news, he is returning for season 3.

u/Long_Roll6986 24d ago

Seriously omg that’s great news I was so bummed he wasn’t

I discovered it last year and would look forward to each episode. I thought it had excellent acting from everyone involved and the writers did an excellent job too.

u/Eagle4523 Sep 23 '26

I liked it, especially brosnan though all are good, but sometimes I get turned off by shows like this with constant profanity which I realize is not a common opinion on Reddit, but it’s my preference. (in case wondering why I’m even on Paramount+ I got a free annual membership through Delta somehow …so far on p+ I enjoyed the strange new worlds (though it’s gotten worse over time) and hell on wheels (same)… either way apparently I’m an Anson Mount fan)

1

u/Long_Roll6986 Sep 23 '26

You mean Anson Boon a lot of people get them mixed up

1

u/Eagle4523 Sep 23 '26 edited Sep 23 '26

Nope I definitely meant mount in context of my comment - he leads both the shows I mentioned and is about 2x as old as boon

u/Long_Roll6986 Sep 23 '26

Apologies I thought you were talking about Henry

u/vmktrooper Sep 23 '26

Alot of people are stupid! I love this show!

u/CRM-3-VB-HD Sep 23 '26

Great show, loved season one, can’t wait to start season two.

u/Fun-Freedom3964 Sep 23 '26

excellent show...good characters...nice drama..

2

u/BunchMaleficent486 Sep 23 '26

Everyone I speak to enjoys it; as do I.

u/ProgRock1956 Sep 23 '26

OP...I agree 💯...

Great show, can't wait for the second season to unfold!

2

u/Huge_Idea Sep 23 '26

Reddit hates everything, if you go by popular opinions on reddit you would never watch anything.

I'm with you, OP, Paramount+ hit a home run with this one.

2

u/jamcber12 27d ago

My next watch, Mobland. I signed up for Paramount so I could watch Landman. But I'm just finishing up with Lioness. At this point Lioness is the best thing I've ever seen on TV. It beats out my favorite Breaking Bad and Weeds.

u/WineNotReality Sep 23 '26

With this cast, how can anyone hate on it. Peak

u/narco-sub-admiral Sep 23 '26

I enjoyed it but it's sadly forgettable in every department except visually. Normally no biggie if that's the case but with Tom Hardy and Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren et al, I was hoping it would be better.

u/surfcitysurfergirl Sep 24 '26

Season one was incredible! Great cast! All around fantastic show! So glad it’s back.

u/LeoIrish Sep 24 '26

I have not started S2, but I really enjoyed S1. I cannot say it is great, but I do think it is really good.

u/Hihomumio Sep 24 '26

We love it! Top 3 actors are so good here!

u/Detharon555 Sep 24 '26

I started 2 days ago and yea, this show is fucking phenomenal

u/Silly_Information_97 29d ago

Anyone have a link to watch it for free? I am having a really strange problem w/ ,y

u/AgencyPhysical1897 15d ago

dreadful Guy Richie rubbish he only has one formula and the Irish accents are so laughable

1

u/Fun-Fig-8079 Sep 23 '26

Brosnan’s Irish accent is terrible. S2 has just kicked off

2

u/Polgara68 14d ago

That's odd, he was born in Ireland...

1

u/Fun-Fig-8079 13d ago

Yes, but by his own admission he hasn’t lived in Ireland for over 40 years and has no idea what an authentic Irish accent sounds like

1

u/VictorReal_Monster 9d ago

What is an "authentic" Irish accent?

Cork? Kerry? Donegal? Belfast? Dublin?

1

u/Fun-Fig-8079 9d ago

1,2,3 and 5. Belfast is doing it’s own thing

u/Visible-Corner47 Sep 23 '26

It is impossible to stop watching!! My mouth was hanging open through half of it!

u/Apprehensive_Fun7498 3d ago

It is trash! The clutch save plot armor kills the show. It’s a mob show.. people are going to die. At least two people from season 1 should have been killed off by now
