‘Gangs Of London’ received a hell of a lot of hype when it dropped during the pandemic but despite being incredibly violent and having some serious action scenes, I thought it was just a bit too stupid and all over the place to cement itself as one of the great shows of that year.

Season two is all set to drop come October 20th and to celebrate Sky have decided to release a trailer that’s literally just people being maimed and tortured, so if you’re of a nervous disposition you might not want to press play. Everyone else though, what are you waiting for?
One year after the death of Sean Wallace and the violent reckonings of series one, the map and soul of London has been redrawn. The surviving Wallaces are scattered, the Dumanis broken and estranged, and ex-undercover cop Elliot is now being forced to work for the investors.
To restore order, the investors have aligned behind heroin baron Asif Afridi and together they have installed a new ruling force in London in the form of brutal gang leader – Koba.
His vision for the criminal landscape is a dictatorship, a world in which old school gangster codes don’t exist and in which he holds a complete monopoly over London’s drug trade.
But this monopoly can’t last forever. The gangs are fighting back – who will win the battle for London’s soul?
OK that does look really stupid doesn’t it? It’ll probably be worth tuning into but I can’t say that I’m super stoked about it because it’s just really dumb. Love the violence though so there is that.
For more of the same, check out this trailer that isn’t quite as violent. Kinda not telling the full story there are they?
