While I really enjoyed this series, some discussion here led me to watch "The Gentlemen." IMO, far superior to Mobland. I'm much more anxious for its second season than Mobland's. The acting and writing is at a different level than Mobland, again IMO.

This was a really good season:

• I enjoyed Kevin's exposition to a dead man that got us all up to speed.
• Eddie is a savage. His mom was giving him unconditional love and his response was on par.
• Richie took the bait and the carnage was lovely.
• RIP Kiko.
• Paul needs to buy better detonators.
• Conrad and Maeve are pure filth.

For next season:

• Seraphina is likely a double agent.
• Officer Tattersall (Toby Jones) will have to pivot.
• Does Eddie have any allies?

I will start "The Gentleman" next.

I watched the gentlemen bc of this thread and it was well worth it. Great show, and has some hilarious moments/characters.

Just finished episode 10 and loved it. Wasn't the lawyer surprised? She should have known better. I feel bad about Kiko, but he obviously wasn't professionally trained on the follow-up procedure and paid the price. I agree on the whole Conrad bit at the end being over the top. No resolution on Eddie at the safe house either; we didn't see him after he was pulled off his mother.

Do we know exactly who or what Kat is? Is she just a bigger player in the crime world, or perhaps working for some three-letter agency?

I don't think we know exactly what Kat is but I got the impression she was policital elite.

Can someone explain to me the whole Bella, Frenchman, her father storyline? I never fully grasped it.

Somehow I missed some info of how she was able to get revenge on her father

He father raped her since she was a child so she wanted revenge.

The frenchman arranged a meeting between an arms dealer ? (I believe) and her father, a high ranking politician, and recorded the meeting. I don't think it said what the guy asked for, but I assume just meeting with him is enough to bring him down.

Did we know about the rape prior to the finale? Did I miss that somehow?

The last episode was the first time I remember ti being mentioned.

No not at all, only when she confided to Kevin

He also has this uncanny ability to make violence hilarious (which hasnt happened much in Mobland).

He and Tarantino are GOAT's in this area. In just about every one of their films I find myself laughing out loud at sometimes horrifically violent scenes.

Thanks! Was it also revealed prior to final episode that Eddie was Conrad's son? I think I remember that it was revealed that Bella and Conrad had an affair. Guess I should've put two and two together.

It wasn't explicitly stated, but the hint was strong enough that most everyone drew that conclusion.

Little disappointed with the finale for some reason. They've obviously set it up for a Season 2. But a lot of shows that have a Season 2 still have a lot of plot points wrap up in a Season One. Sure they killed a lot of people in the season finale, but there are still a lot of things to sort out. I actually double-checked to make sure there wasn't 2 more episodes left in this season.

Still enjoyed the series and will watch further seasons. My reaction is probably in the minority.

I agree.

Seems like it asked more questions than it answered at the end.

Im in for S2 though...

Incredible

Finally watched this and ended up binging the hell out of it couldn't put it down. Really entertaining and loved Hardy's character. The only complaint is Maeve and what exactly her motivations are. She seems more like the joker in that she just likes to **** with everyone with no rhyme or reason.
