Ganglands (2021)

Review by laduqesa

Ganglands

6/10

Waiting for Season 2

There were some huge holes in the plot. Some of them were the usual ones - the good guys can kill a dozen bad ones with just a pistol when the bad guys are using machine guns, a hitwoman fails to kill a driver who is about to run her over even though she has the time, evidence is dropped by accident so that people can be traced by the baddies.

There are some dichotomies too. One of the "good" gangsters says that they would refuse to kill a guy they capture as they are "not murderers". However, in the first scene that opens the series, their heist involves killing plenty of the muscle of a rival gang.

I also had difficulties with Liana's character too. She's too wilful and stupid to have made a convincing partner for the professional gangsters. Indeed, her actions lead to disaster and tragedy on more than one occasion.

Having said that, the series was immensely enjoyable, especially the dreamboat Saber played by Salim Kechiouche. In fact all of the cast was attractive, particularly Nabiha Akkar as Sofia Djebli. They moved the action on at a cracking pace. One other thing I appreciated was that the writers weren't afraid to kill off likeable main characters.

There was no cliffhanger, but an open ending that is sure to presage a second season. I can't wait.
