Brick Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I have been wanting to watch the first season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Season 1 was really well done gangster action - my main question is how many episodes will Gareth Evans direct this time? He did episodes 1 and 5 last season, and both were excellent. Looking forward to season 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Isn't Gareth more of an E.P. going forward? I know he's doing post on his next film at the moment, as for the show ... well I'd love for him to direct even just one episode but not entirely sure. Thank you SO much @Commissar SFLUFANfor sharing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder a lot of folks haven't seen this. Would be a lot more popular here in the states if it did. This show is the only reason I even got AMC plus.

Fizzzzle Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I've heard great things about the show's fight scenes. Enough to make me want to get a 7 day trial of AMC+ so I don't have to pay on top of all of my other streaming services Side note: I've realized Starz is an underrated streaming platform. They shoot themselves in the foot by putting most of their shows on Netflix or Hulu, but it turns out if you try to cancel it, they let you renew it for like $3/month, and they have a pretty massive movie library in addition to their shows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Oh yeah, been looking forward to October 20th for awhile now. I wonder how many episodes this season Gareth Evans is personally directing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 So my wife and I will be watching this this week - seems the entire season dropped on October 20th in the UK all at once? Either way, I was disheartened to see Gareth Evans personally directs no episodes, and the entire writers' room is all new people? Not one writer from the first season is credited with writing an episode for the second season, so that's weird. The only returning director is Corin Hardy from season 1 (he directed 4 episodes in season 1) and he returns to direct 4 episodes of season 2. Still, seems like an entire changing of the guard here. Evans is still executive producing season 2, but that's it from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I started the first episode today on the plane and it's STILL good. Picks up pretty much where the first episode ended and still maintains that hyper violent, break neck pacing and action. It still very much feels like Gareth's show and I had no idea about the changes in the writer's room but if he's listed as an exec producer, he's overseeing the writer's room and scripts. Exec producers on TV shows are basically upper level writers so that's why the show still FEELS like he's heavily involved because in all honesty, he probably is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Yeah just based off of the first episode this show hasn't missed a beat and Evans' influence is still there. The writer and director of the pilot are both E.P.'s as well so I'm guessing they were involved with the first season in some way and are probaly really close with Evans. Show is definitely off to a great start.... now I'm debating if I should continue with this season or go back and rewatch the first season from the start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 My wife and I are now 6 (of 8) episodes in, and I have to agree - the show still very much carries the feel of the two Raid movies and the first season of this show. Even with an entirely new writers' room and all new directors' group except for Corin Hardy, who returns (and does excellent work here - he did episodes 1, 2, 9, + 10). The entire season is really well done - extremely propulsive, with clearly an even bigger budget, and at least one insane action sequence per episode. The show is less confusing this season and the whole thing is very visceral and immersive. I still do miss Gareth Evans directly directing an episode since the fight sequences are a tad worse than when he's in the director's chair but the episodes still acquit themselves nicely. I'd argue that episode for episode this season so far has been even better than season 1. So much crazy, wild shit is constantly going on, but always makes sense, especially given the powerful parties at play. The cops are nonexistent but otherwise good stuff. More people need to watch this show now. C'mon guys, check this one out, it's up everyone's alley on this board. Also the show has been thankfully renewed for a season 3, wasn't really sure how it was doing with audiences. This article makes it sound like Gareth Evans handed the creative reins over to Corin Hardy, not sure how true that is given his EP credit, but those can often be formalities in the TV world. JJ Abrams had very little to do with Lost after the pilot episode but he's technically credited throughout the show despite him having little to do with it - that was a Carlton Cuse/Damon Lindelof show. ‘Gangs of London’ Renewed for Season 3 on Sky COLLIDER.COM The news comes weeks after the second season premiered.
