Guy Ritchie Meets ‘The Sopranos’ in Paramount+’s 10-Episode Gangster Series
Guy Ritchie’s Paramount+ crime drama MobLand is being presented as a strong choice for viewers seeking a modern series with elements reminiscent of The Sopranos. The article argues that its focus on a dangerous crime family, violence and morally ambiguous characters echoes the appeal of the influential mafia drama, which ran from 1999 to 2007.
MobLand follows Harry Da Souza, played by Tom Hardy, a fixer working for the Harrigan crime family. Led by Conrad Harrigan, portrayed by Pierce Brosnan, the family is involved in Britain’s drug trade and faces rival criminals; the ten-episode first season concluded last spring, with a second season expected soon.
