Fightland is a London-set Starz drama produced by 50 Cent that combines professional boxing with organised crime, but the review judges it to be overly familiar and lacking a distinctive identity. Although its premise could support a tougher, more vivid series, the critic finds the execution tame and forgettable, relying on clichés associated with shows such as Peaky Blinders, Gangs of London and Power.

Howard Charles plays Duke Kilroy, a boxer whose heavyweight-title victory in Las Vegas is followed by an attack that leaves his hand smashed and someone close to him dead. After an impulsive act leads to almost eight years in prison, Duke returns to London seeking revenge against his former manager, Kingsley Marshall, whose boxing operation fronts a drug empire now run by his children, Zeek and Cebella.
