BingeNext's take

If you’re into gritty crime dramas with plenty of action and complex characters, Gangs of London is a solid pick. The show follows Sean Wallace, who’s thrown into chaos after his father, the leader of a criminal empire, is assassinated. It’s intense and raw, with a lot of tension as Sean tries to keep the fragile peace between rival gangs while hunting down those responsible. The cast, including Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù and Michelle Fairley, brings a lot of depth to the story, making it feel personal and unpredictable. With three seasons and 25 episodes, each about an hour long, it’s a binge-worthy dive into the dark underbelly of London’s streets. If you liked Peaky Blinders or Marvel’s The Punisher, this one’s right up your alley for a mix of drama, action, and crime.
