'MobLand' vs 'The Gentlemen': Which Guy Ritchie Show Is Better?
Both MobLand and The Gentlemen explore the criminal underworlds created by Guy Ritchie. But if there were a competition, which show would end up as the winner?
Guy Ritchie’s first step in directing and producing for TV are certainly impressive. When MobLand premiered, there were high expectations from it, regarding the fact that so many huge names were attached to the series, like Pierce Brosnan and of course the one and only Tom Hardy.
But let’s not forget that the previous gem created by Guy Ritchie, The Gentlemen, had Theo James as its star. Which is also sort of a big deal now and definitely is an eye-pleasing choice.
So, is it possible to compare the two shows to determine which is "better"? Let’s try.
‘MobLand’ and ‘The Gentlemen’: When Fun Meets Gritty
Both shows explore the world of crime and complex characters, but they provide different experiences for viewers. MobLand stands out with its darker, more intense storyline. At times, things are getting gory: when you’re watching a series about a full-fledged mafia war, expect cruel methods and bloody acts of revenge.
In contrast, The Gentlemen takes a more playful approach: it’s more about the characters and their interactions and jokes. Naturally, it’s still about crime and mafia, so the action and power play are there to stay; it’s just way more lighthearted than what we see in MobLand.
The show is recognized for its witty dialogue, vibrant characters, and fast-paced plot. Critics have described The Gentlemen as a fun and entertaining series. At the same time, MobLand is criticized by some fans for lazy writing: despite the show’s exciting action, characters sometimes act dumb and storylines don’t seem to make sense all the time.
So Which Show Is Better?
The choice between MobLand and The Gentlemen ultimately depends on what you seek in a series at the time. If you enjoy complex and intense drama, MobLand offers an unforgettable experience.
But if you prefer a lighter, even humorous take on crime with still vibrant characters and witty dialogue, The Gentlemen may be more to your liking.
