No Cowboys, But Plenty of 'Yellowstone-Style' Drama — Gritty New Series Set to Fill Kevin Costner Gap
For those tired of waiting on spin-offs and craving something rugged and masculine.
When Yellowstone wrapped up and Taylor Sheridan paused to develop spinoffs, I didn’t think anything could match the mix of brutal family dynamics and criminal empire-building. But then MobLand arrived — and honestly, it caught me off guard.
Set not in the American West but in blood-soaked London, MobLand replaces ranchers with sharply dressed mobsters. There’s no cowboy hats here, but the emotional weight and power struggles? Very much in place.
One of the show’s biggest assets is Tom Hardy as Harry da Sousa — not a blood relative of the Harrigan clan, but functioning as their fixer, protector, and enforcer. He radiates menace and charisma in every scene.
I binged the entire first season — and honestly, I couldn’t stop. And that intro song! The Harrigan family is like the anti-Duttons — they’re not trying to preserve a legacy, they’re actively tearing it apart. The inner-family conflict hits just as hard, but there’s less sentimentality and way more bite.
And let me just say: Helen Mirren as the matriarch? Ruthless. She made me genuinely angry, to the point I was talking back to the screen. On the other hand, Pierce Brosnan really surprised me — I didn’t expect him to fit this gritty tone.
The show has already been renewed for Season 2, and I, for one, can’t wait.
