Eddie (Theo James) is reluctantly thrust into the world of crime via his father’s estate, and will that ties him to it. He has an elder brother Freddie (Daniel Ings) who has a gambling and coke problem and (naturally) owes some very bad men, a lot of money. It just so happens that Eddie ALSO has a farm of marijuana and a thriving business, which he looks to sell off, in order to save his brother from the blushes. It’s easier said than done, however, as deals (and double deals) go awry, things get messy, and characters drop dead before you can say the word ‘dead’. To reveal anything more at this point would be to give away major plot spoilers, but it’s safe to say, that it’s one bumpy ride, and pleasantly so. Sure, the plot twists don’t always make sense, but they sure make for an amazing watch. As more and more characters get connected to plot, it becomes even more murkier and twisted. Susie (Kaya Scodelario in a powerful turn), the daughter of the estranged drug lord who runs the marijuana empire, has her own ideas. Then there’s the mysterious American ‘businessman’ Stanley Johnston (a reliable Giancarlo Esposito) who wants to buy out the business, and you have a delicious recipe for mayhem. The screenplay has the usual Ritchie chaos, but unfortunately lacks logic. There are plot holes, upon plot holes which pile up really fast. However, the show’s screenplay is consistently engaging, and keeps the viewers on the edge. This is one of those quintessential shows where you’re just supposed to go along the ride, without questioning too much.
