Gangs of London
Joseph Gilgun as Vinny is a charismatic antihero whose struggle with bipolar disorder turns the crime comedy into an unexpectedly touching drama.
Now released the British series Gangs of London on August 22, 2019. Vinny O'Neill and his friends from the fictional northern town of Hawley live a life of crime — scams, petty thefts, and a constant escape from responsibility. Vinny suffers from bipolar disorder, rooted in a troubled childhood with an alcoholic father and a mother with mental health issues. The tone is bold, ironic, and childishly irresponsible, but behind the jokes lies real pain and social drama of the working class. The format is serial, with seasons of 6–8 episodes, each featuring a new scam with an unpredictable ending. If you like Misfits, Shameless, or British comedies in the spirit of Get Shorty — Gangs of London will be a characterful discovery.
Six seasons have been released by 2024, with the seventh in production.
