British writer-director Guy Ritchie has a style that sets his projects apart from everyone else's. His movies and TV shows are usually fast-paced with quick humor interwoven. And while the Paramount+ series MobLand might not have many of these qualities, it's one of his finest works nonetheless. The gangster drama is an eight-hour shot of pure adrenaline from the moment Eddie Harrigan (Anson Boone) tricks Tommy Stevenson (Felix Edwards) and murders him in cold blood. The series does not let up as British law enforcement enters the picture or when more organized crime factions join the frenzy. The series culminates in a prison sequence that hints at an even more exciting second season.

This gritty, dark mood makes MobLand quite appealing, and the show occasionally gains renewed interest in different countries and on streaming services. Data from FlixPatrol reveals that MobLand is back on Paramount+'s global streaming charts ahead of the much-anticipated second season. The Tom Hardy and Pierce Brosnan-led drama has seen significant interest in Latin America over the past week, pushing it into Paramount+'s global top ten. Outside Paramount+, viewers on Amazon Prime in New Zealand are also obsessed with the tale of the mob fixer caught up in generational crises.

Collider's Nate Richard appreciated the slight departure from Ritchie's known style. "With MobLand, he proves that he can show off his range on the small screen as well. While this series doesn't have Ritchie's trademark fast-paced editing style nor the constant snark that we've come to expect from him, his fingerprints are still very apparent. The series' initial two episodes provided for review get off to a slower start before gradually speeding things up as the brewing mob war continues to escalate," he wrote in his review of MobLand Season 1.

Guy Ritchie's New Prime Video Series Comes Out Soon

While fans await MobLand Season 2, Ritchie returns to his signature style in Young Sherlock, an upcoming Prime Video series about the famed detective. The show's official description explains:

"Young Sherlock is an irreverent, action-packed mystery that charts the legendary origin story of the world's greatest detective. When a charismatic, youthfully defiant Sherlock Holmes (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) meets none other than James Moriarty (Dónal Finn) he finds himself dragged into a murder investigation that threatens his liberty. Sherlock's first ever case unravels a globe-trotting conspiracy, leading to an explosive showdown that alters the course of his life forever. Unfolding in a vibrant Victorian England and adventuring abroad, the series will expose the early antics of the anarchic adolescent who is yet to evolve into Baker Street's most renowned resident."

MobLand is streaming on Paramount+; Young Sherlock premieres on Prime Video on March 4.
