This seems to have appeared out of nowhere. The first episode has just been released today and it was a very good opener. Tom Hardy plays a fixer for the London underworld. A role that suits his moody, quiet persona brilliantly. The supporting cast include Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, Paddy Considine and the hugely underrated Geoff Bell. If the whole series is a good as the first episode then we could be in for a decent ride. Unfortunately it's looking like it's going to be an episode aired each week. Surely these broadcasters know we hate that in today's day and age! I've gone for a steady eight. I will probably alter that after its finale. It's also directed by Guy Ritchie so that will be a pointer on whether it would be your thing.
