About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grim, gritty period crime drama with corruption, class tension, and personal stakes in every case, similar in spirit to Britannia or The Pillars of the Earth; Not for you if you dislike harsh violence or uneven momentum.

Pros: immersive period setting; gritty street-level drama; strong historical themes | Cons: uneven pacing; heavy violence; accents and acting vary
