From Bulletproof to Breeders, intelligence to Code 404, Sky seem adept at making the premise of a good show into something truly dire. And here we go again: What could have been something rather excellent just turns into a soapy, cliche ridden tale of a Sarf Lundun crime family. It has none of the panache of something like Fargo or Brotherhood, none of the swagger of Peaky Blinders or Gangs of London. It's more akin to one of those sideline episodes of EastEnders you used to get, like the Mitchell's in Marbella. I don't know what Sky does so wrongly to consistently churn out such sub-par productions, but it's certainly kept up it's track record here.
