The second season was significantly weaker than the previous one. The individual episodes always contained one or two really good scenes, but then they started losing pace. I also felt like the creators didn’t come up with anything new. It was basically the same thing as in Season 1, only with different adversaries. What I appreciated was the season finale and the fantastic Alfie Solomons played by Tom Hardy. 4*-

Season 2 grew together with the Shelby family. It’s bigger, flashier, more ambitious and even a little more stylish. The down-to-earth story of the British gypsy mobsters is so far more balanced and engaging than most other similarly styled series.
