Tom Hardy’s Harry Da Souza is back for MobLand Season 2, which is drawing stronger reviews than its predecessor. The crime drama continues to impress fans with its fusion of family warfare, brutal violence and Guy Ritchie’s signature style as the Harrigans face another round of trouble.
MobLand Season 2 reviews and Rotten Tomatoes score are better than Season 1
The Rotten Tomatoes numbers show a noticeable jump. Season 2 of MobLand currently holds an 90% critics score and a 69% audience score, compared with 77% and 67%, respectively, for Season 1. Critics have largely singled out the new season’s performances, action and escalating family drama, although several reviews also point to weaknesses in its storytelling and originality.
Ryan Britt of Inverse called the first season a “refreshing jolt” and said the follow-up has not lost its magic. JoBlo’s Alex Maidy was similarly enthusiastic, praising the current run while saying he is eager to see “where the story goes next.”
The Times of India’s Abhishek Srivastava also described the opener as entertaining, pointing to its performances, violence and family drama. Nick Schagertop of The Daily Beast calls the follow-up “on par with many of Ritchie’s big-screen features.”
Not every critic, however, has been sold on the formula. The Guardian’s Sarah Dempster criticized the show’s heavy reliance on profanity and violence, while IndieWire’s Ben Travers argued that the series struggles whenever it stops delivering action.
The Playlist’s Rodrigo Perez found the growing betrayals and competing agendas effective at putting pressure on already-fragile relationships. Metro’s Tom Percival, meanwhile, said the show offsets its familiar setup with “eccentric characters” and a “gripping plot.”
Season 2 also expands the ensemble. Johnny Flynn and Ophelia Lovibond join as series regulars, while Janet McTeer, Toby Jones and Alex Fine return. Hardy remains at the center as Harry, the fixer caught between dangerous forces. Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren continue as Conrad and Maeve Harrigan, while the story again revolves around London’s criminal power struggles.
