    Looks worth a watch.

    Pierce's accent though 😂

    That's one of the worst trailers I've ever seen 🤣

    Brosnan went through about 4 different accents, all of them terrible

    Just do yourself a favour and watch Gangs of London instead

    I've only seen the first series so far, but I thought it got stronger as it went on. It took a while for the characters to find their feet, thought it settled better in the end

    Indeed - the ones which were directed by Gareth Evans, who has a movie coming out the 25th of April also starring Tom Hardy called Havoc.

    Just seen the trailer and I thoroughly agree. When someone puts on an accent like that it's a sure sign they're bailing out early. It's by Guy Richie so it's going to be all shapes and no substance more than likely.

    reminds me of the series by guy Ritchie called the gentleman

    Watched the first episode, Pierce's and Helen Mirren's Irish/Kerry accents in this are just terrible and kind of ruin the show, I am unsure if it's intentional for them to be so bad to ad comedic value, that's the only sense I can make of it.

    I flicked through it for a few seconds

    Pierce brosnan trying acting just turned me right off it

    The sniper probably cloned out of BCS

    A numpty meeting right at the start too

    Would it be better if all episodes dropped

    I thought it was okay, granted two of the actors can’t keep the same accent going for long but Tom hardly is very good, I spotted 2 actors from top boy to far

    Brosnan and Mirren's Irish accents possibly rival Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in Far and Away for awfulness. But otherwise it's not that bad. Not a must watch but if you're between shows it's ok.

    Hardy being tough guy Hardy who I can understand (WTF Taboo) is the mvp for me but I'm probably bias, it is typical Ritchie in dialogue and flair, I'd prefer it as a binge watch, all episodes

    I'm 15 minutes in and don't think I can watch any more.. it's absolutely dreadful!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 209 ✭✭Terrier2023


    despite her many accomplishments Helen Mirrens accent is soo bad its hard to listen to & brosnans is a disgrace considering he is from Navan ! thye should have used cockney accents altogether brutal, loved Tom hardy though he is a good actor and quietly menacing !

    Once I got past Brosnan & Mirren's atrocious accents (which wasn't easy) I actually thought the first episode wasn't too bad. The jury is still very much out. But the I'll give the second episode a watch.

    Haven't seen the show. Saw Brosnan talk about it with Stephen Colbert. During the production, Pierce was told to 'go more Irish' with the accent. His Ma is 91, btw.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,018 ✭✭✭✭OmegaGene


    I thought episode 2 was very good

    The whole doing coke with granny scene was rather weird.

    Actually once you get passed how bad Bronson and Mirran's accents it's pretty good. Looking forward to episode 3.

    While I wait for that I've started watching Gangs of London, episode 1 is quite promising and I see Gareth Evans the writer and director of Gangs of London has a new Netflix movie called Havoc coming out this month and it stars Tom Hardy.
