The Misty Mountains
Ten episodes in Season 1.
Ok, 4 episodes in, this is good, but I don’t expect it’s for everyone. UK based mob story of a family, The Harrigans led by Pierce Bronson, in the best role I’ve seen him in, Helen Mirren is his wife, souly devoted to power and family. An event involving an irresponsible relative, causes some trouble (understatement ;)). Everyone is aghast, she’s proud.

Fast moving, brutal, coherent if you pay attention and have closed captioning, it’s the accents, can’t catch it all of it. 😇 Tom Hardy’s character as the family fixer is fairly amazing, instead of being a wreck, juggling multiple fires, visibly completely cool in life threatening situations, constant pressure. Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey) plays his wife, unhappy playing second fiddle to The Harrigans.

The first thing I’ve seen by Guy Ritchie that I like. 🤔

Up through Episode 7. 😲 The plot boils forward. A very different, intriguing role for Helen Mirren as I remember seeing her. The Dame of the Harrigans, Maeve is a menace, to the hard worked for plans of Harry (the family fixer) to avoid nuclear war, with the Stevensons as Conrad coins it.
