MobLand, directed by Guy Ritchie, is a nostalgia-driven series that unabashedly borrows from 1990s culture while being set in present-day London. Starring Pierce Brosnan, the show features a crime family named the Stevensons and relies on caricatured Cockney accents and a soundtrack exclusively from The Prodigy's 1997 album, highlighting its 90s fixation. Although the premise centers around Tom Hardy as a fixer involved in a gang war, the series falls short of making its characters relatable or authentic, presenting a comedic façade marred by anachronistic dialogues and shallow portrayals.
MobLand is a reflection of the longing for past decades, drawing on 90s nostalgia to create a crime drama that feels like a cultural throwback.
The series features oversimplified characterizations and humor reminiscent of 90s pop culture, while struggling with its contemporary setting in present-day London.
