What to expect from ‘Gangs of London’

The official trailer reads: Finn Wallace (Colm Meaney) was the most powerful criminal in London. Now, his son Sean (Joe Cole) must prove he's ready to take his father's place. What more, the press release further shed light on the summary of the show: "Set in the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic and multicultural cities, 'Gangs of London' tells the story of a city being torn apart by the turbulent power struggles of the international gangs that control it and the sudden power vacuum that’s created when the head of London’s most powerful crime family is assassinated. The series has been renewed for a second season with AMC on board to co-produce."

What will you get to see in the 10 episodes?

Perhaps the one man who might be able to help him and be his ally is Elliot Finch (Dìrísù), who up until now, has been one of life’s losers, a lowlife chancer with a mysterious interest in the Wallace family.
