Guy Ritchie is a master at his game. If there is anyone who has revived British Cinema, I think he single-handedly has. His choice of characters (at least the casting director’s choice of the same), location, use of language (scriptwriter), score, and the additional touch of notes in yellow comic like font to serve as an explainer for the cockney accent is inspiring. There are a few parts in the limited series that felt like a reference to Peaky Blinders. The use of different class systems to varying kinds of crime families especially the cultural ones. Russians, American, Filipinos, South Americans, Romani and the very captivating God fearing group that see themselves as a sort of representation of the God head!
This show is an exploration of the inheritance and family dynamics’s history that come into play. It is a look into generational wealth and its management and the complex ethical questions that many face with regards to legacy. It is also about leadership and strategy and respect. It is about honor and transition and the value of a lived life. It demonstrates the challenges that people face when they make decisions out of anger and half truths.
Here is a selection of Guy Ritchie’s work.
