What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Gangs of London pairs gangland intrigue with elaborate, bone-crunching action. Shootouts and close-quarters brawls are brutal and kinetic, giving the violence a physical force beyond the plotting. The pace is relentless, the tone dark, and revenge turns disputes over control into bloody confrontations rather than quiet negotiations.

The dead crime boss’s heirs have to contend with rival international gangs as well as a web of shifting alliances. Deception makes any agreement uncertain: a partner can become a threat, and a bid for power can invite a double-cross. Across modern London, that scramble for control gives the sprawling crime story its atmosphere of distrust.

The Capture poster

The Capture

BBC One • Jun 18, 2026
CrimeDrama

After ex-soldier Shaun Emery's (Turner) conviction for a murder in Afghanistan is overturned due to flawed video evidence, he returns home a free man to his young daughter. But when CCTV footage from a night out in London comes to light, Shaun's life takes a shocking turn and he must soon fight for his freedom once again. With DI Rachel Carey (Grainger) drafted in to investigate Shaun's case, she quickly learns that the truth can sometimes be a matter of perspective. Should she trust Shaun Emery?

Why this pick

Gangs of London keeps tension high with betrayals and danger that can erupt without warning, and The Capture brings that same uneasy sense of trust slipping away. Instead of gangland brawls, its London thriller turns CCTV footage into a source of doubt, with fast reversals and a detective caught between suspicion and evidence.

Blood Coast poster

Blood Coast

Netflix • Dec 9, 2025
CrimeDrama

A group of police officers with particular methods who track down a dangerous criminal in order to prevent Marseille from plunging into a bloodbath.

Why this pick

The hard-hitting action and relentless danger of Gangs of London carry over to Blood Coast, where Marseille’s streets become a backdrop for fast, physical crime drama. Pursuits, raids, and shootouts keep the pace urgent, while a combative police squad gives the violence a rough team spirit rather than a family feud’s shifting loyalties.
