I was worried he’d get inadvertently caught up in all the stabbing. I hope everyone leaves that poor baby puppy alone.She fights tooth and nail to escape Asif, only for her beau to hand her back to the enemy? No, thank you. Lale most certainly won’t forgive Sean for his latest transgression.I can’t wait to watch the Targaryens of London violently implode when Sean finds out his mother is actively endeavoring to dethrone him.Joe Cole as Sean Wallace – Gangs of London _ Season 2, Episode 6 – Photo Credit: Christopher Raphael/AMC/Sky UK “Episode 6” aptly sets the stage for Lale’s incredible battle, with sweeping, cinematic shots, sights and sounds engaging the senses, and impressive fight choreography that takes us over the ultraviolent edge. The figurative gloves are off for the women in Gangs of London, and we’re all the better for their collectively dominating presence. So, if you want to kill them, let me help you do it. SHANNON: I’ve been working with Marian, Elliot. Even Shannon, who once viewed Sean as a brother, hopes to kill him and enlists Elliot’s aid in bringing that to fruition. Marian will go against her child to ensure he doesn’t rule London with Koba. While Lale’s badassery definitively takes the crown as the episodic highlight, Marian and Shannon make crucial moves from the sidelines. The women steal the show this go-round (as they should). We’re undoubtedly in for familial drama and infighting aplenty.

“Episode 6” sets us up for the final two outings regarding these plots. Of course, Sean’s decision to sacrifice Lale to hold onto his throne is a contested one.

Sprinkle in the immense guilt he feels for leaving a vulnerable Charlie at the airport, and his all-out expression of grief rings painfully true. He reacts as most folks do upon learning someone they love is gone. Dìrísù’s performance never feels like it’s over the top. We can have it back, Ed.ĭìrísù was an acting highlight in last week’s outing however, he outdoes that performance in “Episode 6.” Elliot’s breakdown regarding his father’s murder, like Lale’s fight for survival, is so viscerally felt.

MARIAN: You understand what it took to build this city, and you know the pain of losing it. It’s fun watching how far both parties push themselves to survive. We’re seeing survival at its most primal and raw. Ultimately, part of what makes his fight with Lale so compelling is their no-holds-barred approaches to it. While Asif’s motives are less selfless than Lale’s, his need to exact vengeance against Lale for murdering his son is understandable. Mir delivers a gritty, dark, vicious turn as Asif Afridi, who tries to claw his way to victory over Lale. In addition to Rashidi’s piss-and-vinegar performance, players like Asif Raza Mir and Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù dole out brilliant work.

Her indomitable spirit is in full form here. Sure, Lale’s done her fair share of murdering, but when you realize she doesn’t want power for the sake of it, it’s easier to root for her. “Episode 6” sheds more light on her character and who she is. She yanks you into her scenes and doesn’t let go. Rashidi pulls no punches in her physical work (no pun intended) as in her emotional work. We feel everything Lale feels as she fights for her life.ĪSIF: I will not work with the man who helped kill my son. It’s as immersive as the sleek camerawork. There’s a visceral ruthlessness to her performance.

Rashidi gives it her all in a way we seldom see onscreen. “Episode 6” probably features the least amount of action in a Gangs of Londonepisode, but once the narrative crescendos to a fever pitch, the white-knuckled fight sequences kick into high gear. Gangs of LondonSeason 2 Episode 6 is an edge-of-your-seat cinematic thrill ride bolstered by a brutal, unflinching performance from Narges Rashidi.
