Three questions

Is Gangs of London scary?

Only a little. Gangs of London has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.

How gory is Gangs of London?

Extreme gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.

What is Gangs of London rated, and is it OK for kids?

Rated TV-MA, and it earns it: moderate sex and nudity, brutal violence, and frequent strong language. Not one for kids.

What is Gangs of London about?

When the head of a criminal organisation, Finn Wallace is assassinated, the sudden power vacuum his death creates threatens the fragile peace between the intricate web of gangs operating on the streets of the city. Now it’s up to the grieving, volatile and impulsive Sean Wallace to restore control and find those responsible for killing his father.
