Plot: In Season 3 of Gangs of London, former undercover cop Elliot Carter, now a top-level gangster, partners with the Dumanis. However, a batch of his cocaine is spiked, leading to chaos and a new war for control of London’s underworld. This incident, a calculated attack, throws their operations into disarray, and Elliot must confront a blast from his past, seeking help from the imprisoned Sean
I was so looking forward to this new series.
Series 3 of Gangs of London was good.
Pros: This series still delivered on the violences, betrayal & drama. I keep credit for coming up with engaging plotlines instead of gang warfare. Elliot really took over being the lead this time around. How the mayor of London had a lot on her hand. Marian had more of an emotional journey & how many twist & turns the season look.
Cons: I find the storylines were a bit convoluted at times. I cannot believe they had the goals to kill off Sean Wallace & some characters got chucked to the waist side.
