Gangs of London: Crazy Farm House Shootout
(Don’t watch if squeamish).
Gangs of London is the most violent TV show ever. Surpassing Game of Thrones in its unabashed non-stop brutality.
In the first ten seconds of the first episode, an innocent person is hung from an unfinished skyscraper, then set ablaze and dropped. This sets the tone of what is to come.
The most eye-widening violence comes during a crazy shootout at a farmhouse. While Games of Thrones and Vikings showcase swords and shield combat, Gangs of London goes with The Raid style of fistfights and gunplay:
And in the farmhouse scene, there are a lot of guns, bombs, and blood. Literally, over the course of an episode, the house is destroyed and bodies are cut to shreds with automatic gunfire. By the end, there are dead men and women everywhere.
Breathtaking and brutal.
