I was a big fan of Guy Ritchie because of his first couple of movies and his Sherlock Holmes movies.
I grew up in the criminal underworld and spent some time involved in it as a young adult.
His first films were gritty and authentic. His characters seems like people I actually knew. Albeit, a little exaggerated, but not far from what real criminals are like. The movies just felt like they could be real. For whatever reason, he was in touch with the realworld criminal element.
But then he just started making movies with outlandish criminal types that only exist in the minds of people who have never even met a criminal.
That is what this show is. And the movie.
Which is fine, it's just not why I liked his movies, or why I placed value on anything that had his name on it.
This show is also fine. It's entertaining enough and I'm sure people will like it, but it's just like any other out of touch criminal story. Which, in my opinion, makes it average and having the Guy Ritchie name attached to it no longer means anything to me.
