Paramount+'s series MobLand, created by Irish writer Ronan Bennett, features memorable scenes like Maeve comforting her grandson Eddie with both maternal affection and a bag of cocaine. The show, directed by Guy Ritchie, highlights the generational impact of crime, showcasing Eddie's risky choices that threaten the Harrigan family legacy. As tensions rise due to Eddie's violent actions, Maeve's unconventional nurturing reflects a nuanced perspective on youth and familial loyalty. Despite finding its footing, MobLand captivates with its thrilling storytelling and rich character dynamics amidst a British gangster backdrop.
"Nan of the year," Eddie says, thankfully. "Holy shit," I said, stunned.
Even as the Paramount+ show is still finding its footing, it's still happy to gift us moments of sheer entertainment like this.
MobLand is also a show about how the sins, or crimes, of the young can potentially upend the work of decades.
While everyone else naturally blames the short-fused young man for his own mistakes, grandmother Maeve sees things differently.
