Title: MobLand
Post by: Kwon on September 25, 2025, 10:26:47 AM
Anyone watching this series? Is it any good?
Donny? Taffin? Joswift?



...

Harry Da Souza (Tom Hardy)

Physique / Build: Tom Hardy has trained for Bane, Venom, Warrior — he packs dense muscle, powerlifter-ish strength.

Deadlift: Harry would dominate here. Hardy is known to pull heavy in real life, and the character’s “fixer” mentality screams grit + raw strength. Easily the best deadlifter of the three.

Bench: Solid, thick chest and triceps, but he’s more full-body brute strength than pure pusher. Still strong, but not his main edge.

🦊 Conrad Harrigan (Pierce Brosnan)

Physique / Build: Brosnan is suave, not swole. Conrad’s strength is power over people, not plates.

Deadlift: Not his arena. He’s more the guy in the tailored suit sipping whiskey while others move the iron.

Bench: Same story — he’s a tactician, not a gym rat. Might surprise with some old-school grit, but he’s nowhere near Harry or Richie physically.

🩸 Richie Stevenson (Geoff Bell)

Physique / Build: Leaner, scrappy, street-muscle type. He’s wiry, explosive, probably a grinder in a fight.

Deadlift: Strong for his size, but not moving Hardy-level plates. He’d go high-rep gritty rather than max-weight glory.

Bench: Probably his best lift — compact chest, wiry arms, “fight-ready” strength. He could out-bench Conrad, but not Harry.

🏆 Strength Rankings

Deadlift King → Harry (raw brute pulling power)
Bench Boss → Harry again, though Richie gives more fight than Conrad.
Overall Strength → Harry, by a long shot.

Conrad’s strength is all mind games and power plays, not barbells. Richie’s got that street tough strength, but Harry’s the one who could walk into a gym and make the barbell bend.

Hardy is one of the best ever, but I thought Brosnan was off the charts on this one.  Very surprised.

Haha, you're welcome! You're a great contributor — an officer, a gentleman, and a scholar!

I started watching the show, and yeah, it’s fantastic. Brosnan and Hardy are both excellent in their roles, and the whole cast is top-notch. At first, I thought the cop, Ivan Fisk, was played by Rafe Spall (the video store employee from Shaun of the Dead), but I checked and it’s actually Luke Mably — they look similar.

He's become lazy but I suspect that's putting cash in his pocket. Showed some decent acting chops early on but as you say he's now just the same character in everything. Statham-esque.

Watched first episode of House of Guinness on Netflix. It is from the same guy who did Peaky Blinders so I have high hopes. The modern soundtrack threw me off but it is promising so far.

I enjoyed both but thought Breaking Bad was a bit better. The reason you won't watch Breaking Bad is because everyone else thinks it is good? Or you just ignore the others' opinions and haven't watched it for a different reason?

If I watch it and its not as good as everyone said I will be annoyed at them.

It simply cant live up to the hype.

Hence not watching it

I listened to all the hype about "Sixth Sense" and sat down to watch it.
After he got shot and the next scene on the park bench my wife said "Is he already dead"?

What a load of bollocks after that

BCS was great but really the best parts were the Mexicans, Mike and Gus

Saul was kind of cringe. The lady protagonist, I forget her name was kind of a crap actress.

I watched it on Netflix skipping over almost every scene with Saul and her and most Saul scenes in general except when he was interacting with Mike or Gus or the cartel

I watch Black Rabbit first episode tonight and liked the plot and characters very much, love both Jason Bateman and Jude Law generally.  Unfortunately it is shot in that dark low light style that is very annoying because sometimes you can't tell what's going on without turning off all the damn lights.

Many of the streaming services (most?) offer multiple simultaneous streams if you're close enough to someone to share (nh).  I do this with family and vice versa for some of them.
