故事简介：
故事发生在英国城市利物浦，迈克尔为黑帮头目罗尼效力多年。罗尼暗示其计划退休，而陷入爱河的迈克尔开始憧憬与女友戴安娜共同开始新生活。此时随着一批货物失踪，帮伙面临危机。与此同时，罗尼之子杰米欲与迈克尔争夺控制权。
观者吐槽中：
本剧有相当的观看门槛，因为对话中包括大量的利物浦口音、谢菲尔德口音，还有假西班牙口音，而且第一集里有很多人小声说话和咕哝。如果没有字幕，他们这样说话的时候，经常几乎一个字都听不清。
就故事本身而言，罗尼、迈克尔等角色之间的关系错综复杂，他们的合作与冲突构成了故事的主要脉络。迈克尔与戴安娜努力备孕的情节，为充满黑暗与暴力的黑帮故事增添了一丝温情，使其不只是单纯的犯罪叙事。演员的表演也有可圈可点之处，男一扮演者乔伊斯外形不错、表演也算到从位。。。。
然而，该剧也存在诸多不足。剧情冗长是一大硬伤，第一集的故事不够紧凑，与迈克尔的戏份相比，这第一集里肖恩·宾的戏份少得可怜，而且整体极其乏味。
