Gangs of London series 1 and 2 recap
Gangs of London season 1 started when crime boss Finn Wallace was killed and his son Sean was left to pick up the reins and take control of his drugs empire. Sean was helped by the Dumani family and watched by several others wanting to take over his turf. Sean was eventually shot by undercover cop Elliot, who had infiltrated his gang.
Gangs of London season 2 showed that Sean had survived the shooting and Elliot had become enmeshed in criminal activity. Meanwhile the Pakistani mafia and other families had clawed their way to the top, leaving the Wallaces vowing to reclaim their supremacy. The season ended on a cliffhanger, with Sean and Elliot facing off and Sean hanging off a crane.
