Eddie Horniman (Theo James) inherits the estate and navigates the operation with Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario), the de facto head of her father's criminal network, while episodes focus on supply issues, rival threats, money laundering, and family conflicts without any framing around identity, systemic issues, or social justice. Casting includes Giancarlo Esposito as a wealthy American buyer and other supporting players from varied backgrounds, but these are incidental to the modern UK criminal milieu and do not involve swaps of established characters or foregrounded representation.

Ritchie’s involvement emphasizes stylistic banter, improvisation, and classic gangster tropes over messaging, consistent with his prior work. Reception shows no notable backlash or praise tied to progressive themes, with the series renewed on its entertainment merits.
