Episode 4 of Mobland (2025) is proof that you don't need shooting and explosions to make a great mob series, although it still doesnt feel like a classic mob series as we are used to watch, similar to the movies, probably throws me off its based on UK and has that is British to the core, feels a bit James Bond Fancy too, after all Pierce Brosnan is in it.This Sunday was a thick thick drama with family dark secrets that test loyalty on many fronts, father son loyalty, brothers in arms loyalty and even husband and wife loyalty. The hole Tommy murder turns into a secondary topic and dark secrets within the Harrigans start to unfold making Bella an even way more interesting character, its crazy how things change from one episode to another, in the middle of all this covering up for everyone is Harry. He has been dealing with Richie after he found his son Tommy chopped up and now waiting for Valjon to stay loyal even after all the pain Richie would put him through. Harry also had personal family matters in his hands plus with a bit of Maeve venom on top has become a problem to the point that Comrad himself paid a visit to Jan, Harry's wife to keep things within the family and never speak about Harry line of business with anyone.
Eventually Richie seem to have bought the story that Valjon didn't act in conjunction with the Harrigans and it was an isolated incident, while the big question of who the F tip out where Archie body was buried seem to be unfolding, the cops are all over Harrigans.

Before I drop the bomb of how Bella connects Maeve, Comrad, Kevin and Harry, oh men this women carry some heat between her legs. Harry pays a visit to Antoine, the frenchman Bella had been doing business with to profit and at the same time get some leverage she can work against her father, there is some dark secret we don't know yet about why she hates so much her father. She puts Harry on the task to get him the recordings about their meeting with her father and he does exactly that, he goes to her hotel to deliver the USB with the recordings and at that point he kinda pause. The reason why he pause is because he now have some kinda trouble with her wife Jan after she confess Comrad pay her a visit to keep her mouth shot when it comes to family matters and keep Harry happy for him, to this Harry think its about the therapy she has been going to but its something way more dangerous than that, at the hotel I though Harry was going to grab Bella and pound her down the bed right there as she has been teasing him in the past so probably he would blow some steam with her, but he is loyal to Kevin so he didn't, but he will? I don't know because Bella can be a btch too and just ask him not to forget he works for the Harrigans, meaning he works for her too after Harry told her to stay away from Antoine.The truth behind Comrad visit to Jan is that Maeve either lay down a trap for Harry or she is just a viper ready to strike anyone who gets close enough. The episode starts with the cops finding Archie body at a cemetery with the only ones who knew about his location were Harry and Comrad, Maeve doesn't waste any minute throwing Harry under the bus because that same day he was picked up by the cops at his apartment to what she said was the perfect cover, but Comrad answers back with a "its not Harry" multiple times so he start taking precautions paying Jan a visit to keep Harry happy and sharp, on top of keeping her mouth shut or he will pay her another visit. I have been asking myself how the F they found Archie, either he had a tracking device or someone tip off the cops but I think its because the Harrigans are so compromise by the cops, that moment Comrad visit Jan, she was with a friend who turn out to be an undercover agent who went back to Fisk, the cop after Harry arrest on prev episode.

Now lets drop some bombs, Maeve has been using Eddie all this time, btch is mad crazy and is tired of the Harrigans been so passive while the Stevensons and everybody else are controlling the streets and Comrad has move more into a a stealth operation style, avoiding war and focusing on living a more relax life but still controlling the business from far. Maeve wants a Harrigan who takes action, here comes Eddie who doesn't need much to get his craziness going, reason why she was the one who plant the idea to kill Tommy, I come to this conclusion after her conversation with Eddie where he feels everyone hates him and he was just trying to do something for the family, this is just me speculating but I think Im right on this one.Now the Mother Of All Bombs!!!. When everyone went to Costwold to hide after Kevin house blew up, Bella said she wouldn't because that's his family, meaning she doesn't do well with the Harrigans but they never explain why, one would assume Maeve didn't like her but Maeve doesn't like anyone so what was behind she not wanting to go with Kevin?, well Bella use to be Comrad's lover, Maeve knows this and to makes things spicy Comrad was the one who introduce Bella to Kevin, Kevin falls in love with Bella and one day confront her when he was done with the rumors about her been Comrad's lover to what she accept and confess. Kevin gave all the details of the story to Harry while they waiting for some answer from Richie, see how Tommy murder becomes a secondary story and now Bella who was a secondary character becomes way more important. Kevin and Harry are like brothers after everything they went through at juvenile, Bella has been teasing Harry many times so she probably the kind of woman who use sex to get favors, she is so manipulative. But there is even another secret, probably a bit darker, while Harry and Kevin where at juvenile there was this guard called Rusby who Harry saw on episode 3 when he was at a nurse house helping his maid to get a spot for her mother. Harry asks Kevin about Rusby and he answers "I dont remember no Rusby", thing is Rusby rape Kevin in juvenile and that's a secret Kevin has been planing to take to his grave but now its at risk with Harry sniffing around asking Kevin about the same guard.

For the most part of the episode there were no explosions, shootings or fights but its Mobland after all so they had to give us some sauce. The hail marry that Harry try to pull with Valjon and Richie seem to work out but Richie is not fully sold so he calls in Harry to his club and ask him to put down Valjon, gave Harry a gun but in a very gangster fashion Harry gave it back, takes thick piece of wood and stab Valjon many times until he feels he is satisfied, this had nothing to do with killing Valjon but to probably blow steam and at the same time payback for making up this entire mess he is in, if it wasn't for Eddie and Valjon, Harry would not have to be so fkn busy and might spend some more time with Jan and on top he now has the pressure that Comrad might not trust him anymore.After Harry got done with Valjon offer to clean up to what Richie said its not necessary but he insist, probably if he have left that would be it but there was one more request and that's for the Harrigan to pay respects at Tommy's funeral, I would only guess they not going to show the body at the funeral considering Tommy is all chopped up. The Harrigans have to go and from pictures that have been going around they will because if they don't they would disrespect the Stevensons and Richie would think its on purpose, falling into they conclusion they had something to do with Tommy murder.
I'm really waiting the moment for Harry to go full Venom jejeje and says fuck all this because he is under a lot of pressure now with problems on the streets with the Stevensons, problems with the Harrigans who think, well at least Maeve; he could be the rat and on top he has problems at home with Jan that now involve Comrad. I also felt Jan is a bit hypocrite at telling Harry "I don't care what you do at your work" knowing what he exactly does for living, she does enjoy the big apartment and the luxury but then keeps bitching when Harry has to stay out dealing with all the sht from Eddie's fucked up, but when he tells her everything, her answer is I don't want to know but you have to spend more time with us, she knew who she been with for the past 20 years so embrace it and shut up, she is with a gangster.
Well its been a very entertaining episode and sometimes I get carry away, I really love episode 4 and Im eager to watch how all this unfolds and what is going to be Eddie's next masterpiece or who is going to give Harry a hard time by creating problems for the Harringans.
