Violence occurs not only in London but Internationally. It begins as a family response to the killing of a godfather figure in London that held the various gangs together for the greater good. With his demise killing became the focus of this series. But, if that was all there is to the series it would be completely unwatchable. The series goes much deeper than the violence and gore as individuals in the different gangs attempt to survive as well as retaliating against the violence directed at them. There are betrayals as well as loyalties and there are efforts to protect family members as the incredible violence increases. Some scenes are so intense and gory it becomes difficult to not avert watching. The one missing element in the series is a significant lack of law enforcement involvement with all of the unrelenting carnage occurring. There also is a total lack of morality with virtually every principle character.
