The series opens when Luke Pasqualino's small-time hustler Albert Hill and his posh partner Rupert Grint as Charlie Cavendish find a truck of bullion belonging to Miami gangster Sonny Castillo. They rope in Traveller boxer Billy Ayers and Sonny’s restless moll Lotti Mott, then spend two seasons dodging bullets from corrupt inspector Bob Fink, Albert’s prison-king father Vic and a rotating roster of underworld heavies. Crackle ordered the show in April 2016 as a stateside expansion of Guy Ritchie’s 2000 film, keeping the London swagger but swapping Yorkshire terriers for streaming-friendly twenty-somethings.
Production began in Manchester the week of 29 August 2016 under creator Alex De Rakoff, who ran a single-camera shoot across 42-minute episodes for Little Island and Sony Pictures Television. The first ten-episode run landed on 16 March 2017; a second season arrived after the 19 April 2017 renewal, concluding on 13 September 2018 before Crackle quietly cancelled the property. Alongside Pasqualino and Grint, the cast features Lucien Laviscount, Phoebe Dynevor, Dougray Scott and Marc Warren, with Grint also taking an executive-producer credit.
