7 Tom Hardy dramas that crush MobLand on Netflix, BBC, and ITV

If you have had a Tom Hardy-shaped hole in your life since finishing the exhilarating latest series of MobLand, we are here to fill the void.
The king of gangster thrillers has plenty of other material to enjoy.
His performances are every bit as impressive as his portrayal of the Harrigans' ruthless fixer, Harry Da Souza.
From a film that is, dare we say, even better than MobLand, to his haunting turn as Britain's most notorious prisoner and a charming leader of a 1960s motorcycle gang, there is something for everyone.
Get ready for thrills, violence and action.
Here are seven 5-star Tom Hardy dramas to watch now on ITV, Netflix, the BBC and more.
THE BIKERIDERS
Tom joins Jodie Comer and Austin Butler for a wild ride through Americana.
The story traces the fictional Vandals Motorcycle Club in 1960s Chicago as they go from a group of rebellious outsiders to something far more violent and sinister.
Kathy (Jodie) falls in love with reckless biker Benny (Austin) and is drawn into the dangerous world of the bikers, led by Johnny (Tom Hardy), who starts to lose control of his club.
As the gang becomes more powerful, the trio are forced to make choices about their loyalty to the club, and each other.
The Bikeriders is available to watch now on Prime Video.
BRONSON
Michael Peterson would do whatever it took to make a name for himself.
In 1974, the 19-year-old headed to a post office with a sawn-off shotgun to rob it.
He was swiftly arrested and sentenced to seven years in jail.
But that was only the beginning.
Peterson went on to become one of Britain's most notorious prisoners and renamed himself Charles Bronson after the American action hero.
Tom dons his trademark bald head and curled moustache to step into the shoes of the criminal and guide us through his life, most of which was spent behind bars and in solitary confinement.
It is equal parts fascinating and terrifying.

Bronson is available to watch now on ITVX and Disney+.
WARRIOR
If you thought you had seen enough of Tom throwing punches, think again.
The actor takes on troubled Marine Tommy Conlon, who returns home to Pittsburgh for the first time in 14 years and asks his father Paddy (Nick Nolte) to help train him for a huge MMA fight.
Meanwhile, Tommy's estranged brother Brendan (Joel Edgerton) is an ex-fighter turned teacher who returns to the ring after he and his family fall into financial ruin.
The brothers end up face-to-face in the tournament, prepared to hurt each other for a life-changing sum.
Warrior is available to watch now on Prime Video and Apple TV.
LEGEND
This 2015 film is widely considered one of Tom's best performances.
It sees him take on the acting challenge of playing both Reggie and Ron Kray, the notorious gangster twins from east London.
The movie was written and directed by Brian Helgeland and is essential viewing for any Tom Hardy fan.
Legend is a dramatisation of the lives of the Kray Twins, based on John Pearson's book The Profession of Violence: The Rise and Fall of The Kray Twins.
The Kray Twins were notorious gangsters who operated out of Bethnal Green in east London from their organized crime unit known as The Firm and were at their peak during the 1960s.
The movie charts the brothers' rise to success, their growing empire, their relationships and their many runs as well as the police's obsession in taking them down.
Hardy's performance as both twins is the standout element of the movie.
Variety at the time called his roles "astonishing."
The Independent said he was "utterly fascinating" playing both Ron and Reggie.
Viewers love the movie too.
One reviewer on IMDb said it is "one of the best films ever made."
Another said Tom Hardy will "blow you away with his 5* performance."

Another fan said "you won't regret" watching the movie.
Tom Hardy stars alongside Taron Egerton as Mad Teddy Smith, one of the gangsters in The Firm.
Emily Browning plays Frances Shea, Reggie's wife.
David Thewlis plays Leslie Payne, a business manager at The Firm.
Christopher Eccleston plays Nipper Read, a detective at the MET leading the manhunt for the twins.
Chazz Palminteri plays Angelo Bruno, an American mafia boss.
Paul Anderson plays Albert Donoghue, a high ranking member of The Firm.
Colin Morgan plays Frank Shea, Frances' older brother and Reggie's driver.
Legend is now streaming on Prime Video.
MOBLAND
The series that started it all is also available to stream.
MobLand features Tom Hardy as Harry Da Souza, the Harrigans' ruthless fixer.
The second season recently concluded and has left fans hungry for more Hardy content.
WHERE TO STREAM
Each of these seven dramas is available on a different platform.
The Bikeriders is on Prime Video.
Bronson is on ITVX and Disney+.
Warrior is on Prime Video and Apple TV.
Legend is on Prime Video.
Additional titles from the full list are available on ITV, Netflix and the BBC.
Check your local streaming services for availability.
Some titles may require a subscription or rental fee.
WHY THESE DRAMAS STAND OUT
Critics have given each of these productions high marks.
The common thread is Hardy's ability to transform into completely different characters.
From a bald, violent prisoner to a 1960s biker gang leader to a pair of identical twin gangsters, Hardy demonstrates remarkable range.
Each role demands a different physicality, accent and emotional register.
The source material from Good Housekeeping describes all seven as "5-star" dramas.
Fans of MobLand will find familiar themes of crime, loyalty and violence throughout these selections.
But each story offers a unique perspective on the gangster genre.
WHAT VIEWERS ARE SAYING
Online reviews for these films and series are overwhelmingly positive.
One IMDb user called Legend "one of the best films ever made."
Another viewer said Hardy's performance in Legend will "blow you away."
The Bikeriders has drawn praise for its ensemble cast and period detail.
Bronson remains a cult favorite for its raw, uncompromising portrayal of prison life.
Warrior is often cited as one of the best sports dramas of the 2010s.
FINAL WORD
Whether you are a longtime Tom Hardy fan or a new convert after watching MobLand, these seven dramas offer hours of compelling viewing.
The variety of roles and settings means there is something for every taste.
Start with Legend for the full Hardy experience.
Then work your way through the rest of the list.
You will not be disappointed.
