A HUGE twist in the finale of Guy Ritchie's Mobland series has guaranteed a second series, according to fans.
The tenth episode of the gangster show faced backlash over Pierce Brosnan's Irish accent - with some critics calling for it to be axed.

However, a dramatic end involving Tom Hardy's character Harry appears to have got viewers hooked on the idea of more episodes.
In a shock move, Harry's loyal wife Jan stabbed him in the chest in a fit of rage while chopping carrots in the kitchen.
Fans think this cliffhanger ending proves why the show must return - to find out whether he survives.
Sharing various thoughts on how series two will play out, one said: "I saw a post about the ending being bad and Harry getting stabbed being a way for Tom Hardy to leave, but I feel like what followed after the stabbing was kind of a wink that nothing is going to happen to him.
"Harry is definitely the cherry on top of the cake and the showrunners are not oblivious to that.
"If the show has a season 2, Harry will be in there and he would've survived."
Someone else added: "After enjoying the S1 finale, it appears we have our new antagonists to go up against Harry and Kevin: Kat and Eddie in series two.
"Eddie is more f****d up than we thought! Choking your own mother to death is pretty heinous.
"Before the finale, I would have said Eddie's too weak/cowardly to even be mentioned in the same breath as Kat McAllister. But seeing his venomous attempts to kill his mother, I think Kat and Eddie will find their way onto some kind of team together. I think Eddie wants to destroy every Harrigan now."
Another said: "Lowkey wish Conrad and Maeve could just be gone from season 2 and they would focus on Kat and if anything Eddie only. And Seraphina perhaps as an antagonist as well working with Kat."
A viewer wrote: "Well Eddie didn't successfully commit matricide so it'll be interesting to see how Bella reacts during S2."
