British show Gangs of London has been cooking up quite a storm since its debut – but nobody outside of the UK can understand what anyone is saying.

The violent drama from The Raid director Gareth Evans tells the story of rival gangs and criminal organisations in present-day London.

But, people attempting to watch the show on Cinemax in the US are calling for subtitles as they have no idea what is being said by the show’s cast.

“Still looking for subtitles for Gangs of London so I can fully take in all the British slangs and enjoy it 110 per cent,” one person tweeted.

Another person wrote: “Why cant I find the Gangs of London subtitle file anywhere on the internet. British English so annoying.”

One person added: “Really wanted to watch Gangs of London right now, but without subtitles and the British accent, its a no no from me.”

In response to a post about the Sky Atlantic show on Reddit, one user commented: “I watched the first episode and it was great but I felt like I couldn’t understand half the dialogue.

“I’m waiting for subtitles to be released before I continue, but I can’t find them anywhere.”

Co-created by Matt Flannery, the show stars Joe Cole and Game of Thrones actors Lucian Msamati and Michelle Fairley.
