Gangs of Oslo is a captivating drama that keeps you hooked, even though some crucial pieces of the puzzle are missing. At its core, you have Moaz and Rami, childhood friends turned arch-enemies, and you can’t help but wonder about their past. What caused Rami to become a notorious gangster, and how did Moaz move on from their shared history? Rami, the enigmatic gang leader, commands both fear and admiration. Some see him as a godlike figure, while others see him as a ruthless menace. Moaz, on the other hand, is just trying to find some peace amid the chaos of his life, which is riddled with problems. What makes Gangs of Oslo so fascinating, is the interconnectedness of the characters.
The central theme of the show is the interconnectedness of their lives, how choices made in their youth continue to shape their destinies, and the blurred line between good and evil.
