Warning: This post contains spoilers for MobLand Season 1, Episode 10MobLand season 1 comes to an end with episode 10, “The Beast in Me”. The title is a reference to a Johnny Cash song which plays at the beginning and the end of the episode, and I suppose serves as a thematic wrap-up of Ronan Bennett’s crime drama. Like a lot of Johnny Cash songs, the lyrics are straightforward and brief. There’s a beast inside of him that is always threatening to escape. This song was released in 1994, at a time when Cash was reckoning with his lifetime of drug use.
