The Gentlemen
What's the Story?
THE GENTLEMEN follows Eddie Halstad (Theo James from season 2 of The White Lotus), who inherits an estate and a dukedom from his late father. When it turns out that a drug cartel has been using the estate for production, Eddie suddenly finds himself immersed in London's criminal underground.
Is It Any Good?
Twenty-five plus years after his debut film, Guy Ritchie still has an immediately recognizable style, and this version of his movie proves that his style is a great fit for streaming. The Gentlemen series feels fast paced and reasonably witty, while providing plenty of twists and fun cameos from supporting actors. It's also light and breezy enough that viewers won't have to strain to keep up. In other words, perfect comfort television.
