NEW DRAMA The Gentlemen From Thursday 7 March, Netflix
Thanks to acclaimed movies such as Snatch and Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Guy Ritchie has earned a reputation as one of Britain’s best film directors.
This week, he brings his iconic style to the small screen for the first time in Netflix series The Gentlemen, a crime caper about an aristocrat who finds himself at the head of a millionpound drug empire.
Inspired by Ritchie’s 2020 film of the same name, starring Matthew McConaughey and Hugh Grant, the new eight-part drama begins when aristocrat Eddie Horniman (The White Lotus’ Theo James) unexpectedly inherits his father’s estate and title as the new Duke of Halstead.
Eddie soon learns that his dad balanced the books by allowing crime boss Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario) and her East End gang to use his properties for growing cannabis, helping himself to a healthy slice of the profits.
It’s an arrangement Susie is keen to continue, but a host of unsavoury characters from Britain’s criminal underworld are desperate to muscle in on the action.
