Zusammenfassung
Reviewers say 'The Gentlemen' series by Guy Ritchie impresses with its stylish storytelling and British eccentricity. The ensemble cast, including Theo James and Ray Winstone, delivers standout performances. The show boasts rich narratives, sharp dialogue, and complex characters. Visually, it excels with lush cinematography and meticulous costumes. However, some find pacing uneven and plotlines convoluted, occasionally prioritizing style over substance. Despite these issues, it remains an enjoyable and unique crime drama.

If that makes any sense. What I'm trying to say while pointing Aristotle's quote into a mirror, is that this is worth watching simply for all of the outstanding individual performances. There are many other reasons to tune in, but the acting clinic on parade here is a lot of fun.
The Parts:
#1 - The Story
Of course, this story began with the film but has only a very tangential relationship with that work. Every episode has a beginning, middle, and an end, as well as a cliffhanger or something else to propel viewers onward. As with his movies, some of the stories worked for me, others didn't. Some of the conflicts were just way too facile with their resolutions. Eddie was pushed into way too many predicaments as he tried to extract his family from the business, accepting too many dangerous assignments for reasons not adequately explained, not to me.
#2 - The Dialogue
Ritchie seems to have developed his own form of dialogue in which street toughs and lowlifes converse with a sort of modern day Shakespearean banter, well above the vernacular of the average dirtbag, whether in real life or in other movies. While Tarantino was propelled into stardom for the way in which some of his characters lapse into long soliloquys, whether on their own or in a group, Ritchie's creations throw around a lot of word-a-day calendar vocabulary in their speechifying. It comes off affected at times, but more often than not his dialogue is a lot of fun.
#3 - The Characters
Bringing fun-as-hell characters to life on the screen is definitely Ritchie's strong point, or one of them. Eddie, Susie, Jimmy, Bobby, and Geoff could all walk away from this and carry their own series. It helps to have such talented actors reading you lines, and it definitely is important for actors to have great material to spin into the roles they help to create.
Compared to about 99% of what is out there in TV and movie land, this series was positively brilliant. Period.

When I initially tuned in, I anticipated a B-grade, easy-watching spin-off from a beloved film. Little did I know that Guy Ritchie was involved. After the first episode, I realized what I'd signed up for and relished every moment of the journey.
True to form, the series delivered a plethora of dynamic characters, accompanied by snappy, witty dialogue and intricately woven plot points. It epitomizes the quintessential Guy Ritchie style, offering an extended exploration of characters and storylines.
In conclusion, if you have a penchant for gritty UK mobster shows, this one is tailor-made for you. Sit back, relax, and savor the experience.

As a big fan of Guy Ritchie and the movie that this was based off, The Gentleman, I've been looking forward to this since I first heard about it, especially when I heard Ritchie was also creating it and even directing episodes. Even though it's not quite as good as the movie it's still very good and absolutely worth your time to watch this. I enjoyed the style of this series. It makes you enjoy every character and actually care about what happens to them. Theo James was terrific as the lead and between his performance in this and The White Lotus last year I hope it leads to even bigger things for him. If you're looking for a new show that is just a fun watch then this is it. I really hope they do several seasons of this because I'm fully invested.
The Gentleman is a spin off of the movie of the same name. The movie was great and had big stars involved in it like Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Colin Farrell, Hugh Grant, Jeremy Strong among others so based off that star power alone I thought this wouldn't measure up. I was wrong. This was brilliant. I literally couldn't stop watching this and enjoyed every second of it. The story is about an aristocrat (Theo James) who inherits the family estate. He's unaware that that estate includes running one of the biggest drug empires in the country. That drug syndicate doesn't plan on going anywhere either. You can tell Guy Ritchie was heavily involved in this because it has his style all over it. If you like his films you'll like this series too.
Taking the same path of the movie, this Netflix series follows the adventures of former soldier and recently titled Eddie, who inherits the family estate, and unknowingly, a joint-venture weed empire with a London gang.
And it's this entertaining clash of old-English aristocracy and contemporary London drug gang that makes this series entertaining. Eddies older brother, Freddie, who should have inherited, is errant if well meaning, provides some classic ineptitude for comedy value.
And there's a good balance of romantic tension between Eddie and the daughter of the gang's boss to keep you guessing. The casting is good, production values high and storylines engaging.
Witty, stylish and fun, it's a good addition to the Netflix lineup. Not too serious and gory, but with enough tension and characters to keep you entertained.
