Forget Peaky Blinders – there's a new stylish criminal enterprise in town! 'The Gentlemen' (TV Series), now streaming on Netflix, takes Guy Ritchie's 2019 film of the same name and expands upon its darkly comedic world of aristocratic gangsters and marijuana empires. This isn't just a rehash; it's a fresh narrative with a brand new cast navigating the perilous terrain of inherited wealth and organized crime.

Theo James shines as Eddie Halstead, who unexpectedly inherits his family's vast estate only to discover it's sitting atop a massive cannabis farm run by the cunning Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario). Expect sharp dialogue, intricate plots, and plenty of double-crosses as Eddie tries to extricate his family from this sticky situation. While sharing the film's signature wit and visual flair, the series delves deeper into the social commentary, exploring the tensions between old money and new money, privilege and power. If you're a fan of crime dramas with a dash of dark humor and impeccable tailoring, 'The Gentlemen' on Netflix is definitely worth adding to your watchlist.
